Raleigh Little Theatre and Raleigh Symphony Orchestra extend our most heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who auditioned for this show, and we encourage each of you to audition here again. Your talent and energy were incredible.

From the beginning of this process, we were committed to having a diverse cast, and we made extensive efforts to get the word out and invite people to participate. We are proud to live in a diverse community where this cast of “West Side Story” reflects the diversity needed to tell this story.
