What We’re Looking For:
We are seeking a diverse group of strong vocalists and performers, ages 18+ at the time of auditions. All ethnicities, gender identities, and body types are encouraged to audition. All roles are open. We acknowledge that the characters in the script are traditionally presented as either male or female (using he/him or she/her pronouns.) We warmly welcome any individual who identifies as gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, or non-binary for the roles that resonate most with their identity.
Karnak (Male/Masc., appears 40s-60s. Any ethnicity)
A mechanical fortune teller who serves as the narrator and judge. Omniscient, eerie, and occasionally compassionate. Requires strong presence and vocal command.
Ocean O’Connell Rosenberg (Female/Femme, appears to be 17. Any ethnicity)
The overachieving, highly ambitious class president. Intelligent, competitive, and desperate to be extraordinary. Strong belt, alto/soprano, with comedic precision.
Noel Gruber (Male/Masc., appears to be 17. Any ethnicity)
A romantic and theatrical dreamer who longs for a more glamorous and tragic life than his small-town reality. Witty, sardonic, and emotionally layered.
