Seeking:

Ren McCormack

Excellent singer and dancer who can play high school age. Good-looking, smart, likable, charismatic, who has a cockiness which masks the hurt he feels from his father deserting him.

Ariel Moore

Excellent singer and dancer who can play high school age. Lovely, smart. She has a soft and sensitive side that is masked by her rebelliousness. Is drawn to Ren because she is dealing with her own sense of loss.

Reverend Moore

30s/40s. Good singer/actor. A good, decent, loving man who is in pain over the loss of his son and the estrangement of his daughter, Ariel. A serious man who feels the weight of responsibility for the moral life of his congregation

Vi Moore

30s/40s. Good singer/actress. Warm, loving, devoted to her husband and daughter. Tends to be deferential toward her husband but can stand up to him when the situation calls for it.

Ethel McCormack

Ren’s mother. 30s/40s. Good singer/actress. Obviously the source of Ren’s strength and determination. Fiercely supportive of her son.

Rusty

Ariel’s best friend. Excellent singer/dancer with comic ability who can play high school age. Fun loving, adventurous, energetic.

Willard 

Ren’s best friend. Good singer/dancer with comic ability who can play high school age. A loyal, small town guy who is a perfect foil for Ren

Lulu Warnicker; Wes Warnicker; Chuck Cranston

30s/40s. Good singer/actors. Townspeople who are good and decent at heart but are small-minded and provincial and afraid of change.
