Breakdown

Gloucester Stage Company 2026 Season

Gloucester Stage Company is a regional theatre in Gloucester, MA and produces shows under AEA’s New

England Area Theatre (NEAT) - B6 Contract. It is GSC’s goal to create a collaborative and supportive environment for all artists to engage their process with curiosity and boldness. We strive to create and support inspiring conversations on and off the stage.

In reference to the character descriptions below – most characters we encounter currently are on the binary and are written with she/her and he/him pronouns and you will see that in the following descriptions. But however limiting the descriptions are, our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible and we invite gender nonconforming, genderqueer, transgender and nonbinary actors to submit for the roles they most identify with. We have also listed race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. In addition, we will list disability when specific to a character
but are otherwise seeking actors with disabilities as well as nondisabled actors for all roles. - Language borrowed from Emily Tarquin & Kevin Kantor of Actors Theatre of Louisville

ABOUT THE PLAY: A worried mother comes to the library for what she thinks will be a reasonable, polite discussion about which books are appropriate for her teenage son. But her confrontation with the town librarian, a woman who cares deeply about her job and her community, sparks a chain reaction of consequences no one expected. A raucous and brash debate in the quietest place in America... the library.

A fight consultant will be included in this process.

SEEKING:

TRACK 1 (The Librarian, The Manager, The Editor): 35+. Any race/ethnicity. Character’s pronouns: she/her. THE LIBRARIAN is a person who might have lived in a city, or thought she'd live in a city, or did live in a city until life happened. Funny with a side of sly. Smart without question. A woman who loves what she does. Most of the time. THE MANAGER is a middle manager on her way to the next level. Corporate Material. Compulsively inarticulate, often interrupting herself. Not a word person. Something surprising and almost violent dressed in management training. A woman who loves her job. And her fish. THE EDITOR is another mother. A different mother. A hugger. A woman who loves a good book. A woman who wants to help.

ABOUT THE PLAY: Jerry is a literary agent; Emma runs an art gallery; Robert is a publisher. Emma and Robert are married and Jerry is Robert’s best friend, but Emma and Jerry have had a seven-year affair. The play opens with Emma and Jerry meeting for lunch in 1977, two years after the affair has finished and then the relationship of the three is traced backwards nine years to the evening when it all began. An intimacy consultant will be included in this process. The character of Emma may be asked to wear a slip and Jerry may be asked to be shirtless in a scene - both to be discussed and coordinated with the intimacy consultant.

ABOUT THE PLAY: Clarissa, a teenage Victorian goth, would rather jump from the tallest tree than audition a slew of suitors to save the family estate from financial ruin. But when her heart is unexpectedly caught by a daring, free-spirited suffragette, she might burn it all down for a chance to forge a brave new path. A modern, coming-of-age romantic comedy prequel to Virginia Woolf’s beloved Mrs. Dalloway.
