Confetti returns to the beautiful gardens at Ten Broeck Mansion this summer
to present an original comedy by award-winning local playwrights.

This is the tale of that famous rogue and his quest to free the common folk
from tyranny, which resonates as much in modern society as it ever did in
the past.  Featuring all the classic characters, but with a twist.  This is
the story of the people before they were legends.  It is a story not of
epic heroes, but of humans.  Flawed humans.  Deeply flawed humans.

Actors should prepare a short comedic monologue, either classical or
contemporary. Headshots and resumes are not required.  Some physical
activity, including light stage combat, will be necessary for this show.
Please note that all roles may be filled by a performer of any
gender/age/race.

Rehearsals will begin May 25th. Please bring all available scheduling
conflict info to the audition.

For further information, please contact Chris Kowalski, director, at

CHARACTERS:

*Robin Hood: (M - 20+) A legend in his own mind, about to find out what it
means to be a legend for real. Also fancies himself a charmer and a
criminal genius. Much better with a sword or bow than he is with a plan.
Experience with sword fight choreography a plus. Little John: (M -
20+)Robin Hood’s best friend. Soft-spoken and thoughtful. He tries to keep
Robin grounded but is rarely successful. Must be big enough for the name to
be ironic. Maid Marion: (F - 20+) A mix between Machiavelli and Mary
Poppins. Shrewd and calculating, but with hidden reserves of compassion.
Experience with sword fight choreography a plus. Will Scarlet: (F - able to
play 17-20) Also known as Angelina, Marion’s younger and more
criminally-inclined sister. “Will” is a powderkeg of chaos, irreverence,
disorder, and all the other things her older sister hates. Alan a Dale: (M
- 20+) The narrator of the story. Also the resident minstrel and coward of
the Merry Men. Any musical talent (i.e. singing, guitar, flute, etc.) is a
plus. Friar Tuck: (M - 30+) A holy hedonist. Tuck enjoys food, wine,
fighting, and social justice. He is the conscience of the Sherwood
outlaws. Prince John: (M - 30+) Usurper, schemer, and jealous younger
brother. Prince John took the throne after his brother Richard was
kidnapped by pirates. Sheriff: (M - 20+) Marion’s fiancee and the Prince’s
right hand man. Just as egotistical as Robin, but without a conscience to
slow him down. Experience with sword fight choreography a plus. King
Richard: (M - 30+) A small role, but a grand entrance. King Richard is the
rightful ruler of England who has been kidnapped by pirates and is
currently being held for ransom. His is noble, just, and blustery. This
role may doubled with Guy. Guy: (M - 20+) The Sheriff’s toadie. Guy is a
sycophant, and if there were yearbooks back then, he probably would have
been voted “Most Likely to Be Asked to Fetch Something.” This role may be
doubled with King Richard.*
