Most Favored Nations For All Performers

Local Hires Only

SEEKING:

Simon Bash – 40s, Male Presenting

Vocal Range: HIGH male rock tenor. E3-D5 (Yes—D5!)

Big rock icon vibes, vocally and physically. Strong comedic chops

Simon’s been one of the hottest rock icons in America for the past decade but he’s at a crossroads. He’s battling bad publicity, suffering a herculean writer’s block, and needs to find inspiration fast. Right now, he just needs some downtime to clear his head. He ain’t gonna find it on Lake Avenue!

Val Davis – 40s, Female Presenting

Vocal Range: Mezzo. Strong rock voice. A3-E5

Big voice. Can be both confident and insecure

Val helps Bruce at the pet store. With both kids about to graduate, she worries what chapter two of married life with Bruce is going to be. She feels invisible to her husband and longs for the intimacy their marriage once had.

Bruce Davis – 40s, Male Presenting

Vocal Range: Tenor. Strong rock voice. Eb3-Ab4

Comedic role. Good at playing awkward and flummoxed

Bruce is the owner of a small pet store in danger of being driven out of business by a national chain. In his efforts to stay above water, he often forgets the wife and kids he’s doing all this for. Bruce is eager for his 18-year-old son to work full-time at the store as he did with his father 30 years ago, but he’s beginning to fear his son may have other plans.

Jan (Jan-ma) Randall – 60s, Female Presenting

Vocal Range: Mezzo. Rock singer with strong lower range. B3-E5

Big Voice. Funny and energetic with dramatic chops.

Jan is a cancer survivor with a lot of life left in her and very few “efs” to give. She is the matriarch of a three-generation household of women, including her daughter—who moved in after her divorce—and granddaughter. Jan’s brush with mortality has taught her that every day counts.

Steph Randall – late 30s, Female Presenting

Vocal Range: Soprano. Strong rock belter. A3-E5

Big Voice. Less comedic than dramatic role. Comfortable air guitarist and if you can really play the guitar, even better!

Steph’s gifts as a singer and guitarist made a career in the music industry seem pre-ordained. But single motherhood put that career on hold, and then helping her mother through cancer ended her dreams entirely. She has found fulfillment as a music teacher but now faces another roadblock when budget cuts threaten her job. Living a life full of obstacles, Steph tries to put Luanne on the path to success…perhaps a little too hard.

Charlie Blaney – late 30s, Male Presenting

Vocal Range: Tenor. Strong rock voice. G2-G4

More dramatic than comedic role

Six months ago, Charlie’s world came crashing down when his wife’s social drug habit ended her career and rocked their marriage. Suddenly, Charlie finds himself a single dad working double shifts to pay the bills while trying desperately to shield his son, T.J., from the domestic fallout around them. He thinks he’s succeeding. Think again, Charlie. Seeking a black performer for this role.
