BREAKDOWN
Shows and role names will be updated March 1, 2019
Show 1:
Actor 1: F, 20s-30s, Black. A beautiful mysterious woman and maybe wise one who has a way with words and Pall Mall cigarettes. Who is she? What is she? Why is she? She is as loving as she is shocking.
Show 2: All characters can be played by any race or ethnicity.
Actor 1: F , 13, later 16 (to be played by actor 17 and above); brilliant
Actor 2: M , 22-25, her tutor; quick-witted and attractive
Actor 3: F/NB, late 30s-early 40s; author, grounded
Actor 4: M, late 30s-early 40s, scholar, more than a bit full of himself
Actor 5: M/NB, mid 20s-early 30s, a mathematician
Actor 6: M/NB, late 30s-early 60s, a non-entirely-with-it landscaper
Actor 7: M/NB, 30s, a terrible poet
Actor 8: F, late 30s-early 40s, sexy, smart, if not entirely well-read
Actor 9: M, mid 30s- early 40s, bluster
Actor 10: F/NB, 18, flighty
Actor 11: M/NB, 15, watchful, energetic
Actor 12: M/NB, early 40s-early 70s, a butler
Show 3:
Seeking 8 actors, all genders, all ages, to play multiple characters in a fast-paced physical romp around the globe. Physical skills (such as circus, clowning, etc) and comedy. This play requires a racially and ethnically diverse cast so we especially encourage actors of color to audition.
Show 4:
Actor 1 - M, extra-late 20s, white
Actor 2: F, mid-late 20s, Asian
Actor 3: F, early 20s, white
Actor 4: F, extra-late 30s, anything really
Actor 5: M, 20 years old, black
Actor 6: M, late 30s, unclear
Show 5:
Actor 1: any gender and race, ages 35-75
This poet may, in fact, be the poet; the story they tell may be the story. They have been around a long time and have told it for centuries. They arrive on this day to tell it again, hoping it is the last time. Though weary and worn, they maintain that human capacity for excitement and humor. This role calls for an actor to embrace the poetry of the language and to embody it fully as a kind of music. In telling the story, the Poet plays a range of roles, often one in dialogue with one another. Each must be distinct while flowing seamlessly in and out of the story.
Show 6:
Actors play multiple roles over a three part cycle. Actors should be comfortable with movement and excited about heightened language.
Actor 1 and Actor 2: M, 20-30s, any race
Actor 3: F, 20s-30s, any race
Actor 4: F/NB, 20s-30s, any race
Actor 5: F/NB, teens-20s, any race
Actor 6: M/NB, 30s-50s, any race
Actor 7, Actor 8 and Actor 9: any gender, 20s-60s, any race; good at developing multiple characters
Actor 10: M/NB, 30s-50s, any race; forceful
Actor 11: any gender, 30s-50s, any race; must have an excellent Ronald Reagan impression.
