DISNEY’S NEWSIES (LORT B+)
A musical based on the Disney Film written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White
Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Jack Feldman
Book by Harvey Feinstein
Directed by Molly Smith
Choregraphed by Parker Esse
1st rehearsal: 10/1/2019
Runs: 11/1/19 – 12/29/19
In the summer of 1899, the newsboys of New York City took on two of the most powerful men in the country — Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst — and won. Inspired by true events, the Broadway smash hit is a testament to the power of standing up and speaking out.
SEEKING:
JACK: (Teens - early 20s, any ethnicity) The charismatic leader of the Manhattan newsies, is an orphaned dreamer and artist who yearns to get out of the crowded streets of New York and make a better life for himself out West. Fiercely protective of his best friend, Crutchie, and strongly loyal, Jack isn't afraid to use his voice to attain better conditions for the working kids of New York City. Though living on the streets has given him a tough-guy exterior, Jack has a big heart and can demonstrate a sweet vulnerability- especially when it comes to bantering with a certain female reporter. Must have a great pop tenor voice and sense of physicality.
CRUTCHIE: (Teens – early 20s, any ethnicity) is a dedicated newsie with a bum leg that's painful, but helps sell more papers. Though he walks with the assistance of a crutch, Crutchie doesn't let it define him; when in a jam, Jack Kelly's best friend relies on a goofy-sweet sense of humor and optimistic resilience. Crutchie is the heart of the resistance.
DAVEY: (Teens – early 20s, any ethnicity), Les’s straight-laced, bright big brother starts selling newspapers to help his family earn a living, but becomes swept up in the fervor of the strike. A leader in his own right who is learning to use his voice to uplift others, Davey is the brains of the resistance.
LES: (8-14, any ethnicity) Davey's cheeky younger brother, is inspired by the freedom of the newsies and loves their independent lifestyle. A precocious and natural newsie, Les is an intuitive sales boy and a pint-sized charmer.
NUN/ MEDDA LARKIN: (30s -50s, any ethnicity) Inspired by the vaudeville performer Aida Overton Walker, this big-voiced saloon singer and star of the Bowery offers her theater as a safe haven for the newsies. An astute entertainer with great comic delivery, she's a good friend to Jack and stands firmly behind the newsies in their fight for justice.

CELIA & FIDEL (LORT C)
By Eduardo Machado
Directed by Molly Smith
1st rehearsal: 1/28/2020
Runs: 2/28/2020 – 4/12/2020
Can one woman change the mind of a man and the fate of a nation? Fidel Castro’s most trusted confidant and political partner, Celia Sanchez is never far from his side as he grapples with how to move his country forward. It’s 1980 and a failing economy has led 10,000 Cuban citizens to seek asylum at the Peruvian Embassy in Cuba. Castro must decide what kind of leader he wants to be, merciful or mighty. Imbued with magical realism, Arena Stage’s seventh Power Play imagines a conversation between Cuba’s most influential female revolutionary and its most notorious political leader in a contest between morality and power.
SEEKING:
FIDEL CASTRO: (50s, Cuban) The leader of the Cuban revolution; charismatic and bright. Intolerant of anyone who gets in his way.
CELIA SANCHEZ: (60s, Cuban) Thin, intellectual, demanding. Organized the revolution with Fidel, fought in the Sierra Maestra with him.
MANOLO RUIZ: (50s, Cuban) Fought in the revolution with Fidel and Celia. He left Cuba in the early sixties when he became disillusioned with Fidel. He has been sent back repeatedly by Jimmy Carter to try to figure out a way to end the embargo. He always thinks things through and tries to be fair.
CONSUELO: (late 20s – early 30s, Cuban) Fidel's protégée. Gutsy and opinionated.

SEEKING:

RED CARTER: (20s-30s, African American) Floyd’s friend and drummer, superstitious, simpler, steadier, from Alabama, likes to have a good time, but is in the middle of 7 years bad luck because he broke a mirror.

Running: April 14 – May 31, 2020
SEEKING:
[DELLA]: late 40s-late 50s. North Carolinian, born and raised. A religious and socially conservative woman. Warm, genuine, caring; she has a maternal instinct despite the fact that she has no children of her own. An old friend of Jen’s family. Married to Tim. She sees herself as openminded, but her life hasn’t brought her into contact with many people who challenge the world-view she grew up with. A prolific and enthusiastic baker, she has been chosen as a contestant for The Great American Baking Show.
[TIM]: late 40s-60. Della’s husband. A good southern boy. He’s a plumber with a great work ethic, who takes pride in providing for his household.

An experienced event planner with a compulsive attention to detail. Considerate, kind, and enthusiastic, she wants to see the best in people, though she doesn’t always see it in herself. Her traditional upbringing is often at odds with her newfound liberal lifestyle, and planning her lesbian wedding in her hometown brings that tension to a crisis point.
[MACY]: early 30s. Born and raised in New York. Progressive, sharp, outspoken. Very confident in her belief system, and she doesn’t hesitate to challenge those who think differently. Innately curious and inquisitive. She has a deep love for Jen, although she is impatient with Jen’s willingness to make allowances for her conservative southern friends and family. She is who she is, and she won’t make compromises to coddle people’s feelings.
