ANDREW LIPPA'S WILD PARTY
Book, Music & Lyrics Andrew Lippa
Based on the poem by Joseph Moncure March
Directed by Lily McGill
Music Direction by Terry Bowman
Choreography by Natalie Baily Smith
ABOUT THE SHOW
A steamy prohibition tale, steamrolling, and roaring its way across the stage, Andrew Lippa’s Wild Party was an Off-Broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March’s 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written. Lovers, Queenie and Burrs, decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the colorful arrival of a slew of guests living life on the edge, Queenie’s wandering eyes land on a striking man named Black. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs’ jealousy, which erupts and sends him into a violent rage. Gun in hand and inhibitions abandoned, Burrs turns on Queenie and Black. The gun gets fired, but who’s been shot?
THE WILD PARTY is Rated R for sexual violence, strong language, sexual situations, and drug use. |

ABOUT THE SHOW
In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.” Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock-n-roll sci-fi gothic musical is more fun than ever.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
On the night of his mother’s funeral, low-born Englishman Monty Navarro learns a fantastic family secret: he is the “son of the daughter of the grandson of nephew of the second Earl of Highhurst.” In other words, Monty Navarro is actually an aristocrat, if he can only find a way to prevent the eight earls in line before him from inheriting the earldom first. Driven by love for two different women, the sultry and self-centered Sibella and the pious and witty Phoebe, Monty sets out to become the sole heir or the earldom. As for the D’Ysuith family? A scene-stealing role for one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs who meet their ends in the most creative and side-splitting ways. A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder is a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs, and unmatched wit. Gentleman’s Guide combines the best of the past with a contemporary sensibility and humor that earned it the 2014 Tony Award for Best Musical. With unforgettable characters, stunning tech, and a classic yet revitalized farcical nature A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder has become an instant classic, and will have you dying with laughter!

Fear stokes dangerous fires ...
Arthur Miller’s THE CRUCIBLE revolves around a young farmer, John Proctor, his wife, Elizabeth, and a young servant girl, Abigail, who maliciously causes Elizabeth’s arrest for witchcraft. John brings Abigail to court to admit the lie – and it is here that the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. John, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned with a host of others. Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play, this exciting drama, based on the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem, is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society.

**Please note that TBR is interested in an ethnically diverse cast of all ages and backgrounds.**
Ebenezer Scrooge - The miserly owner of a London counting-house, a nineteenth century term for an accountant's office. The three spirits of Christmas visit the stodgy bean-counter in hopes of reversing Scrooge's greedy, cold-hearted approach to life.
Bob Cratchit - Scrooge's clerk, a kind, mild, and very poor man with a large family. Though treated harshly by his boss, Cratchit remains a humble and dedicated employee.
Tiny Tim - Bob Cratchit's young son, crippled from birth.
Jacob Marley - In the living world, Ebenezer Scrooge's equally greedy partner. Marley died seven years before the narrative opens. He appears to Scrooge as a ghost condemned to wander the world bound in heavy chains. Marley hopes to save his old partner from suffering a similar fate.
The Ghost Of Christmas Past - The first spirit to visit Scrooge - takes Scrooge on a tour of Christmases in his past.
The Ghost Of Christmas Present - The second spirit to visit Scrooge, a majestic giant clad in a green robe who escorts Scrooge on a tour of his current Christmas celebrations.
The Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come - The third and final spirit to visit Scrooge, a silent phantom clad in a hooded black robe who presents Scrooge with an ominous view of his lonely death.
Fred - Scrooge's nephew, a genial man who loves Christmas. He invites Scrooge to his Christmas party each and every year, only to be refused by his grumpy uncle.
Mr. Fezziwig - The jovial merchant with whom the young Scrooge apprenticed. Fezziwig was renowned for his wonderful Christmas parties with his wife (Mrs. Fezziwig) and children.
Belle - A beautiful woman who Scrooge loved deeply when he was a young man. Belle broke off their engagement after Scrooge became consumed with greed and the lust for wealth. She later married another man.
Martha Cratchit - Bob's oldest daughter, who works in a milliner's shop. (A milliner is a person who designs, produces, and sells hats.)
Fan - Scrooge's sister; Fred's mother.
Boy Scrooge – Scrooge as a child
Young Scrooge – Scrooge as a young man.
Mrs. Cratchit – Bob Cratchit's wife and the mother of the Cratchit children. She does not think highly of Ebenezer Scrooge and is frankly vocal about her opinion.
Peter, Belinda, Gillian, Miranda Cratchit – various ages
Business Men – various version of men who cross paths with Scrooge throughout his lifetime and in visions of his future.
Old Joe – A thief who buys the belongings of the deceased Ebenezer Scrooge from a trio of Hags who previously worked for Scrooge.
Hags - Laundress, Undertakers Wife and Charwoman – steal items from Mr. Scrooge’s home once he has died
Chorus – we are looking for a diverse chorus (SATB) to provide music throughout the production. Chorus members are able to double as other roles when possible.

Fear stokes dangerous fires ...
Arthur Miller’s THE CRUCIBLE revolves around a young farmer, John Proctor, his wife, Elizabeth, and a young servant girl, Abigail, who maliciously causes Elizabeth’s arrest for witchcraft. John brings Abigail to court to admit the lie – and it is here that the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. John, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned with a host of others. Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play, this exciting drama, based on the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem, is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society.
THE CRUCIBLE is sponsored by Elifin Realty |

One fateful night, Brad Majors and Janet Weiss — a wholesome, well-behaved, utterly normal young couple in love — innocently set out to visit an old professor. Unfortunately, the night out is destined to be one they will never forget, when a thunderstorm and a flat tire lead them to the castle of Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter, an alien, transvestite scientist with a manic genius and insatiable libido.
A loving homage to the cult-classic, sci-fi film and horror genres with an irresistible rock ‘n’ roll score, this is a hilarious, wild ride that Baton Rouge will not soon forget!
Audience participation is encouraged, and patrons are invited to dress up in their favorite Rocky Horror attire. Bags of props will also be available for $5 in the lobby one hour prior to performances. Outside props will not be permitted, as they may damage the theatre or injure actors and/or audience members.
Rocky Horror is Rated R for language and adult themes. |

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is the knock-’em-dead, uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 Broadway season. With ten Tony nominations and four wins, including Best Musical, Book, Direction, and Costumes, it also earned seven Drama Desk Awards (including Best Musical), four Outer Critics Circle Awards (including Best Musical), and one Drama League Award (Best Musical).
When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he’s eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D’Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn’t the only thing on Monty’s mind!
A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs and a scene-stealing role for one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs who meet their ends in the most creative and side-splitting ways.
#TBRsGuideToLoveAndMurder runs November 1 - 17, 2019 |

TBR's Young Actors Program presents ROMEO and JULIET.
In this adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy, we follow the love story of the star-crossed and ill fated lovers as they try to defy the odds of the long-standing feud between their families. The families are reconciled only by the deaths of their children. The story of these lovers is one of Shakespeare’s most performed plays.
“For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
Our Young Actors Program was developed to teach, create and nurture the artistic development of young actors ages seven to 18 through performance opportunities of the highest quality. This program is designed to enhance life-long skills and a love of theatre for the audiences of tomorrow. |

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is the knock-’em-dead, uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 Broadway season. With ten Tony nominations and four wins, including Best Musical, Book, Direction, and Costumes, it also earned seven Drama Desk Awards (including Best Musical), four Outer Critics Circle Awards (including Best Musical), and one Drama League Award (Best Musical).
When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he’s eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D’Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn’t the only thing on Monty’s mind!
A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs and a scene-stealing role for one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs who meet their ends in the most creative and side-splitting ways.
#TBRsGuideToLoveAndMurder runs November 1 - 17, 2019 |

Theatre Baton Rouge |

December 15, 2019 |
7:00 PM |
10:00 PM |
Directed by Jason Breaux
Assistant Director: Andrew Vessel
Stage Manager: Elizabeth Jolly
Auditions will consist of cold readings, to be provided at auditions. Please call the box office to sign up - 225.924.6496
Auditions are Sunday December 15th at 7 PM. If needed, callbacks will be Monday, December 16th.
Performance dates are February 28 - March 15, 2020
Rehearsals will begin early January 2020
ABOUT THE SHOW:
A tribute to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, The Fox On The Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy, and a charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man’s eternal love affair with… golf.
CHARACTER NEEDS:
HENRY BINGHAM ( 40s): Director of the Quail Valley Country Club. He is witty and cynical at times. He gets into a high-stakes bet on a golf tournament and is determined to do what it takes to win. He is unhappily married to Muriel, and smitten with Pam. Determined to do whatever it takes to win his bet with Dickie.
PAMELA PEABODY (30's): Vice President of the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive and sophisticated, but a bit of a drinker. Throughout the play she aids Bingham in his plans to make sure their club wins. Dickie's ex-wife.
JUSTIN HICKS (early 20's): Bingham’s new eager-to-please assistant who volunteers his services as a golfer to help Quail Valley win the golf tournament. He is romantically involved with Louise and proposes to her early on, but becomes emotionally distraught when things become difficult between them. An offbeat, sweet, anxious bundle of nerves with messy hair.
LOUISE HEINDBEDDER (early 20's): A waitress at the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive, and a bit ditzy, but studious. She gets engaged to Justin early on, but a mishap results in her becoming very upset over their future together, making her bawl at a moment’s notice.
DICKIE BELL ( 40s): The director of the rival Crouching Squirrel Country Club, with whom Bingham gets into a high-stakes bet. He is a bit obnoxious, including his fashion sense, but tries to come off as good-natured. He is Pamela’s ex and has a thing for Bingham’s wife Muriel.
MURIEL BINGHAM (40s): Bingham’s wife who runs an antique shop, which becomes part of the bet between Henry and Dickie. A sturdy woman who is generally overbearing and stern. She somehow has a soft spot for Dickie.
Theatre Baton Rouge is excited to work with actors of all races, ages, abilities and backgrounds. Please call our box office at 225.924.6496 to sign up today!

Now, there’s a knock on that same door. Nora has returned. But why? And what will it mean for those she left behind?

Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. It received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and won a bevy of awards, including Tony Awards, Drama Desks, and Oliviers. Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

AN ACT OF GOD
Written by David Javerbaum
Directed by Clay Donaldson
Assistant Directed by Rebecca Smith
Stage Managed by Emily Muller
Starring Ren Price, Dalton Major, & Jonathan Thomas
Rated R
ABOUT THE SHOW:
The One with the first and last word on everything has finally arrived to set the record straight. After many millennia, and in just 90 minutes, God (assisted by His devoted angels) answers some of the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since Creation. In the world according to Javerbaum, life is anything but heaven on earth. Millions of people call upon God in prayer every day, begging him for things they will never receive. Or they try to understand what God is attempting to say through his fires, floods, and hurricanes. Or else they call his name while practicing unspeakable acts. No wonder God is in a bad mood much of the time. Flanked by his angels Gabriel and Michael, God makes it clear that he is the Real Deal, the one who speaks through burning bushes and whirlwinds, the one who delivered the original Ten Commandments. But he's tired of those Commandments and has decided to rewrite them to be more compatible with the present day. AN ACT OF GOD is a hilarious, irreverent 90-minute play that will leave you wanting more!

Theatre Baton Rouge |
June 18, 2021 |
June 18, 2021 |
7:30 PM |
9:30 PM |
Reset in the 1980s, this timeless Shakespeare comedy classic of mistaken identities will be done as an homage to the John Hughes movies of the 1980s.
Deciding to escape her previous school, Viola disguises herself as a boy named Cesario and transfers to Illyria where she soon becomes friends with, and falls in love with, the popular "Duke" Orsino.
Alas, Orsino is in love with Olivia and sends Cesario out to help him "woo" her. Olivia, however, very quickly falls in love with Cesario not realizing that Cesario is female.
Meanwhile, Olivia's best friend Maria is in love with Toby - but he seems more interested in partying, so she schemes a plot to show off her wits to Toby and comes up with an idea to fool fellow classmate, Malvolio, into believing that Olivia is in love with him.
With these machinations and alter indentities in place, comic misunderstandings abound as the students try to move around the love minefield they have created for themselves and all try to get their happily ever after.......or at least a date to the prom.
Join TBR's Young Actors program for their first full Shakespeare production to be produced on the main stage!
Rated PG.

A show based off of a movie, based off of the classic board game!
You played the game, you loved the movie, now come see the show.
All of them are being blackmailed. All of them have a reason for wanting Mr. Boddy dead. But who actually did the deed?
Come enjoy this campy, hilarious romp and try to figure out if it was Ms. White in the Study with the Revolver or Colonel Mustard in the Kitchen with the Chef's knife.

Theatre Baton Rouge |
September 24, 2021 |
September 24, 2021 |
7:30 PM |
2:00 PM |
Based on the Book by J.R.R. Tolkien
Written by Edward Mast
Directed by Jason Breaux
Stage Managed by Elizabeth Jolly
In the Studio Theatre
Our Young Actors Program is sponsored by John Turner & Jerry Fischer
This one-hour version of Tolkien's classic novel, designed for small theaters or large, is a suspenseful, fast-moving journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth. Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories. Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea. So when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo's door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged looking dwarfs, and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo could not be less interested—at first. But Bilbo's love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.
Due to Hurricane Ida, the performance dates for the Young Actors Program’s production of THE HOBBIT have moved!
The new dates are Sept. 24 - Oct. 3.
Tickets are ON SALE and going quickly! Seating is limited. Get your tickets today!

Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden) and it took the world by storm.
Led by the international hit "Day by Day", Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord", Learn Your Lessons Well", "All for the Best", "All Good Gifts", Turn Back, O Man", and "By My Side".
A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, story telling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in stye from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage.
Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life.

Seussical the Musical
Book by: Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty
Music by: Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Based on the works of Dr. Seuss
Directed by Jack Lampert & Caty Steward
Music Director: Beth Bordelon
Choreographer: Hope Carline
Stage Manager: Jessica Wilson
February 3-6, 2022 on TBR's Main Stage
Rated G
Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
Seussical is fun for the whole family!
February 6th is SOLD OUT, but there are limited tickets available for February 3-5. TheatreBR.org/tickets. |

ABOUT THE SHOW
Sweet Charity explores the turbulent love life of the unflappable Charity Hope Valentine, a hopelessly romantic but comically unfortunate dance hall hostess in 1960’s New York City. With a tuneful, groovy score by Cy Coleman, sparkling lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and a hilarious book by Neil Simon, Sweet Charity captures all the energy, humor, and heartbreak of life in the big city for an unfortunate but irrepressible optimist trying to find her dream and make something of herself. This brassy score includes such hits as Big Spender, Baby, Dream Your Dream, The Rhythm of Life, and the energetic If My Friends Could See Me Now.

Rated G
Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
Seussical is fun for the whole family!

ABOUT THE SHOW
Sweet Charity explores the turbulent love life of the unflappable Charity Hope Valentine, a hopelessly romantic but comically unfortunate dance hall hostess in 1960’s New York City. With a tuneful, groovy score by Cy Coleman, sparkling lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and a hilarious book by Neil Simon, Sweet Charity captures all the energy, humor, and heartbreak of life in the big city for an unfortunate but irrepressible optimist trying to find her dream and make something of herself. This brassy score includes such hits as Big Spender, Baby, Dream Your Dream, The Rhythm of Life, and the energetic If My Friends Could See Me Now.
CASTING BREAKDOWN

ABOUT THE SHOW
It's 1927 and Ma Rainey, the "Mother of the Blues," is recording new sides of old favorites in a rundown studio in Chicago. Fiery and determined, Ma Rainey fights to retain control over her music, while her cocky trumpet player Levee dreams of making his own name in the business. More than music goes down in August Wilson's riveting portrayal of rage, racism, self-hatred and exploitation.
CASTING BREAKDOWN – 2 females, 8 males
MA RAINEY
50s-60s, African American
Based on the real life Gertrude “Ma” Rainey, a popular blues singer from the 1920s. She is portrayed as a very particular, rather difficult artist, who has to have things her way. She knows that her white associates are only interested in her because she makes them money, and she uses this truth to get what she wants. She hates it when people question her authority, and she and Levee butt heads when he talks back to her and tries to have artistic control over her record.
LEVEE
30s, African American
The trumpet player in Ma Rainey’s band. He is in his early thirties, the youngest in the band. He is immature and arrogant. He knows he is talented and he has plans to start his own band, believing himself to be too good to be playing in Ma Rainey’s. This causes tension between him and the rest of the members, especially Cutler, and eventually between him and Ma.
CUTLER
50s, African American
Cutler is the trombone and guitar player in Ma Rainey’s band. He is a veteran musician and the head of the instrumentalists. He has been working with Ma for a long time and understands that Ma is in charge. He likes to just do what she says and get the job done. He butts heads with Levee when Levee tries to make decisions that aren’t in his power to make. "All the qualities of a loner except the introspection" (Wilson’s description). He is the most sensible of the band members and is a very solid, old-school musician.
TOLEDO
60s-70s, African American
The piano player in Ma Rainey’s band. He often philosophizes and tries to educate the other members of the band on the black experience. Like Cutler, he gets frustrated with Levee and in the end, is stabbed in the back.
SLOW DRAG
50s, African American
The bass player in Ma Rainey’s band. He got his name by slow dancing for hours to win a contest. He is a veteran musician and has worked with Cutler for over 20 years. He isn’t interested in being here all night, he just wants to get the job done and go home.
MEL STURDYVANT
Male, 40s-50s, Caucasian
The white owner of the Chicago recording studio where Ma Rainey is recording. He is a man who is obsessed with making money. He is incredibly frustrated with Ma’s bad behavior and uncompromising attitude, but he puts up with her on the urging of her manager, Irvin and also because he knows he can make money off her music.
IRVIN
40s-50s, Caucasian
Ma Rainey’s manager and Sturdyvant’s partner in this business venture. He is one of the only level headed people around and is continually trying to keep the peace between Ma and Sturdyvant, as well as between the volatile band members. He really wants to get through this day and just get the record made before anything too dramatic happens.
DUSSIE MAE
Female, 20s-30s, African American
Ma Rainey’s lover. She is a very ambitious, attractive girl, who uses people to get ahead. She thinks Ma can help her, and she even flirts with Levee, telling him that she will give him a chance once he has something to offer. She is shameless in her desires and dreams.
SYLVESTER BROWN
Male, early 20s, African American
Ma Rainey’s nephew, and the only one she shows real affection for. He has a terrible stutter, and when Ma Rainey insists that he does the introduction on the “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” record, this causes tension between the band, Ma, Sturdyvant and Irvin. He is surprisingly outspoken for someone with such a bad speech impediment.
POLICEMAN
Male, 30-40s, Caucasian
The Policeman enters with Ma Rainey and tells Irvin that Ma Rainey has been charged with assault and battery after having allegedly assaulted a cab driver that refused to drive them to the studio. He isn’t convinced that Ma is as famous as she says she is, and has to make sure that someone is responsible for them before he clears up the issue. He also reveals that Sylvester wrecked Ma’s car.

About the Show
Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.
"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek. Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.

It's 1927 and Ma Rainey, the "Mother of the Blues," is recording new sides of old favorites in a rundown studio in Chicago. Fiery and determined, Ma Rainey fights to retain control over her music, while her cocky trumpet player Levee dreams of making his own name in the business. More than music goes down in August Wilson's riveting portrayal of rage, racism, self-hatred and exploitation.
CASTING BREAKDOWN – 2 females, 8 males
MA RAINEY
50s-60s, African American
Based on the real life Gertrude “Ma” Rainey, a popular blues singer from the 1920s. She is portrayed as a very particular, rather difficult artist, who has to have things her way. She knows that her white associates are only interested in her because she makes them money, and she uses this truth to get what she wants. She hates it when people question her authority, and she and Levee butt heads when he talks back to her and tries to have artistic control over her record.
LEVEE
30s, African American
The trumpet player in Ma Rainey’s band. He is in his early thirties, the youngest in the band. He is immature and arrogant. He knows he is talented and he has plans to start his own band, believing himself to be too good to be playing in Ma Rainey’s. This causes tension between him and the rest of the members, especially Cutler, and eventually between him and Ma.
CUTLER
50s, African American
Cutler is the trombone and guitar player in Ma Rainey’s band. He is a veteran musician and the head of the instrumentalists. He has been working with Ma for a long time and understands that Ma is in charge. He likes to just do what she says and get the job done. He butts heads with Levee when Levee tries to make decisions that aren’t in his power to make. "All the qualities of a loner except the introspection" (Wilson’s description). He is the most sensible of the band members and is a very solid, old-school musician.
TOLEDO
60s-70s, African American
The piano player in Ma Rainey’s band. He often philosophizes and tries to educate the other members of the band on the black experience. Like Cutler, he gets frustrated with Levee and in the end, is stabbed in the back.
SLOW DRAG
50s, African American
The bass player in Ma Rainey’s band. He got his name by slow dancing for hours to win a contest. He is a veteran musician and has worked with Cutler for over 20 years. He isn’t interested in being here all night, he just wants to get the job done and go home.
MEL STURDYVANT
Male, 40s-50s, Caucasian
The white owner of the Chicago recording studio where Ma Rainey is recording. He is a man who is obsessed with making money. He is incredibly frustrated with Ma’s bad behavior and uncompromising attitude, but he puts up with her on the urging of her manager, Irvin and also because he knows he can make money off her music.
IRVIN
40s-50s, Caucasian
Ma Rainey’s manager and Sturdyvant’s partner in this business venture. He is one of the only level headed people around and is continually trying to keep the peace between Ma and Sturdyvant, as well as between the volatile band members. He really wants to get through this day and just get the record made before anything too dramatic happens.
DUSSIE MAE
Female, 20s-30s, African American
Ma Rainey’s lover. She is a very ambitious, attractive girl, who uses people to get ahead. She thinks Ma can help her, and she even flirts with Levee, telling him that she will give him a chance once he has something to offer. She is shameless in her desires and dreams.
SYLVESTER BROWN
Male, early 20s, African American
Ma Rainey’s nephew, and the only one she shows real affection for. He has a terrible stutter, and when Ma Rainey insists that he does the introduction on the “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” record, this causes tension between the band, Ma, Sturdyvant and Irvin. He is surprisingly outspoken for someone with such a bad speech impediment.
POLICEMAN
Male, 30-40s, Caucasian
The Policeman enters with Ma Rainey and tells Irvin that Ma Rainey has been charged with assault and battery after having allegedly assaulted a cab driver that refused to drive them to the studio. He isn’t convinced that Ma is as famous as she says she is, and has to make sure that someone is responsible for them before he clears up the issue. He also reveals that Sylvester wrecked Ma’s car.

About the Show
Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.
"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek. Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.

SHREK: The Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animated film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.
"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...."
And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.
Shrek presents a treasure trove of creative opportunities, including costumes, sets, puppets (there is a fire-breathing dragon after all) and more! Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.

ABOUT THE SHOW
A CHRISTMAS CAROL is sponsored by BASF, Manda Meats, Mercedes Benz, Luba Workers Comp, and Elifin Realty.
This holiday tradition continues at TBR with the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. Capture the magic and joy of the Christmas season as the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future lead miserly Ebenezer Scrooge on a powerful journey of transformation and redemption. TBR's production celebrates the timeless spirit of Christmas and is a beloved holiday treat for the whole family!
CAST NEEDS
NOTE: We are very interested in working with a truly diverse cast - please come as you are and do not be deterred by A Christmas Carol stereotypes.
Charles Dickens - Male, 60+ (looking at all ages - can age up with make-up.) Narrator throughout the show.
Ebenezer Scrooge - Male, 50+ (looking at all ages - can age up with make-up.) Greedy, crotchety miserly man through most of the show who is taught the true meaning of Christmas and becomes a kinder, happier human being.
Bob Cratchit - Male, mid 30s on up. Kind affable man who deeply loves his family, is loyal to Scrooge and who knows what the true important things in life are.
Fred - Male, 20s-40s - Scrooge's nephew. A sweet, kind man who loves Christmas. He is the son of Scrooge's beloved sister Fan. Scrooge is his last remaining relative and he loves him as the last living reminder of his mother. He genuinely believes Scrooge is not as bad as everyone else in London believes.
Ghost Marley - Male, 50+ (looking at all ages, can age up with make-up) Scrooge's partner who died seven years before the beginning of the play. He is cursed to roam the world, seeing the plights and miseries of man and being unable to do anything about them because he is a cursed ghost. He takes pity on Scrooge and does not want him to share his fate, so he arranges for Scrooge to have his experiences with the three spirits.
Spirit of Christmas Past - Any Gender, Any Age. A magical being who is part of nature and can travel back through time. They show Scrooge the Christmases of his past.
Spirit of Christmas Present - Any Gender, Any Age - A magical being who is the physical embodiment of Christmas. Mostly jovial, and happy, this character has moments of deep sadness and anger when witnessing the ignorant, thoughtless cruelty of humans to one another.
Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come - Any Gender, Any Age - need to be strong and fit - A magical being can travel through to the future. For this role the performer will be required to be in a "Grim Reaper" type costume that can get heavy. Performer needs to be physically capable of wearing this costume.
Carolers - Any Gender, Any Age - need a soprano, tenor, alto and bass. They will be singing, in harmony during certain parts of the show. These carolers can be other roles if they so desire OR they can only choose to be the singing role.
Gentleman 1 and Gentleman 2 - Any Gender, Any Age. These two come to Scrooge's office to collect donations to help the poor. They are kind hearted and are not used to dealing with people of Scrooge's nature. Scrooge's opinions at the beginning of the play genuinely appall them.
Street Urchin - Any Gender, ages 6-13. A homeless orphan who tries to "sing for their supper" to Scrooge but is chased away. This character is street smart and slightly snarky when not trying to appear sweet to get money.
Stall Keeper - Male, Any Age - Owner of a stall on the streets of London who has borrowed money from Scrooge and cannot pay it back by the deadline. He is good man who is trying to take care of his family, but Scrooge and what he can do to his family truly terrifies him.
Caroline - Female, Any Age - Wife of the stall keeper. She helps her husband with his business. She is genuinely afraid of what will happen to her and her family because of Scrooge and his unwillingness to bend or compromise.
Caroline's Child - Female preferred, but can be any gender, ages 6-10. Caroline's child. They have an intuitive feel of Scrooge. They are scared of him in the beginning of the show, even though they are brave enough to stand up to him a little - but they realize, before the adults, when Scrooge becomes a changed man at the end of the play.
Charwoman - Female, Any Age - She works for Scrooge as his part-time help. She is feisty and snarky and is one of the few people who is not afraid of Scrooge and will speak back to him. Good comedic timing is a strong plus for the performer of this role.
Youngest Scrooge - Male, 6-11. Scrooge as a child.
Boy 1 and Boy 2 - Male 6-11 - School Mates of Youngest Scrooge.
Younger Scrooge - Male, 12-16 Scrooge as a pre-teen/teenager.
Young Scrooge - Male 18-35 years Scrooge as a young man. This role transitions -- he starts as naïve, awkward and slightly sweet and in the next scene his is starting to become the old Scrooge we are more familiar with.
Belle - Female, 18-35 years. Scrooge's Fiance. She is fun and deeply loves Scrooge. Unbeknownst to Young Scrooge, she anchors him to his humanity and feelings. Once she is gone, he completely shuts himself off from his emotions. She is related to the Fezziwigs and this is how she knows Scrooge.
Fan - Female, 10-15 years - Scrooge's younger sister, future mother of Fred. The favored child of the family -- but her favorite family member is Scrooge. She loves Scrooge deeply and is loved deeply by him. |

Ebenezer Scrooge - Male, 50+ (looking at all ages - can age up with make-up.) Greedy, crotchety miserly man through most of the show who is taught the true meaning of Christmas and becomes a kinder, happier human being.
Bob Cratchit - Male, mid 30s on up. Kind affable man who deeply loves his family, is loyal to Scrooge and who knows what the true important things in life are.
Fred - Male, 20s-40s - Scrooge's nephew. A sweet, kind man who loves Christmas. He is the son of Scrooge's beloved sister Fan. Scrooge is his last remaining relative and he loves him as the last living reminder of his mother. He genuinely believes Scrooge is not as bad as everyone else in London believes.
Ghost Marley - Male, 50+ (looking at all ages, can age up with make-up) Scrooge's partner who died seven years before the beginning of the play. He is cursed to roam the world, seeing the plights and miseries of man and being unable to do anything about them because he is a cursed ghost. He takes pity on Scrooge and does not want him to share his fate, so he arranges for Scrooge to have his experiences with the three spirits.
Spirit of Christmas Past - Any Gender, Any Age. A magical being who is part of nature and can travel back through time. They show Scrooge the Christmases of his past.
Spirit of Christmas Present - Any Gender, Any Age - A magical being who is the physical embodiment of Christmas. Mostly jovial, and happy, this character has moments of deep sadness and anger when witnessing the ignorant, thoughtless cruelty of humans to one another.
Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come - Any Gender, Any Age - need to be strong and fit - A magical being can travel through to the future. For this role the performer will be required to be in a "Grim Reaper" type costume that can get heavy. Performer needs to be physically capable of wearing this costume.
Carolers - Any Gender, Any Age - need a soprano, tenor, alto and bass. They will be singing, in harmony during certain parts of the show. These carolers can be other roles if they so desire OR they can only choose to be the singing role.
Gentleman 1 and Gentleman 2 - Any Gender, Any Age. These two come to Scrooge's office to collect donations to help the poor. They are kind hearted and are not used to dealing with people of Scrooge's nature. Scrooge's opinions at the beginning of the play genuinely appall them.
Street Urchin - Any Gender, ages 6-13. A homeless orphan who tries to "sing for their supper" to Scrooge but is chased away. This character is street smart and slightly snarky when not trying to appear sweet to get money.
Stall Keeper - Male, Any Age - Owner of a stall on the streets of London who has borrowed money from Scrooge and cannot pay it back by the deadline. He is good man who is trying to take care of his family, but Scrooge and what he can do to his family truly terrifies him.
Caroline - Female, Any Age - Wife of the stall keeper. She helps her husband with his business. She is genuinely afraid of what will happen to her and her family because of Scrooge and his unwillingness to bend or compromise.
Caroline's Child - Female preferred, but can be any gender, ages 6-10. Caroline's child. They have an intuitive feel of Scrooge. They are scared of him in the beginning of the show, even though they are brave enough to stand up to him a little - but they realize, before the adults, when Scrooge becomes a changed man at the end of the play.
Charwoman - Female, Any Age - She works for Scrooge as his part-time help. She is feisty and snarky and is one of the few people who is not afraid of Scrooge and will speak back to him. Good comedic timing is a strong plus for the performer of this role.
Youngest Scrooge - Male, 6-11. Scrooge as a child.
Boy 1 and Boy 2 - Male 6-11 - School Mates of Youngest Scrooge.
Younger Scrooge - Male, 12-16 Scrooge as a pre-teen/teenager.
Young Scrooge - Male 18-35 years Scrooge as a young man. This role transitions -- he starts as naïve, awkward and slightly sweet and in the next scene his is starting to become the old Scrooge we are more familiar with.
Belle - Female, 18-35 years. Scrooge's Fiance. She is fun and deeply loves Scrooge. Unbeknownst to Young Scrooge, she anchors him to his humanity and feelings. Once she is gone, he completely shuts himself off from his emotions. She is related to the Fezziwigs and this is how she knows Scrooge.
Fan - Female, 10-15 years - Scrooge's younger sister, future mother of Fred. The favored child of the family -- but her favorite family member is Scrooge. She loves Scrooge deeply and is loved deeply by him. |

Set in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Harold is getting ready to celebrate his birthday with a party that his six friends are holding for him.
But this party is not going to hold the fun times that the party goers expect as secrets and uncomfortable truths are revealed throughout the evening.
The Boys in the Band premiered Off-Broadway in 1968 and was revived on Broadway for its 50th anniversary in 2018. At the time, it was an unprecedented play featuring an entirely out-and-proud group of gay actors. It has also been lauded as one of the first plays to honestly deal with the gay lifestyle and realistic portrayal of gay characters

ABOUT THE SHOW
Ken Ludwig’s stage adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express is a heart-racing suspense thriller, a knee-slapping comedy and a head-scratching mystery all wrapped in one. Set in 1934 on the glamorous Orient Express, a long-distance passenger train connecting continental Europe to west Asia, dignitaries from across the globe embark for a journey through treacherous snow-covered mountains when an American businessman is murdered. Hercule Poirot must step in and solve the crime, but which international figure committed the deed?
Cast needs: 5-7m/5f
HERCULE POIROT: The main character and Belgian detective who is traveling on the Orient Express. He is a brilliant and fastidious investigator with a strong sense of justice. He is determined to solve the mystery and bring the killer to justice. (suggested 30’s-50’s)
MONSIEUR BOUC: A Belgian man of good humor, Monsieur Bouc is an old friend of Poirot’s. He appears removed from the crime, often acting as Poirot’s sounding board. (Suggested 30’s-50’s)
MARY DEBENHAM: A beautiful English Governess, Mary bears a certain sadness in her eyes. When she first appears, she is very anxious. Perhaps she is harboring a terrible secret…. (Suggested 20’s)
HECTOR MACQUEEN: A nervous young American with a strained, rather beleaguered face, Hector appears to be suppressing something. He was personal secretary to Mr. McQueen. Perhaps he knows more than he is willing to tell… suggested (20’s-30’s)
MICHEL THE TRAIN CONDUCTOR: A good-looking Frenchman, Michel has a quiet, almost grave sense of humor. He’s seen a lot in his years on the Orient Express, and he knows his way around the train, making him particularly well positioned to get away with murder. (traditionally doubles with Head Waiter) (suggested 30’s-40’s)
PRINCESS DRAGOMIROFF: The Russian princess enters her compartment “like a galleon in full sail.” Expensively dressed and handsomely bejeweled, she certainly wouldn’t need to kill for money. But might she have another motive? (suggested 50’s-70’s)
Gretta Olsen: A Nurse and missionary from Sweden, plain and modest, Greta has a frightened, sheep-like quality about her. There is something odd about this woman. Could she be harboring a deadly secret? (Suggested 20’s-30’s)
COUNTESS ELENA ANDRENYI: The Countess from Hungary is out of a fairy tale. Brilliantly beautiful and always dressed to the nines in furs and diamonds. She seems too good to be true… (suggested 20’s)
HELEN HUBBARD: An outspoken American widow, well dressed with a touch of flamboyance, Mrs. Hubbard is a tough-talking broad with rough edge and a bold sense of humor. She seems the least likely to commit murder, but is there something about her the others don’t know? (suggested 40’s-50’s)
COLONEL JOHN ARBUTHNOT: A Scotsman in his mid-thirties and veteran of the war, Arbuthnot is handsome and very matter of fact. He’s hopelessly in love with Mary… (Traditionally doubles with Samuel Ratchett) (Suggested 30’s)
SAMUEL RATCHETT: An American businessman. He is brusque and unforgiving, with a threatening demeanor and a whiplash of a voice. He’s made plenty of enemies… Almost everyone has wished him dead. (Traditionally doubles with Col. Arbuthnot) (Suggested 30’s)
HEAD WAITER: An English professional in demeanor, he is knowledgeable and a bit overconfident. Mystery fans know it’s a cliché, but never rule out the possibility that The Butler Did It. (Traditionally doubles with Michel) (Suggested 30’s-40’s)
*Suggested ages are simply that, don’t let it dissuade you from reading for a role*

Set in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Harold is getting ready to celebrate his birthday with a party that his six friends are holding for him.
But this party is not going to hold the fun times that the party goers expect as secrets and uncomfortable truths are revealed throughout the evening.
The Boys in the Band premiered Off-Broadway in 1968 and was revived on Broadway for its 50th anniversary in 2018. At the time, it was an unprecedented play featuring an entirely out-and-proud group of gay actors. It has also been lauded as one of the first plays to honestly deal with the gay lifestyle and realistic portrayal of gay characters

Rated - PG-13
It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace, and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strips last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock 'n' roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it's too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more hold the answer.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women is an epic story that is familiar to nearly every American. Set during the Civil War, the plot revolves around the lives of the four March daughters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy—and follows their triumphs and tragedies as they grow up, fall in love and face life. Thomas Hischak’s time-honored script is a heart-warming adaptation of Alcott’s classic that captures the richness and depth of her lovely characters and story. Audiences of all generations will enjoy this much-loved classic tale, interlaced with warmth, family loyalty and love.

CAST NEEDS
*ALL ETHNICITIES ENCOURAGED TO AUDITION FOR ALL ROLES*
JO MARCH (female, 14-18). The second in the line of March sisters, Jo knows exactly who she is but struggles in a world where she doesn’t quite fit. Jo is often caught between a desire to rebel against the world or escape entirely. Jo is headstrong and bold but not fearless; she feels things too deeply. She is book-smart and a late bloomer. She is a talented writer who creates melodramas for page and stage. Jo is also the narrator of our memory play.
MEG MARCH (female, 16-18). The eldest of the March sisters, Meg is kind, gentle, and strong. She leads by example and hopes to be as much like her mother as possible. She is a romantic and believes in love, but is tempered by her responsible side. This is why she is caught between a love of acting and a talent for teaching. Both use similar aspects of her personality, but one is a dream and one is a practicality.
BETH MARCH (female, 12-16). Born third in the line of March sisters, Beth is the peacemaker, the listener, and everyone’s “person.” She has a profound ability to make people feel seen and to love them unconditionally. She believes in giving love generously and is happy with her role in the family. Beth is unusually talented at creating music and plays the piano with instinctive skill.
AMY MARCH (female, 10-14). The youngest of the March sisters, Amy dislikes being the baby and so she has taken it upon herself to be precocious, refined, and “grown” before her time. Amy is very pretty and has always been told as much. She is not vain but, rather, honest and forthright about her qualities (and everyone else’s). She sparkles and charms everyone with a grace that comes naturally to her. Amy has a fierce heart, a fearless nature, and unmatched determination. She is a talented visual artist and it informs how she sees the world.
MARMEE MARCH (female, late teens) She is a woman who fell in love and created a family with the father of her children. This is different from saying she is a “wife and mother.” She has the endurance and fortitude of someone who has been through the labor intensive years of having four small children close in age. Now, with all of her teenage children still living at home, she is savoring motherhood.
MR. LAURENCE (male, late teens). Mr. Laurence is a wealthy man in a time when many people are struggling to make ends meet. He is mistaken for a curmudgeon because of his serious nature, but he has a good heart. He might just surprise you when you get to know him.
LAURIE LAURENCE (male, 15-18). Laurie is an only child and has spent most of his life around adults. He is well-read and has a quick mind. He is generous, kind, and wants to be brave but his cautious nature gets the best of him. Laurie is educated, wealthy, good looking, and the world is his oyster. But he wishes someone would see him the way he sees himself.
HANNAH (Female, 13+) servant. She has been with the family since before the girls were born. She is considered more of family member then a servant. Her dry humor and abrupt manner do not conceal her warm and loyal affection for the family.
AUNT MARCH (Female, late teens). She is a woman who wants for nothing and considers herself the authority on everything related to decorum, class, and propriety. Aunt March has good intentions even if her motives are manipulative.
MR. JOHN BROOKE (male, late teens). Mr. Brooke is a tutor hired for Laurie, meaning he is equally well-read but of a lower economic standing. He is thoughtful and industrious, capable and steady. He has a surprisingly romantic side.
MR. MARCH (male, late teens) Mr. March is away during the Civil War, leaving the ladies to worry about his well-being. When he is home, however, he’s a caring, considerate father.
PROFESSOR FRIEDRICH BHAER (male, late teens) Must be able to handle a German dialect. Friedrich Bhaer is an immigrant who was an accomplished professor in Germany but is now barely scraping by in New York City. He is an excellent writer and an intellectual, favoring philosophy over most other subjects. He is sensitive and gentle, but reserved with his outward displays of emotion. Friedrich Bhaer is honest and perceptive and has an uncanny ability to inspire people to be the best version of themselves.
Ensemble: 4-6 ensemble members, who will plays characters in town and in New York City. Female.
