ONCE UPON A MATTRESS AUDITIONS: OCTOBER 4th TIME 12pm .
Directed by Marc Christopher
Show dates Dec 12 -21
BRING HEADSHOTS AND RESUMES TO THE AUDITION PLEASE!
Please come prepared with 16 bars of a Broadway song that shows off
characters. I am looking for a company of actors (Ages 16 and up) who
are self-motivated upbeat with great attitudes and willing to learn at a
fast pace with as few rehearsals a week as possible. I need fun
character actors. Every single character has a personality and I want
them to be over the top. The music is fun and challenging with a couple
big dance numbers. CASTING 17 people which include a 8 person Featured
Ensemble of Knights and Ladies in Waiting.
Rehearsals will be starting October 28th , which will be the first read through (rehearsals will be Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday) with Tech Week
starting December 7th (Every evening until Opening Night). I want to do only 3 days a week and will try my best to work around schedules.
ALL ROLES ARE AVAILABLE:
MINSTREL- (Age 20s-30s, Tenor) The handsome narrator of the story, as
well as in the musical story line. He becomes smitten with Lady Larken
and tried to persuade her to flee to Normandy with him. He and the
Jester join forces to stop the Queen’s plans.
WIZARD- (Age
50-80, Baritone) The egotistical, ex-performer who directly serves the
Queen. He is the Queen’s henchman and thinks of all the Princess’
tests. He prides himself in his position and basically obeys all the
Queens order.
QUEEN AGGRAVAIN- (Age 50-60, Alto) The loud,
talkative woman who really rules the country. She is an over protective,
stubborn, sly Mom who is trying to keep her son, Price Dauntless, from
getting married
PRINCE DAUNTLESS- (Age 28-40 depending on
Aggravain and Sexitmus, Baritone ) A nice, not too smart, everyday type
of young Prince who desperately wants to get married, but is prevented
by his mother’s strict tests that she gives to all potential candidates.
LADY LARKEN (Age 20s, Soprano) Is the Queen’s Lady-in-Waiting but is
put in charge of Princess Winifred. She is madly in love with Sir Harry
and desperately wants to marry him because she is pregnant with his
baby. She tries to flee the Kingdom after having an argument with Sir
Harry, but is convinced by Winifred to reunite with him.
KING
SEXTIMUS THE SILENT (Age 50-60) A kind, expressive, playful, and comedic
character who is silent due to a curse placed upon him by a witch
before the birth of Dauntless. He likes to chase girls through the
corridors of the castle. Need good improve skills
JESTER (Age
20-30, Tenor or Alto) An energetic and peppy man/woman who is the King’s
right hand-man and assists him with every endeavor. The jester also
plots with the Minstrel to spoil the Queen’s plans.
SIR HARRY
(20s-30s, Tenor) He is the Queen’s Champion-in-Arms The Lancelot of
Knights. The Macho, slightly egotistical brave romantic knight who
decides to leave the kingdom to search for a princess, and finds
Winifred in the swamp. Easily jealous, but loves Lady Larken with all
his heart. Harry cannot marry Lady Larken until Prince Dauntless has
found a suitable bride.
PRINCESS WINIFRED THE WOEBEGONE- (Age
28-40 depending on Aggravain and Sextimus, Mezzo- Good Belt) A feisty,
outspoken, independent, strong, optimistic, and free thinking princess
from the swamp lands. She isn’t too goo with manners. She wants to get
married, but must go through the queen’s unfair test as well. The
Prince, naturally, falls madly in love with her.
