Breakdown
KISS
by Guillermo Calderon

1st Rehearsal: September 19, 2016
1st Performance: October 10, 2016
Close: November 6, 2016
For this production, the director is looking for strong ensemble actors. Each actor will be required to play multiple roles and should be prepared to be challenged both vocally and physically. The script calls for a high style approach, similar to a soap opera. This process will be compressed and therefore the actor should be able to take adjustments and script changes quickly. Woolly encourages ethnically diverse actors to audition.

Ahmed/Martin- 20-30's, male

BABY SCREAMS MIRACLE

Directed by Howard Shalwitz
1st Rehearsal: January 3, 2017
1st Performance: January 30, 2017
Close: February 26, 2017
Seeking:
Kayden
5 years old; The daughter of Carol and Gabriel, she is a very average 5 year old. Not precocious. Somewhat shy and anxious, and really into imagination and make believe. She understands more than she can express.
Gabriel
early-mid 40s; Husband of Carol, father of Cynthia and Kayden. He is likeable, well-intentioned and enthusiastic, and in general takes things at face value. Still somewhat has the puppyish energy of a high school boyfriend. He manages the local FedEx and is deeply committed to evangelical Christianity.
Carol
early-mid 40s; Wife of Gabriel, mother of Cynthia and Kayden. She has a lot of anger even if it doesn't come out, and is self-diagnosed with depression but doesn't attend therapy. She thinks she is probably the smartest person the room. She often uses prayer as a source of comfort and a release valve for her emotions. She works in insurance.
Cynthia
mid-20s;Daughter of Carol and Gabriel. Her parents were teenagers when they had her, so she was mostly raised by her grandmother Barbara. Works in IT and loves fixing people's computer problems. Feels like she is self-made because she graduated early from high school and paid for college herself. She's tough, but pretty sensitive. Doesn't like to be vulnerable, and her sense of humor could use some work. It's sometimes a little hard to know what's going on with her.
Barbara
60s; Carol's mother. Now retired, she used to be the receptionist at Les Schwab Tire Center and was beloved by everyone. Tough lady, very cheerful, doesn't believe in complaining. Has a creative spirit and a whimsical streak within all her toughness and practical mindset. A caring mother and devoted member of the church.

HIR
by Taylor Mac
Directed by Shana Cooper
1st Rehearsal: April 25, 2017
1st Performance: May 22, 2017
Close: June 18, 2017
Possible Ext Through: June 25, 2017
Seeking
Isaac Connor:
24. Cisgender son of Paige and Arnold. Brother to Max. Isaac's main actions are to assess the situation, assert himself, convert, and keep things under control. The play is, for Isaac, one long attempt at squashing down a major PTSD explosion. At times he is more successful (meaning he can almost relax) than others and he uses different tactics (including the slightly more fun action of teasing) but ultimately fails. There should be peeks and valleys but a slow burn is what's been crafted into the play.
Paige Connor:
55. Cisgender mother to Max and Isaac. Wife to Arnold. Main actions are to entertain, excite (with new information she's discovered), and tear apart the old regimes.
Max Connor:
17. Transgender child of Paige and Arnold. Sibling to Isaac. Main actions are to excite (with new information ze's discovered), ward off attacks, showboat, raise hir status on the family totem pole and stake hir intellectual territory. Max is played by someone who was a biological female and now identifies as transgender or gender-queer.
Arnold Connor:
58. Cisgender father to Isaac and Max and husband to Paige. Main actions are those of an old dog: eat, sleep and be comfortable. Arnold was an angry man but has had a stroke, which turned him into more of a clown. Rather like a slower/older Harpo. When he feels something, he feels it with no censors. He can easily switch from complete joy to complete sorrow and back again, in a heartbeat.
