a bit clumsy, unsure of himself but does right by his people. Meek. He
started life as an orphan on Skid Row, but was taken in by his current
boss Mr. Mushnik. Taking care of plants and learning about them are his
joy. He is likable and well-meaning, but his naïveté often gets him into
sticky situations.

a dreamer. She is stylish and attractive and uses her beauty more as a
means of survival. She has a warped sense of self worth from a painful
past, but it does not define her. A life lived in Skid Row has not
tarnished her ability to dream a way out of a desperate circumstance.
Strong acting and singing; comedic timing skills a plus. </div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle">Vocal range: bit of belt Vocal range top: D5 – Vocal range bottom: G#3</div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle"><br></div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle">Mr. Mushnik (Supporting) – Male presenting.

struggling flower shop owner with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
Nosy, father figure to Seymour. Brutally honesty and hard on his
employees. Profit-driven. Beneath his rough exterior is a man just
trying to survive and who truly cares about Seymour and Audrey. Strong
character actor with some singing. </div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle">Vocal range top: F4 – Vocal range bottom: G2</div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle"><br></div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle">Orin Scrivello/The Dentist (Supporting) Male presenting, Stage age: 20-40</div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle">Audrey’s
Dentist boyfriend. He is arrogant, self-satisfied and abusive. Handsome
and can light up a room with his toxic charm. Constantly asserting his
masculinity and abusing power in attempts to maybe hide his own
vulnerability. His sickness lies in deriving pleasure in causing things
pain and abusing nitrous oxide. Strong character actor and singer who
can also deliver a bit of a comic edge. Ability to play other minor
roles such as Mr. Bernstein, Mrs. Luce, Skip Snip and more. </div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle">Vocal range top: G4 – Vocal range bottom: G2</div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle"><br></div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle">The Plant (Audrey II) Male or Female, 16+ </div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle">A
non-speaking puppeteer (experience not required) who manipulates
various stages of the plant as it gets bigger. Strong physical acting
skills and the ability to portray character and emotion purely through
movement. Has stamina to operate the large, heavy final puppet. </div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle"><br></div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle">Voice of the Plant (Audrey II) Any gender identity.

girl group with infectious energy and confidence. They are the light
and soul of Skid Row who can sing well and know it. They are the
no-nonsense driving force of the story; essentially a funky Greek chorus

Strong harmony singers with excellent movement skills that can
synchronize well within a group. </div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle">Vocal range top: F5 – Vocal range bottom: Ab3</div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle"><br></div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle"><b>To sign up, please visit <a class="gmail-oajrlxb2 gmail-g5ia77u1 gmail-qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 gmail-r7d6kgcz gmail-rq0escxv gmail-nhd2j8a9 gmail-nc684nl6 gmail-p7hjln8o gmail-kvgmc6g5 gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-jb3vyjys gmail-rz4wbd8a gmail-qt6c0cv9 gmail-a8nywdso gmail-i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr gmail-f1sip0of gmail-lzcic4wl gmail-gpro0wi8 gmail-py34i1dx" href="https://forms.gle/dssEs7maEQ2dE7VB7?fbclid=IwAR38G3QFrK0-HNlhqDvhMWqtcqqxeWnCUnlylp72IIGCBjQ0tpfXdaNADbs" rel="nofollow noopener" role="link" tabindex="0" target="_blank">https://forms.gle/dssEs7maEQ2dE7VB7.</a></b></div></span><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></span><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial narrow,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(111,168,220)"><b><font size="4">Kyle West </font></b><font size="4"><font size="2"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">(he/him)</span></font></font><b><font size="4"><br></font></b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial narrow,sans-serif"><font size="4">Executive & Artistic Director, <span style="color:rgb(61,133,198)">Fort Salem Theater</span></font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial narrow,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(111,168,220)"><b>A:</b></span> 11 E.
