of status, his anxieties and his boy-next-door qualities, a reluctant hero
with good intentions who is sometimes held back by a fear of being assertive
or upsetting others, ultimately learns that taking responsibility is the
only way to serve his goals without harming others; Baker's Wife:
30+, driven by her strong desire to start a family at any cost, quick on
her feet and industrious of thought, a clever woman who manipulates her
husband when necessary and is not willing to take a backseat in determining
her own fate, her story is largely about discovering how her actions affect
the world beyond her own family, an everywoman, role for an actress with
emotional range and highly evolved comedic gifts; The Witch:
30s-50s, a frightened, aggressive, and possessive woman, still hung up
on her childhood experiences, driven by an intense need for her world to
be set right and for a sense of family and belonging as well as power and
beauty, wants it all, including emotional fulfillment, and is not afraid
to use any means to get it, trapped in a cycle of abuse that ultimately
gives way to a moment of transcendence, her transformation from Act 1 to
Act 2 requires an actress with enormous vocal, emotional, and physical
range; Narrator: 9-12, boy, with strong musical, movement,
and acting skills, unafraid to be the center of things, a sense of adventure
and curiosity, but also a definite sense of self, this is his story, on
stage throughout; Jack: 18+ to play Early Teens believably,
a naive teenager in the midst of puberty at its most awkward stage (acne
and all), and discovering his sexuality, full of life and possibilities,
his spirit of adventure is often tempered by his fear of the world beyond
his mother's apron strings; Jack's Mother: 45+, single mother
who has raised her son under hardship, working-class and unsentimental,
strong comedy, which conceals a tough broad, not a fairy-tale old-lady
mother; Cinderella: 20s, an outsider in her own family, led
by a strong sense of morals, usually caring and kind, but with a bit of
grit and fortitude to learn from her struggles and come out stronger, at
first a loner and a dreamer, comes of age as she falls in love, suffers
betrayal and ultimately takes responsibility for her own actions, wishes,
and desires, not necessarily a Disney princess; Cinderella's Stepmother:
40+, used to an elevated level of comfort and status, and invested in retaining
that life, dry and angular, role for a strong character actress with a
little hauteur and edge as well as humor; Florinda & Lucinda
(The Stepsisters): 20s-30s, full of character, attractive in their
folly, witty, most concerned with their own happiness, long, lean and mean,
strong singers, strong dancers, actors in these roles will cover other
principal roles; Prince/Wolf: 30s, plays Prince,
a great sense of irony and pastiche needed, a film star-like look, with
the relevant narcissism & Wolf, raw and compelling predator,
genuine sex appeal; 2nd Prince: 30s, film-star-like look,
with the relevant narcissism, great sense of irony and pastiche; Little
Red Riding Hood: 18+ to play early teens believably, an impish
teenager who is in the midst of puberty, is discovering her sexuality and
what it can do for her very quickly, yet she retains a level of innocence,
confident, spunky, overindulges in everything, including food and sweets,
strident and no-nonsense, full-figured a plus, actor in this role will
cover other principal roles; Mysterious Man: 55+, a ghost-like
presence, a man who has run away from his responsibilities, but has never
escaped his own guilt, his conscience has led him to return to fix past
mistakes, but not to an extent that leads him to directly engage in the
action, not doubling with the narrator; Rapunzel: 20s, in
the first act she is fairy-tale siren and yearning beauty, in the second
act she becomes a neurotic, worn-down single mother of two, actor in this
role will cover other principal roles; Granny: 40+, seeking
character actress to play Little Red Riding Hood's granny, is spunky and
no-nonsense, lives alone in the woods without fear, doesn't concern herself
with how she comes off to others either in appearance or behavior, needs
to be of the same brash world as Little Red, actor in this role will cover
other principal roles; Cinderella's Mother: Late 20s-Early
30s, classic fairy-tale dead mother, at the age at which she died, beautiful
and serene, held up in Cinderella's memory as an example of perfect kindness
and care, actor in this role will cover other principal roles; Steward:
30-50, steward to the Prince, officious, determined to fulfill his duties
at any cost, actor in this role will cover other principal roles. Casting
director's statement: "We are committed to casting diverse companies. We
are seeking qualified actors of all cultures and ages. This is a physically
demanding ensemble production on a multi-level stage. All cast members
must be extremely comfortable with climbing stairs and with contributing
to the aesthetics of this production's universe outside of their individual

March 17-April 1, 2012 (12 performances at The Gallery Players in Brooklyn,
NY). Breakdown-- Lena Younger: 59, female, African-American,
resilient and wise, with the power to maintain a good humor despite the
many hardships of her life, still in mourning over her recently deceased
husband, but masking it with a confident demeanor and bravely bright smile
and spirit, thoroughly tough, fierce, and thick-skinned, but her love for
her children and desire to provide for their family reveals a quiet, gentle,
and tender soul; Walter Lee Younger: 30, male, African-American,
street smart from a life of struggle in the inner city, his confident pride
and tough exterior masks the tender child and "mama's boy" that resulted
from his life of love and familial safety and protection, striking in his
grandeur and size (both physically and emotionally), with the ability to
both cry and scream with emotional ease, his ability to shift between the
harsh reality of his life and the brighter future that he dreams of is
both electrifying and frighteningly harrowing; Ruth Younger:
28, female, African-American, a life of sacrifice has aged her beyond her
years, but has not erased her sensuality, self-esteem, and deep love for
her family, beautiful yet broken, has invested her dreams and passions
into her son and husband with a grace and pride that is now starting to
rip at the seams, a sharp wit coupled with a sincerely sweet spirit allows
her to navigate her pain and frustrations with an easy laughter and infectious
sense of humor, a fierce strength allows her to stand tall even as her
world crumbles before her eyes; Beneatha Younger: 21, female,
African-American, a confident and proud scholar and "know-it-all" with
a big heart and even bigger zest for life and learning, an enthusiastic
dreamer who aspires to be a doctor as an extension of her vibrant newfound
political activism, boldly awakening to the joys of first love without
the courage to admit how much she enjoys it; Joseph Asagai:
24, male, African-American, a suitor of Beneatha, Nigerian exchange student,
enthusiastically proud of his Nigerian heritage, his power with words is
captivating, entrancing, and allows him to take over any room he enters
(an ability that he relishes), delights in Beneatha's fascination with
his culture; George Murchison: 22, male, African-American,
a suitor of Beneatha, handsome, privileged, and savvy, with a personality
that is at once immediately charming and off-putting, actively aware of
how his unique combination of good looks, money, and raging hormones makes
him quite a catch, has a genuine interest in Beneatha that he hides under
his mask of machismo and confidence, actor will double as a "Moving
Man" in other scenes; Travis Younger: 9, boy, African-American,
inner city life has made him wise beyond his years, quick-witted and bright-eyed,
his joyful enthusiasm for life is kept in balance with the harsh realities
of lack and struggle that burden his family and particularly his father,
a mama's boy on the verge of adolescence, is discovering his voice and
enjoying the thrill of pushing his mother's limits, the apple of his grandmother's
eye and he knows it; Karl Lindner: 30, male, Caucasian, proud
and big-hearted, projects a confidence and wisdom that masks his fear of
the unknown and hard to understand, a family man who takes pride in his
work, community, and sweet demeanor, a man on a mission that is in conflict
with his conscience, is in many ways who Walter Lee could have been in
another life; Bobo: 35, male, African-American, street smart
without the common sense (as his name suggests), a friend of Walter Lee
who is willing to risk his family's future on his personal ambitions, a
man of pride without much dignity or honor, lives in his dreams with his
head in the clouds, actor will double as a "Moving Man" in
other scenes. Prepare the side for the audition for the role for which
you are interested; cuttings will be for the characters Mama, Beneatha,
Ruth, Walter, Asagai, Travis, Lindner or Ruth. If you do not get an appointment

Begins February 20, 2012. Preview Dates: March 18, 2012. Performance Dates:
Opens April 15, 2012 (at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on Broadway in New
York, NY). Breakdown-- Peter: Early-Mid Teens (but must be
played by an adult actor who appears Early-Mid 20s), a boy who doesn't
miss much, nameless, homeless, and friendless at the beginning of the play,
and a hero by the end, feral, brave, competitive, the boy the others will
come to look up to, a survivor, more than anything in the world he wants
a home and a family, will stare at adult life from a distance but will
never understand it or enjoy it, because he will be forever held back in
childhood, if he could grow up he'd fall for Molly in a big way, but it'll
never happen; Molly Aster: Early-Mid Teens (but must be played
by an adult actor who appears Early-Mid 20s), raised to believe females
can do anything males can, a natural leader at a time when girls are mostly
followers, fearless, passionate, devoted to her father, her country, and
her Queen, willing to risk everything for the sake of doing right, curious,
intelligent, beginning to feel things she doesn't yet understand (romantic
longings that revert to childish tantrums under pressure) because for the
moment she's still a 13-year-old kid, will be one hell of a woman one day,
must have an excellent British accent; Prentiss: Early-Mid
Teens (but must be played by an adult actor who appears Early-Mid 20s),
a bit older than Peter, ambitious, hyper-articulate, logical, yearns to
be a leader even as he knows he never shall be one on account of the fact
that the boys wouldn't follow him no matter what, and also just the teeny-tiniest
touch of cowardice; Ted: Early-Mid Teens (but must be played
by an adult actor who appears early to mid-20s), obsessed with food (the
finding of, the eating of, the fighting over, and the dreaming about),
the most talented of the boys, a natural actor, and easy wit, maybe even
a poet, called "Tubby" by Prentiss, though not due to girth (of which orphans,
given their meager diets, have very little indeed), fed up with Prentiss,
but hungry for companionship. Also seeking the following adult characters
- The Black Stache: 30s, continues to terrorize the seven
seas long after most everyone else had gotten out of the pirate business,
started shaving at age 10 and had the blood of 20 frigate crews on his
hands by age 12, ruthless, peerless, heartless, and hirsute, suspiciously
well read, partial to the poetical and theatrical, and married to his piratical
career with a ferocity from which no good shall ever spring, must have
an excellent British accent; Lord Leonard Aster: Late 30s-Early
40s, the very model of a Victorian English gentleman, loyal subject to
the Queen, devoted father, faithful friend, also (and not irrelevant to
the story) is a Starcatcher, dedicated to protecting the Earth and all
who dwell there from the awesome power of Starstuff, must have an excellent
British accent; Mrs. Bumbrake/Teacher: Two-character female
track (to be played by a male actor) includes Mrs. Bumbrake,
Late 30s-Early 40s, Molly's nanny, British through and through, not afraid
of anything (including her husband, who is no longer alive), a no-nonsense
good-time gal, who liked a rough shag and a quick drag too back in the
day, still has enough of her girlish charm intact to turn a sailor's head
and leaven his dreams, stiff in the lip, loose in the hip, fun on a ship
& Teacher, formerly a salmon, now an ancient and knowledgeable
mermaid, must have excellent British and Scottish accents; Captain
Robert Falcon Scott: Late 30s-Early 40s, captain of the sports
teams at Trinity School, now commander of the Wasp (the fastest ship in
Victoria's fleet), if you don't ask he won't tell about his schoolboy crush
on Leonard Aster (who was also a student at Trinity), years later Scott
would lead an expeditionary team to the South Pole, freeze to death, and
become an iconic British hero, "Scott of the Antarctic," must have an excellent
British accent; Grempkin/Mack/Fighting Prawn: Three-character
track for one actor includes Grempkin, Early-Mid 30s, the
mean and malodorous schoolmaster from St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost
Boys, known as "The Angel of Anguish," keeps his boys in the dark, as sunlight
is known to feed rebellious notions, Mack, a very bad sailor
who wants to be anywhere else but under the thumb of Bill Slank & Fighting
Prawn, King of the Mollusk natives, son of Jumbo Prawn and Littleneck
Clam, kidnapped by British sailors and brought in chains to England, served
as sous-chef below stairs in a country estate in Derbyshire, where for
no good reason he learned Italian wines and mastered Italian cuisine, since
returning to his island kingdom he has vengefully murdered any English
with the temerity to land on his Mollusk Isle domain, must have an excellent
British accent; Smee: Early-Mid 30s, first mate to The Black
Stache, simple-minded, but single-mindedly dedicated to his Captain's every
whim, no first name, and from the day he was out of diapers was packed
off somewhere to be subservient to somebody, his motto is "'Tis good to
be busy," must have an excellent British accent; Bill Slank/Hawking
Clam: Two-character track for one actor includes Slank,
Late 30s-Early 40s, a vicious captain without the skill or quality to lead
anyone but himself (and always into disaster), would sell his own mother
for a ship to command, would kill his best friend for a leg up from the
stinking hole he calls home, cheerfully aids the awful machinations of
those who would use Starstuff for personal gain, global domination, or
worse, an orphan too & Hawking Clam, son of Fighting
Prawn, the issue of a night of love mere moments before Fighting Prawn
was torn from the nuptial bed he shared with Princess Sweetnsour Prawn
and whisked into a British kitchen half a world away, understands his father's
hatred for the British, but (as often happens with younger generations)
will gladly bend such strictures when one day he ascends to the Clam throne
as head of the Royal Clam Clan, must have an excellent British accent;
Alf:
30s-Early 40s, an old seadog who's prouder of achieving the rank of "Mister"
than he should be given the state of the competition, a white knight in
search of a damsel (any damsel), something about him appeals to the feminine
sensibility, might be his bow legs, his saucy gait or his kind heart, must
have an excellent British accent. Sides will be provided at the audition.

March 17-April 1, 2012 (12 performances at The Gallery Players in Brooklyn,
NY). Breakdown-- Lena Younger: 59, female, African-American,
resilient and wise, with the power to maintain a good humor despite the
many hardships of her life, still in mourning over her recently deceased
husband, but masking it with a confident demeanor and bravely bright smile
and spirit, thoroughly tough, fierce, and thick-skinned, but her love for
her children and desire to provide for their family reveals a quiet, gentle,
and tender soul; Walter Lee Younger: 30, male, African-American,
street smart from a life of struggle in the inner city, his confident pride
and tough exterior masks the tender child and "mama's boy" that resulted
from his life of love and familial safety and protection, striking in his
grandeur and size (both physically and emotionally), with the ability to
both cry and scream with emotional ease, his ability to shift between the
harsh reality of his life and the brighter future that he dreams of is
both electrifying and frighteningly harrowing; Ruth Younger:
28, female, African-American, a life of sacrifice has aged her beyond her
years, but has not erased her sensuality, self-esteem, and deep love for
her family, beautiful yet broken, has invested her dreams and passions
into her son and husband with a grace and pride that is now starting to
rip at the seams, a sharp wit coupled with a sincerely sweet spirit allows
her to navigate her pain and frustrations with an easy laughter and infectious
sense of humor, a fierce strength allows her to stand tall even as her
world crumbles before her eyes; Beneatha Younger: 21, female,
African-American, a confident and proud scholar and "know-it-all" with
a big heart and even bigger zest for life and learning, an enthusiastic
dreamer who aspires to be a doctor as an extension of her vibrant newfound
political activism, boldly awakening to the joys of first love without
the courage to admit how much she enjoys it; Joseph Asagai:
24, male, African-American, a suitor of Beneatha, Nigerian exchange student,
enthusiastically proud of his Nigerian heritage, his power with words is
captivating, entrancing, and allows him to take over any room he enters
(an ability that he relishes), delights in Beneatha's fascination with
his culture; George Murchison: 22, male, African-American,
a suitor of Beneatha, handsome, privileged, and savvy, with a personality
that is at once immediately charming and off-putting, actively aware of
how his unique combination of good looks, money, and raging hormones makes
him quite a catch, has a genuine interest in Beneatha that he hides under
his mask of machismo and confidence, actor will double as a "Moving
Man" in other scenes; Travis Younger: 9, boy, African-American,
inner city life has made him wise beyond his years, quick-witted and bright-eyed,
his joyful enthusiasm for life is kept in balance with the harsh realities
of lack and struggle that burden his family and particularly his father,
a mama's boy on the verge of adolescence, is discovering his voice and
enjoying the thrill of pushing his mother's limits, the apple of his grandmother's
eye and he knows it; Karl Lindner: 30, male, Caucasian, proud
and big-hearted, projects a confidence and wisdom that masks his fear of
the unknown and hard to understand, a family man who takes pride in his
work, community, and sweet demeanor, a man on a mission that is in conflict
with his conscience, is in many ways who Walter Lee could have been in
another life; Bobo: 35, male, African-American, street smart
without the common sense (as his name suggests), a friend of Walter Lee
who is willing to risk his family's future on his personal ambitions, a
man of pride without much dignity or honor, lives in his dreams with his
head in the clouds, actor will double as a "Moving Man" in
other scenes. Prepare the side for the audition for the role for which
you are interested; cuttings will be for the characters Mama, Beneatha,

Begins February 20, 2012. Preview Dates: March 18, 2012. Performance Dates:
Opens April 15, 2012 (at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on Broadway in New
York, NY). Breakdown-- Peter: Early-Mid Teens (but must be
played by an adult actor who appears Early-Mid 20s), a boy who doesn't
miss much, nameless, homeless, and friendless at the beginning of the play,
and a hero by the end, feral, brave, competitive, the boy the others will
come to look up to, a survivor, more than anything in the world he wants
a home and a family, will stare at adult life from a distance but will
never understand it or enjoy it, because he will be forever held back in
childhood, if he could grow up he'd fall for Molly in a big way, but it'll
never happen; Molly Aster: Early-Mid Teens (but must be played
by an adult actor who appears Early-Mid 20s), raised to believe females
can do anything males can, a natural leader at a time when girls are mostly
followers, fearless, passionate, devoted to her father, her country, and
her Queen, willing to risk everything for the sake of doing right, curious,
intelligent, beginning to feel things she doesn't yet understand (romantic
longings that revert to childish tantrums under pressure) because for the
moment she's still a 13-year-old kid, will be one hell of a woman one day,
must have an excellent British accent; Prentiss: Early-Mid
Teens (but must be played by an adult actor who appears Early-Mid 20s),
a bit older than Peter, ambitious, hyper-articulate, logical, yearns to
be a leader even as he knows he never shall be one on account of the fact
that the boys wouldn't follow him no matter what, and also just the teeny-tiniest
touch of cowardice; Ted: Early-Mid Teens (but must be played
by an adult actor who appears early to mid-20s), obsessed with food (the
finding of, the eating of, the fighting over, and the dreaming about),
the most talented of the boys, a natural actor, and easy wit, maybe even
a poet, called "Tubby" by Prentiss, though not due to girth (of which orphans,
given their meager diets, have very little indeed), fed up with Prentiss,
but hungry for companionship. Also seeking the following adult characters
- The Black Stache: 30s, continues to terrorize the seven
seas long after most everyone else had gotten out of the pirate business,
started shaving at age 10 and had the blood of 20 frigate crews on his
hands by age 12, ruthless, peerless, heartless, and hirsute, suspiciously
well read, partial to the poetical and theatrical, and married to his piratical
career with a ferocity from which no good shall ever spring, must have
an excellent British accent; Lord Leonard Aster: Late 30s-Early
40s, the very model of a Victorian English gentleman, loyal subject to
the Queen, devoted father, faithful friend, also (and not irrelevant to
the story) is a Starcatcher, dedicated to protecting the Earth and all
who dwell there from the awesome power of Starstuff, must have an excellent
British accent; Mrs. Bumbrake/Teacher: Two-character female
track (to be played by a male actor) includes Mrs. Bumbrake,
Late 30s-Early 40s, Molly's nanny, British through and through, not afraid
of anything (including her husband, who is no longer alive), a no-nonsense
good-time gal, who liked a rough shag and a quick drag too back in the
day, still has enough of her girlish charm intact to turn a sailor's head
and leaven his dreams, stiff in the lip, loose in the hip, fun on a ship
& Teacher, formerly a salmon, now an ancient and knowledgeable
mermaid, must have excellent British and Scottish accents; Captain
Robert Falcon Scott: Late 30s-Early 40s, captain of the sports
teams at Trinity School, now commander of the Wasp (the fastest ship in
Victoria's fleet), if you don't ask he won't tell about his schoolboy crush
on Leonard Aster (who was also a student at Trinity), years later Scott
would lead an expeditionary team to the South Pole, freeze to death, and
become an iconic British hero, "Scott of the Antarctic," must have an excellent
British accent; Grempkin/Mack/Fighting Prawn: Three-character
track for one actor includes Grempkin, Early-Mid 30s, the
mean and malodorous schoolmaster from St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost
Boys, known as "The Angel of Anguish," keeps his boys in the dark, as sunlight
is known to feed rebellious notions, Mack, a very bad sailor
who wants to be anywhere else but under the thumb of Bill Slank & Fighting
Prawn, King of the Mollusk natives, son of Jumbo Prawn and Littleneck
Clam, kidnapped by British sailors and brought in chains to England, served
as sous-chef below stairs in a country estate in Derbyshire, where for
no good reason he learned Italian wines and mastered Italian cuisine, since
returning to his island kingdom he has vengefully murdered any English
with the temerity to land on his Mollusk Isle domain, must have an excellent
British accent; Smee: Early-Mid 30s, first mate to The Black
Stache, simple-minded, but single-mindedly dedicated to his Captain's every
whim, no first name, and from the day he was out of diapers was packed
off somewhere to be subservient to somebody, his motto is "'Tis good to
be busy," must have an excellent British accent; Bill Slank/Hawking
Clam: Two-character track for one actor includes Slank,
Late 30s-Early 40s, a vicious captain without the skill or quality to lead
anyone but himself (and always into disaster), would sell his own mother
for a ship to command, would kill his best friend for a leg up from the
stinking hole he calls home, cheerfully aids the awful machinations of
those who would use Starstuff for personal gain, global domination, or
worse, an orphan too & Hawking Clam, son of Fighting
Prawn, the issue of a night of love mere moments before Fighting Prawn
was torn from the nuptial bed he shared with Princess Sweetnsour Prawn
and whisked into a British kitchen half a world away, understands his father's
hatred for the British, but (as often happens with younger generations)
will gladly bend such strictures when one day he ascends to the Clam throne
as head of the Royal Clam Clan, must have an excellent British accent;
Alf:
30s-Early 40s, an old seadog who's prouder of achieving the rank of "Mister"
than he should be given the state of the competition, a white knight in
search of a damsel (any damsel), something about him appeals to the feminine
sensibility, might be his bow legs, his saucy gait or his kind heart, must
have an excellent British accent. Sides will be provided at the audition.

resilient and wise, with the power to maintain a good humor despite the
many hardships of her life, still in mourning over her recently deceased
husband, but masking it with a confident demeanor and bravely bright smile
and spirit, thoroughly tough, fierce, and thick-skinned, but her love for
her children and desire to provide for their family reveals a quiet, gentle,
and tender soul; Walter Lee Younger: 30, male, African-American,
street smart from a life of struggle in the inner city, his confident pride
and tough exterior masks the tender child and "mama's boy" that resulted
from his life of love and familial safety and protection, striking in his
grandeur and size (both physically and emotionally), with the ability to
both cry and scream with emotional ease, his ability to shift between the
harsh reality of his life and the brighter future that he dreams of is
both electrifying and frighteningly harrowing; Ruth Younger:
28, female, African-American, a life of sacrifice has aged her beyond her
years, but has not erased her sensuality, self-esteem, and deep love for
her family, beautiful yet broken, has invested her dreams and passions
into her son and husband with a grace and pride that is now starting to
rip at the seams, a sharp wit coupled with a sincerely sweet spirit allows
her to navigate her pain and frustrations with an easy laughter and infectious
sense of humor, a fierce strength allows her to stand tall even as her
world crumbles before her eyes; Beneatha Younger: 21, female,
African-American, a confident and proud scholar and "know-it-all" with
a big heart and even bigger zest for life and learning, an enthusiastic
dreamer who aspires to be a doctor as an extension of her vibrant newfound
political activism, boldly awakening to the joys of first love without
the courage to admit how much she enjoys it; Joseph Asagai:
24, male, African-American, a suitor of Beneatha, Nigerian exchange student,
enthusiastically proud of his Nigerian heritage, his power with words is
captivating, entrancing, and allows him to take over any room he enters
(an ability that he relishes), delights in Beneatha's fascination with
his culture; George Murchison: 22, male, African-American,
a suitor of Beneatha, handsome, privileged, and savvy, with a personality
that is at once immediately charming and off-putting, actively aware of
how his unique combination of good looks, money, and raging hormones makes
him quite a catch, has a genuine interest in Beneatha that he hides under
his mask of machismo and confidence, actor will double as a "Moving
Man" in other scenes; Travis Younger: 9, boy, African-American,
inner city life has made him wise beyond his years, quick-witted and bright-eyed,
his joyful enthusiasm for life is kept in balance with the harsh realities
of lack and struggle that burden his family and particularly his father,
a mama's boy on the verge of adolescence, is discovering his voice and
enjoying the thrill of pushing his mother's limits, the apple of his grandmother's
eye and he knows it; Karl Lindner: 30, male, Caucasian, proud
and big-hearted, projects a confidence and wisdom that masks his fear of
the unknown and hard to understand, a family man who takes pride in his
work, community, and sweet demeanor, a man on a mission that is in conflict
with his conscience, is in many ways who Walter Lee could have been in
another life; Bobo: 35, male, African-American, street smart
without the common sense (as his name suggests), a friend of Walter Lee
who is willing to risk his family's future on his personal ambitions, a
man of pride without much dignity or honor, lives in his dreams with his
head in the clouds, actor will double as a "Moving Man" in
other scenes. Prepare the side for the audition for the role for which

Equity Broadway/Production Contract ($1,703 min./wk.). Rehearsal Dates:
Begins February 20, 2012. Preview Dates: March 18, 2012. Performance Dates:
Opens April 15, 2012 (at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on Broadway in New
York, NY). Breakdown-- Peter: Early-Mid Teens (but must be
played by an adult actor who appears Early-Mid 20s), a boy who doesn't
miss much, nameless, homeless, and friendless at the beginning of the play,
and a hero by the end, feral, brave, competitive, the boy the others will
come to look up to, a survivor, more than anything in the world he wants
a home and a family, will stare at adult life from a distance but will
never understand it or enjoy it, because he will be forever held back in
childhood, if he could grow up he'd fall for Molly in a big way, but it'll
never happen; Molly Aster: Early-Mid Teens (but must be played
by an adult actor who appears Early-Mid 20s), raised to believe females
can do anything males can, a natural leader at a time when girls are mostly
followers, fearless, passionate, devoted to her father, her country, and
her Queen, willing to risk everything for the sake of doing right, curious,
intelligent, beginning to feel things she doesn't yet understand (romantic
longings that revert to childish tantrums under pressure) because for the
moment she's still a 13-year-old kid, will be one hell of a woman one day,
must have an excellent British accent; Prentiss: Early-Mid
Teens (but must be played by an adult actor who appears Early-Mid 20s),
a bit older than Peter, ambitious, hyper-articulate, logical, yearns to
be a leader even as he knows he never shall be one on account of the fact
that the boys wouldn't follow him no matter what, and also just the teeny-tiniest
touch of cowardice; Ted: Early-Mid Teens (but must be played
by an adult actor who appears early to mid-20s), obsessed with food (the
finding of, the eating of, the fighting over, and the dreaming about),
the most talented of the boys, a natural actor, and easy wit, maybe even
a poet, called "Tubby" by Prentiss, though not due to girth (of which orphans,
given their meager diets, have very little indeed), fed up with Prentiss,
but hungry for companionship. Also seeking the following adult characters
- The Black Stache: 30s, continues to terrorize the seven
seas long after most everyone else had gotten out of the pirate business,
started shaving at age 10 and had the blood of 20 frigate crews on his
hands by age 12, ruthless, peerless, heartless, and hirsute, suspiciously
well read, partial to the poetical and theatrical, and married to his piratical
career with a ferocity from which no good shall ever spring, must have
an excellent British accent; Lord Leonard Aster: Late 30s-Early
40s, the very model of a Victorian English gentleman, loyal subject to
the Queen, devoted father, faithful friend, also (and not irrelevant to
the story) is a Starcatcher, dedicated to protecting the Earth and all
who dwell there from the awesome power of Starstuff, must have an excellent
British accent; Mrs. Bumbrake/Teacher: Two-character female
track (to be played by a male actor) includes Mrs. Bumbrake,
Late 30s-Early 40s, Molly's nanny, British through and through, not afraid
of anything (including her husband, who is no longer alive), a no-nonsense
good-time gal, who liked a rough shag and a quick drag too back in the
day, still has enough of her girlish charm intact to turn a sailor's head
and leaven his dreams, stiff in the lip, loose in the hip, fun on a ship
& Teacher, formerly a salmon, now an ancient and knowledgeable
mermaid, must have excellent British and Scottish accents; Captain
Robert Falcon Scott: Late 30s-Early 40s, captain of the sports
teams at Trinity School, now commander of the Wasp (the fastest ship in
Victoria's fleet), if you don't ask he won't tell about his schoolboy crush
on Leonard Aster (who was also a student at Trinity), years later Scott
would lead an expeditionary team to the South Pole, freeze to death, and
become an iconic British hero, "Scott of the Antarctic," must have an excellent
British accent; Grempkin/Mack/Fighting Prawn: Three-character
track for one actor includes Grempkin, Early-Mid 30s, the
mean and malodorous schoolmaster from St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost
Boys, known as "The Angel of Anguish," keeps his boys in the dark, as sunlight
is known to feed rebellious notions, Mack, a very bad sailor
who wants to be anywhere else but under the thumb of Bill Slank & Fighting
Prawn, King of the Mollusk natives, son of Jumbo Prawn and Littleneck
Clam, kidnapped by British sailors and brought in chains to England, served
as sous-chef below stairs in a country estate in Derbyshire, where for
no good reason he learned Italian wines and mastered Italian cuisine, since
returning to his island kingdom he has vengefully murdered any English
with the temerity to land on his Mollusk Isle domain, must have an excellent
British accent; Smee: Early-Mid 30s, first mate to The Black
Stache, simple-minded, but single-mindedly dedicated to his Captain's every
whim, no first name, and from the day he was out of diapers was packed
off somewhere to be subservient to somebody, his motto is "'Tis good to
be busy," must have an excellent British accent; Bill Slank/Hawking
Clam: Two-character track for one actor includes Slank,
Late 30s-Early 40s, a vicious captain without the skill or quality to lead
anyone but himself (and always into disaster), would sell his own mother
for a ship to command, would kill his best friend for a leg up from the
stinking hole he calls home, cheerfully aids the awful machinations of
those who would use Starstuff for personal gain, global domination, or
worse, an orphan too & Hawking Clam, son of Fighting
Prawn, the issue of a night of love mere moments before Fighting Prawn
was torn from the nuptial bed he shared with Princess Sweetnsour Prawn
and whisked into a British kitchen half a world away, understands his father's
hatred for the British, but (as often happens with younger generations)
will gladly bend such strictures when one day he ascends to the Clam throne
as head of the Royal Clam Clan, must have an excellent British accent;
Alf:
30s-Early 40s, an old seadog who's prouder of achieving the rank of "Mister"
than he should be given the state of the competition, a white knight in
search of a damsel (any damsel), something about him appeals to the feminine
sensibility, might be his bow legs, his saucy gait or his kind heart, must
have an excellent British accent. Sides will be provided at the audition.
