SEEKING:
Rose Stopnick Gellman:
Late 30s-early 40s. New Yorker, Jewish, smart, recently married to Stuart. Strong actress/singer, she needs to have warmth, wit, comedic timing. She tries to take the lead in a household that is still grieving the loss of the previous wife. For most of the play she does not succeed. Alto/belt.
Stuart Gellman:
Late 30s-early 40s. Assimilated Southern Jew. Recently widowed and remarried. Will have to play-act the clarinet. Polite, avoids conflict, is in mourning for his recently dead wife and cannot be present for his new wife and son. He has a warm heart and a deep internal presence. Baritone.
Grandpa Gellman:
Mid 50s-70s, Assimilated Southern Jew, distinguished. The Gellmans are liberal, and the avoid conflict. Warm hearted, supportive of his family. A noble gentleman. Bass-baritone.
60s-70s, Rose’s father. Strong character, very political and opinionated. Passionate in his views. Jewish from NYC, clashes with Southerners. Pushy, radical, communist, showy, has great heart for his daughter.
Emmie Thibodeaux:
18+ to play mid-late teens. African-American. Caroline’s only daughter. Loving, fun and feisty. Has an activist's spirit. Excellent actress/singer who moves well. Young looking. Alto/belt.
The Washing Mashine:
Late 30s-late 40s, African American female, killer singer. Some movement abilities are required. Has to be somewhat agile and comfortable with performing mostly inside a washing machine. Alto/belt.
The Radio:
20s-30s, three African-American women. A girl group. Like The Supremes, their singing ranges and harmonies are challenging. Must move well. They need to be able to blend together, and work well as a unit. All three are soprano/belt.
The Moon:
Any age. African American Woman. She sings in a very legit style but can also “get down”. Hauntingly beautiful voice, soprano.
