Light Opera Comapny Opera House, 826 State Street, beginning at 7:00 PM.  

 
Roles available are:
 
Princess Leonide (F) – Age 20’s to 30’s.  Full of spirit, the princess wants 
to experience the real world before becoming the ruler of Sparta.  She is 
resourceful, energetic and always one-step ahead of the people around her.  Must 
be able to assume the many faces the princess takes during the show…sometimes 
at a moments notice – from pretending she is a man befriending another man, a 
man seducing an older women, a “Monroe” type  seducing and older man, and a 
woman running from an arranged marriage. 
 
Agis(M) –  Age 20’s to 30’s.   The true Prince of Sparta and the sworn 
mortal enemy of the Princess.   Raised in seclusion by his Aunt and Uncle, he has 
been taught to live and think only using reason.  When a “man” befriends him 
before his departure, he world changes and changes even more after he discovers 
the man is a woman (but still not knowing it is the Princess) and Agis 
experiences love for the first time.  Agis is the proverbial straight man amongst 
the shenanigans of the zany characters around him.
 
Hesione(F) – Age 30’s to 50’s.  Described as a ferocious philosopher.  She 
lives her life through reason, devoid of emotion.  When The Princess arrives 
disguised as a man, the Princess awakens feeling buried deep inside and exposes 
Hesione to her emotions.  After all these years, Hesione awakens and longs to 
experience everything she has missed in life.
 
 
Hermocrates(M) – Age 30’s to 50’s. The most ferocious philosopher.  
Hermocrates prides himself in leading a life based on reason, thinking that women’s 
emotions are their downfall.   Hermocrates thinks that he has seen through the 
Princess’ manly charade, only to be seduced by her feminine whiles.  
 
 
Harlequin(M) – Age 20’s to 40’s.   The classic clown.  Harleqiun, along with

Corinne(F) – Age 20’s to 50’s   Maid and loyal servant to the Princess.  
Corinne, along with Harliquin and Dimas, comprise “ the zanies” – the group of

the Princess to befriend Agis.  When discovered as a woman, Corinne falls back 
on what she knows best to get her out of a tough spot - her feminine whiles.
