*CASSE NOISETTE  *by Michael Whistler

World Premiere

Directed by John Sowle

The life of composer Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky collides with that of a
closeted high school teacher obsessed with Tchaikovsky’s music. The story
of a quiet man and some very loud music.

Rehearsals begin: October 23  Runs: November 8 – 18



Looking for:

*Joe Jessup/Pyotr Illych Tchaikovsky *– 50s. *JOE* is quiet and diligent: a
closeted high school Earth Science’s teacher, and a man who understands the
value of patience and self-negation. He is used to not getting exactly what
he might wish for. *TCHAIKOVSKY* is a musical genius, homosexual (though
not openly), enormously charismatic, deeply emotional, explosive. By turns
sullen, petulant, demanding, and more than a little exasperating.

*Nancy Klein/Antonietta Dell’era* – Around 40. *NANCY* is a high school
English teacher, very warm and open. She laughs too easily, probably cries
too easily as well if anyone were ever around to see. *DELL’ERA* is Prima
Ballerina of the Imperial Ballet. A voluptuous woman with majestic hauteur.
MUCH larger than life. She speaks with an almost ludicrous Italian
accent. *Must
also sing as part of a three-part a cappella vocal arrangement of “The
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”*

*Marc Maynes/Modeste Illych Tchaikovsky/Consort* – *MARC* is a gym teacher,
35+, not un-charming, but a man who honestly believes valuable life lessons
can be learned in dodgeball. *MODESTE* is a businessman who wishes to be an
artist. Sharp, a little sly, and not sentimental: a good balance for his
brother. *CONSORT* is in service to the Sugar Plum Fairy. *Must also sing
as part of a three-part a cappella vocal arrangement of “The Dance of the
Sugar Plum Fairy”.*

*Sasha Illynovna Davidov/Sugar Plum Fairy* –  40s. *SASHA*, sister to Pyotr
and Modeste, is placid and quite beautiful: a truly porcelain face, which
seems to rest in a fixed calm. A riding injury has left her in constant
pain and hopelessly addicted to opium. *SUGAR PLUM FAIRY* – a version of
the fairy from “The Nutcracker”. She is somewhat ethereal and, for the
purposes of the play, represents a vision of grace, innocence, and
redemption. *Must be able to dance en pointe.*

*Blaine/Vladimir “Bob” Levovitch Davidov* – Early 20s. *BLAINE* is a young
gay runaway, working for a phone sex chatline. Unpredictable, a little
lost, always testing boundaries. Coltish, boyishly sexy. *BOB*, son of
Sasha, nephew to Modeste and Tchaikovsky, a still unformed and naive young
man; unsure which road to take, unsure if he will take any. *Must also sing
as part of a three-part a cappella vocal arrangement of “The Dance of the
Sugar Plum Fairy”.*
