Auditions for the area premiere of RIDE THE CYCLONE at Steamer No.10
Theatre

Directed by: Brian McBride Land
Musical Direction by: Wendy Camilli

In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a
Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller
coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each
to tell a story to win a prize like no other -- the chance to return to
life.

A funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!

Roles available:
• THE AMAZING KARNAK
Male - 35-50
non-singing role; the narrator; a mechanical fortune-telling machine.
• OCEAN O'CONNELL ROSENBERG
Female - 18-25
The leader of the group, relentlessly competitive, sometimes cruel, though
she sees herself as a virtuous person; high Broadway mix, with a pop
quality; big range.
• MISHA BACHINSKI
Male - 18-25
Adopted from the Ukraine as a teenager; he has a thick Ukrainian dialect
and a lot of rage; he is obsessed by Gansgsta Rap (an enormous fan of the
auto-tune phenomena); there is a hidden, soulful romantic side; Baritenor
with the ability to sing lyrical Ukrainian folk music as well as rap.
• NOEL GRUBER
Male - 18-25
The only gay kid in Uranium; never had a relationship; obsessed by French
New Wave cinema, he has fantasies of dying a tragic death. Must be able to
sing in the style of a French chanteuse.
• RICKY POTTS
Male - 18-25
Begins the play wordless and on crutches; suffers from a degenerative
disease that has left him speechless and mostly immobile; he discovers at
the beginning of the play that in this strange purgatory, he has regained
all of these abilities. Baritone rock voice; basic accordion and/or
tumbling a plus.
• CONSTANCE BLACKWOOD
Female - 18-25
Has a very deep self-loathing. Will do anything for Ocean's friendship and
allows herself to be used as a doormat; dubbed "the nicest girl in town," a
title she secretly despises. Very likable comic actress; alto belt, with a
rock range.
