About the play:
This delightful story loosely based on history, features the Space Task Force that helped launch the first Apollo mission. Winner of the Galileo Prize from the Alfred Sloan Foundation, this will be the second production of the play. The play focuses on how this eclectic team figured out how to get a man to AND from the moon with the aid of a “think tank” made up of Buck Rogers, Apollo, Icarus, the Red Baron, Snoopy, Galileo, Louis Leakey, etc. who appear and disappear into the woodwork.

SEEKING NON-UNION ACTORS FOR THE FOLLOWING ROLES:

ONE OF THESE PARTS WILL BE CAST WITH A NON-UNION ACTOR:
Male. Each needs to be versatile to play the imaginary think tank characters. Physical and verbal dexterity. Comedic. Accents. All ages and ethnicities: (one of these parts will be cast with a non-AEA actor)
Actor #1: Buck Rogers, Icarus, Dr. Charles Townes, Tycho Brahe
Actor #2: Galileo, The Red Baron, Reporter

Vencel von Volp - Male, 30ish. German scientists assigned to the Task Force. The nerdy numbers man of the team – not as concerned for the human factor. Extremely proper. Obsessed with all-things math, statistics and formulas. MUST AUDITION WITH GERMAN ACCENT.

CJ Caldwell – Male, late 20s-early 30s.  Good natured, country boy who is a brilliant engineer (but hates math).  Reduces his stress by hunting ducks.  Appears to be unsophisticated, but is super intelligent.  MUST AUDITION WITH APPALACIAN/SOUTHERN ACCENT
