Roles we are casting:
1) Charlie Brown's Christmas, casting Charlie Brown. Runs in December 2015.
2) Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward
3) The Fantasticks, show runs in Feb. 2016:
El Gallo - Male, High Baritone,30-45 - As the narrator of the piece, he is the liaison between the
audience and the action
onstage. He is warm, cordial, and inviting to the audience, yet with darker moments. His attitude toward
the rest of the cast reveals a decidedly mysterious side. Above all he is grand and must command
attention.
Matt (Male), Baritone,16-26 - As a young lover, he is deeply in love, particularly with the idea of being in
love. He lacks
experience in the world so, while not stupid, he is naive and perhaps even foolish at times. His image of
a young man in love is one of a gallant protector, meaning that he approaches some decisions with a
falsified bravery that is little more than bravado.
Luisa (Female),Legit Soprano - As a young lover, she is in love. She is in love with love, the idea of love,
the idea of
being in love and indeed everything remotely romantic. Her dreams are more fanciful than those of
Matt. Because of her particular vision of romance, she deals with the world on a particularly naive level.
Hucklebee and Bellomy (Males- or females as mothers!), Baritone 45-60 - Blustery and Boisterous. Duo
and team. Strong comedic timing a must. Fathers of Matt and Luisa. Always arguing and bickering, but
secretly plotting together for the marriage of their children.
Henry and Mortimer (males 30-55) - Foolish comic actors who move the action while not seeming to
contribute anything of
substance. As performers their day has long past. Henry can play grand characters and recite
Shakespeare, but with very little success these days. May be asked to speak in an English accent.
Mortimer's specialty is dying on stage in the manner of great adventures and melodramas. May be
asked to speak in a cockney accent.
Henry and Mortimer function as a unit and rarely appear apart from each other. They are entirely
theatrical and theirs is the world of the stage.
The Mute, (Male or Female,age open) - The Mute serves many functions setting props as characters
need them, assisting El Gallo, and becoming the wall separating the families. While omnipresent the
character must also have the ability to fade into the background. This is a functional character that
sometimes interacts with the others.
