An ill-equipped and understaffed theatre company mounts a full production of the classic biblical epic made famous by the Charlton Heston film classic\, complete with chariot race\, sea battle\, stage combat\, and actors struggling with professional rivalries and offstage romances. Can this plucky band of thespians retell one of the largest stories ever told? \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nNOTE: Looking to cast wonderful character actors with imaginative minds\,  great comic timing\, and high energy physical comedy skills! \nAll ethnicities and gender identities will be considered for all roles. \nDANIEL VEIL   (M\, 20s – 40s) The owner\, producer\, director of the Daniel Veil Theatre Collective (who also happens to be the star of this production).  He is highly confident of his theatrical abilities (not so much in his ability to win the love of Crystal\, his leading lady).  He plays Judah Ben Hur\, Melchior\, and a Nubian dancer. \nCRYSTAL SINGER (F\, 20s) Pretty\, sweet\, and smart leading lady (and object of Daniel’s affections).  She plays Mary\, Tirzah\, Esther\, Ancient Slave\, Nubian Dancer\, Catalinya\, Naboth\, and Mrs. Pilate.  Ability to do a wide variety of characters and accents a necessity. (Must be comfortable with kissing Omar.) \nOMAR LORD (M\, 20s – 30s) Very good looking local weatherman/game show host type making his debut in this production and the object of Crystal’s affections.  He plays Messala\, Jesus\, Caspar\, Archangel Gabriel\, Galley Captain\, Roman Captain\, Galley Slave\, Nubian Dancer and Valentinyo. Ability to do a wide variety of characters and accents a necessity. (Must be comfortable with kissing Crystal.) \nEDGAR T. CHESTERFIELD (M\, 40s – Death) Classically trained Shakespearean actor past his prime.  He plays Balthasar\, Sarah\, Centurion/Slave-Driver\, Quintus Arrius\, and Pontius Pilate. Ability to do a wide variety of characters and accents a necessity. \n1 MALE and 1 FEMALE ENSEMBLE/UNDERSTUDY (20s-40s) These understudies will not only be understudying all the roles\, but will appear in every performance as “backstage crew that are understudies.” These will be very funny additions to the main cast. \nBEGINNING REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:\n\n\nBen-Hur-Beg.-Reh.-Schedule-V.2Download\n\n\nINFORMATION ABOUT THE AUDITION PROCESS:\n\n\nINSTRUCTDownload\n\n\nSIDES:\n\n\nCrystal-SidesDownload\n\n\n\nDaniel-SidesDownload\n\n\n\nOmar-SidesDownload\n\n\n\nEdgar-SidesDownload

She has now quickly engaged herself to marry Hal’s father but when she discovers the stash of cash\, she demands a third of the spoils. Dennis and Hal’s tricky situation is worsened further by the arrival of Inspector Truscott\, who strangely disguises himself as a man from the local Water Board.

SWEAT explores the tension within the group portraying how the themes of identity\, politics\, and race surface within friends now faced with sudden job insecurity.  \nThe play opens in 2008\, where we meet Jason and Chris as they individually speak to their parole officer\, Evan. A chance encounter between the two former friends brings them back to face the event that completely altered the course of their lives and the lives of those closest to them. As the play switches back to 2000\, we meet best friends Tracey\, Cynthia\, and Jessie who all work together and love to hang out at the local watering hole.The bartender Stan\, who used to work at the factory with them until he suffered an injury and the busboy Oscar with rising aspirations. Conflicts emerge as upcoming promotions and rumors of cut wages threaten the friends’ loyalty. We are left hoping that the group is able to make amends before any lasting damage is done.  \nNOTE TO ACTORS: This show contains many racially charged moments and language. The characters of Jason and Tracey in particular use racially charged language. Jason will have to say n****. This role in particular will require an elevated level of maturity. All moments and language will be handled with care. There will be many discussions regarding race\, xenophobia\, and how Lynn Nottage intended for her work to present these themes\, amongst others. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nEVAN (M\, 40’s)  African American. The parole officer for both Jason and Chris. He is a straight\, no chaser kinda guy who  believes in tough love and does not back down.  \nJASON (M\, 21/29)  White American of German descent. Chris’s best friend and Tracey’s son.  He is very proud of himself and his family history. He tends not to be aware of how the way he says things affects others\, nor does he care until forced to reflect on himself. \nCHRIS  (M\, 21/29)  African-American. Cynthia and Brucie’s son and Jason’s best friend. Trying to navigate his way through a world not built in his favor. He is stuck between following in the footsteps of his father as a factory employee\, or heeding his mother’s advice and going to school. \nSTAN (M\, 50s)  White American of German descent. Stan is a former steel worker who became a bartender after getting injured at the plant leaving him with a permanent limp. He manages the bar where everyone hangs out and does his very best to keep the collective peace. He is the glue that keeps the group together.  \nOSCAR  (M\, 22/30)  Colombian-American. An employee of the bar\, Oscar is a hardworking young man with aspirations to rise far above his current situation. Always considered an outsider and not afforded many job opportunities\, he crosses the picket line when the plant offers more than what he makes at the bar.  \nTRACEY  (F\, 45/53)  White American of German descent. Jason’s mom and best friend of Cynthia and Jessie. Tracey is a strong willed\, quick tongued\, no nonsense woman\, also one of the hardest workers at Olstead’s. Opinionated and proud of the work her family has done\, she has been working at the plant for over twenty years\, following her father and grandfather.. Much like her son\, she doesn’t care if what she says offends you or hurts your feelings. She feels betrayed by Cynthia after she receives a  promotion.  \nCYNTHIA  (F\, 45/53)  African-American. Chris’s mom and best friends with Tracey and Jessie. She is determined to not only do well for herself\, but to also see her son Chris do well. She is ambitious and applies for the promotion that moves her up to a managerial position. But when management wants to cut wages\, Cynthia finds herself pitted against her friends. Cynthia is compelling and full of layers and fully understands the pressure and importance of being a black woman in a white world. \nJESSIE (F\, 40’s)  Italian-American. Good friend of Cynthia and Tracey. Jessie tries her best to remain neutral between Cynthia and Tracey\, but later this neutrality is broken. She struggles with alcohol and inadvertently is often the comic relief with a glass of something always near. She’s forced to reckon with her failed dreams of wanting more for her life after landing job at the plant and never leaving.  \nBRUCIE (M 40’s) African-American. Chris’s father and Cynthia’s estranged husband. He has fallen on hard times and becomes involved with drugs\, although he starts a rehab program.

Transfemme or non-binary performers\, 18-40 to play late 20s-Early 40s. Ethnicity open).  Hedwig is a struggling\, queer nightlife performer who is on a journey to find her other half. She is grunge; a dreamer who has been disillusioned by broken relationships. Seeking a captivating and energetic performer who is comfortable in their body and who can dexterously shift from persona to persona (Hedwig’s mother\, husband\, rock icon ex-lover\, Tommy Gnosis.) (Role requires a German/Eastern European Accent. Very strong rock/pop/soul/R&B tenor. Vocal range: A2 to B4) \nPLEASE NOTE: the role of Hedwig deals with references to sexual abuse\, the body\, and genital-centered discussions of gender. Performs outside the gender binary. \nThere is partial nudity and intimacy that can be adjusted to the comfort level of the performer. \nYITZHAK (Supporting. Female or non-binary performers\, 18-30\, to play late 20s-30s. Ethnicity open.) Hedwig’s partner in crime. Yitzhak is a phenomenal entertainer on their own and is currently Hedwig’s backup singer. They are punk\, grunge\, with a hint of queer glamor. Bound by the constraints of traditional masculinity but longs to explore a more feminine side. Seeking adventurous and uninhibited performers with strong comedic timing. Ability to play basic percussion instruments (tambourine\, maracas\, etc\,) is a plus. (Role requires a Balkan/Eastern European Accent. Any body type. Strong rock/pop/soul/R&B vocalist.  Vocal range: high belt\, D4 to A5) \nBEGINNING REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:\n\n\nHedwig-and-the-Angry-Inch-Beg.-Rehearsal-Schedule-V.2Download
