The Osbourne Ensemble

The Osbourne Ensemble is a group of 15 dynamic actors and artists ready to take the world of theater by storm. In my opinion the Osbourne Ensemble is a prime example of what theater should aim to do, which is cast without the barriers of color. Yes, color blind casting. The diversity and cultural awareness within this one group has given me new perspectives on the interpretations of plays, characters, and even Shakespeare. We have Mexico, Nigeria, India, Canada, Cambodia, Italy, and the United States all in one classroom and under the umbrella of theater. After being in class with these talented actors for three weeks, it has rejuvenated my spirit, imagination, and trust in challenging the impossible.
