ABOUT THE SHOW:
This is a musical based on the popular children’s books: ROSIE REVERE, ENGINEER, ADA TWIST, SCIENTIST; and IGGY PECK, ARCHITECT by Andrea Beaty.
PRODUCTION NOTES:
All actors must be available to audition, rehearse, and travel from Los Angeles. All roles are strong singers and movers.
This is a touring musical. The company travels by car & van to theaters and schools. The tour plays a new venue almost every day.
All actors are signed as Assistant stage managers and will be required, as such, to lift scenery and sound equipment during daily load-in and load outs. All actors participate in assembling and disassembling the set at each venue and school at which they perform.
[ROSIE REVERE] Female, 18+ to play a kid, any ethnicity. Strong singer/mover. Ambitious but also shy with a clever sense of humor. A sweet kid who is used to blending into the background (where she can secretly build machines) as she presumes that no one will understand her ideas. But recently energized by her Great Aunt Rose, she is now testing out her own confidence. Engineer. Vocal range: Sweet Mix to D.
[ADA TWIST] Female, 18+ to play a kid, black. Strong singer/mover. A scientist with nonstop energy. Happy, excited, full of ideas and questions, constantly shifting focus. Her energy is supplemented by her comic timing. Talks fast and doesn’t always listen to the answers to questions she peppers. Sometimes careless, but only out of constant thrill. Vocal range: High Pop Belt to D# is a must.
[IGGY PECK] Male, 18+ to play a kid, any ethnicity. Strong singer/mover. A sophisticated architect in the body of a second grader. Fine on his own. A dreamer but a dreamer that is just as passionate about realizing his ideas. Dry sense of humor and wit. Straightforward. Calm. Confident. Vocal range: High Agile Pop Belt to Bb is a must.
[GREAT GREAT AUNT ROSE] Female, 20 – 30, BIPOC. Strong singer/mover. Rosie’s inspiring GREAT, GREAT AUNT ROSE. A tough but playful Rosie the Riveter-type. Doubles as a student and other characters. Vocal range: Heavy low belt to B.
[LILA GREER] Female, 20 - 30, any ethnicity. Strong singer/mover. A new teacher, worrier, prim, proper and always a little nervous. Doubles as some additional characters. Vocal range: Belt/Mix to D.
