SEEKING THE FOLLOWING:
JOSEPH PITT:

ONE MAN
TO COVER THE FOLLOWING ROLES (30s)
JOSEPH PITT: (see above description). LOUIS IRONSON: Prior’s Jewish lover. A word processor at a court in Brooklyn. Very intelligent and politically minded, yet flawed and emotionally fragile. He is filled with immense conflict and guilt when he abandons Prior on the onset of his illness. Actor also plays the Angel Australia.
ONE MAN
TO COVER THE ROLE OF PRIOR WALTER
(30s). Louis’s boyfriend who is diagnosed with AIDS at the top of the play. An aesthete from an old WASP family, he is a magnetic presence with tremendous wit and charisma. He is simultaneously deeply vulnerable and sardonic. Actor also plays the Man in the Park.
ONE MAN

(late 20s-30s) African American. A registered nurse and former drag queen, he is Prior’s loyal best friend. Fabulous and stylish with a sharp sense of humor and a no-nonsense attitude. Actor also plays Mr. Lies, the voice of Caleb, and the Angel Oceania.
ONE MAN
TO COVER THE ROLE OF ROY M. COHN
(late 50s-60s) based on the very successful and persuasive New York lawyer. Relentless and menacing in his pursuit of clout, he is a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He vehemently denies his sexuality and diagnosis of AIDS to protect himself from vulnerability. Actor also plays Prior 2 and the Angel Antarctica.
ONE WOMAN
TO COVER THE ROLE OF HARPER PITT
(30s) Joe’s wife, an agoraphobic with a mild Valium addiction. Her crippling fears have alienated her from the world and from her husband, who she knows has demons of his own. She often escapes reality in a series of fascinating and revealing hallucinations. Actress also plays Martin Heller and the Angel Africanii.
ONE WOMAN
TO COVER THE ROLE OF HANNAH PITT
(60s - early 70s) Joe’s opinionated, practically minded mother from Salt Lake City. A devout Mormon, she moves to New York when Joe comes out to her, and her warmth and humanity is revealed when she meets and cares for Prior. Actress also plays Rabbi Isidor Chemelwitz, Henry, Ethel Rosenberg, Aleksii Antedilluvianovich Prelapsarianov, and the Angel Asiatica.
ONE WOMAN
TO COVER THE ROLE OF THE ANGEL
(late 30s - 50s) A divine messenger sent from above to prepare Prior for his mission as a prophet. Terrifying and powerful, she should feel animalistic. Seeking an actress from a physical theatre background with great vocal prowess. Actress also plays Emily, Sister Ella Chapter, A Homeless Woman, the voice of Orrin, and the voice of The Mother.
