Auditions are now open for FADE by Tanya Saracho.

Bishop Arts Theatre Center is casting Lucia and Abel for the first production of our 2026–2027 season, directed by Dr. Marta Torres.

Fade follows Lucia, a Mexican-born novelist beginning her first television writing job in a predominantly white Hollywood writers’ room, and Abel, the Mexican-American custodian working in her office building.

What begins as an unexpected connection grows into a complicated friendship as they navigate identity, class, culture, ambition, and the question of who gets to tell whose story.

CASTING

Lucia — Female, 28
Mexican-born and Americanized. An ambitious novelist starting her first television writing job in Los Angeles.

Abel — Male, early 30s
A Los Angeles-born Mexican-American custodian who is proud of his Mexican heritage. Grounded, observant, guarded, and funny.
