For Freddy Eynsford-Hill: On the Street Where You Live
ROLES
Characters in My Fair Lady retain their written gender identities as part of the story. That said, we warmly encourage people of all gender identities to audition for any role — casting decisions will be based on fit for the production. All performers should be over 14 years of age. While ages are not listed for lead roles, we will be looking for age-appropriate performers.
Henry Higgins (Lead / baritone): Brilliant, arrogant, and oblivious to his own feelings. The phonetics professor who bets he can pass Eliza off as a duchess. Comic and complex in equal measure.
Freddy Eynsford-Hill (Supporting / tenor): The besotted young suitor utterly captivated by Eliza. Requires charm and a strong tenor voice.

A NOTE ON CASTING
All roles are open regardless of background, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Theatre Aurora is committed to inclusive, community-centered theatre.
Casting is subjective and based on the creative team’s vision. Decisions may be influenced by factors including age, physical presentation, vocal blend, or how performers look next to one another. Not being cast in one show does not reflect on your talent — we hope to see you at every audition.
Theatre Aurora is a not-for-profit organization and is a non-union, non-paying volunteer opportunity.
All performances take place at Theatre Aurora, Aurora, Ontario
