Word arrives on Inishmaan that the Hollywood director Robert Flaherty is coming to the neighboring island of Inishmore to film Man of Aran and is seeking locals to be in the movie. Young Billy Claven\, who is known to the townspeople as Cripple Billy\, sees this as a chance to escape the tedium\, poverty\, and gossip of Inishmaan. A dark comedy full of colorful characters\, humor and poignancy. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nNOTE: All roles require a mild Irish dialect.   \nAll ethnicities are encouraged to audition for any role. \nBILLY CLAVEN (M\, 18 – 25 to play 17/18) A boy with physical deformities that render both his left arm and right leg useless. Over the course of the play\, Billy attempts to achieve something\, anything\, by sailing to Inishmore to audition for a role in a film.

Shy and unhappy\, he wants to be seen as more than his physical handicap and his tragic past. \nKATE OSBORNE (F\, 45 – 68 to play mid-60s) One of Billy’s anxious\, adoptive aunts\, Kate is the most worrisome and the most obsessive. She has a habit of talking to stones when she is under stress. \nEILEEN OSBOURNE (F\, 45 – 68 to play mid-60s) Billy’s other adoptive aunt.

She is a compulsive candy-eater when she is under stress. \nJOHNNYPATEENMIKE (M\, 45 – 68 to play mid-60s) The town gossip\, he embodies the Irish tradition of storytelling. Bitter and full of his own self-importance\, he brings the only kind of news available or interesting to the people of Inishmaan – and he expects payment in kind. He is not above lurking in the shadows to get the scoop on local gossip. He has a combative relationship with his 90 year old alcoholic mother\, whom he encourages to die on a regular basis.  \nHELEN (F\, 18 – 25 to play 17/18) Fiery\, fierce\, and just plain mean in one moment\, begrudgingly caring in the next\, Helen is a young woman who is not to be messed with. Her self-confidence is part of what makes her so attractive to Billy. She is a brutally comic character who throws eggs at priests\, stomps on geese\, and beheads a cat before the play is through. \nBARTLEY (M\, 18-24 to play 16/17) Helen’s not-too-bright younger brother\, he is a rural teenage boy who obsesses about telescopes and sweets\, asks too many questions\, incurs Helen’s wrath on a regular basis\, and is fascinated by the island’s few unusual qualities. He may represent the boy Billy would have been in a different life. \nBABBYBOBBY BENNET (M\, early 30s) Handsome\, muscular. One of Inishmaan’s resident boatmen\, his wife’s premature death has taken a toll on him. He can be gruff\, but there is a sadness in him. He is the only character that is able to truly sympathize with Billy. \nDOCTOR McSHARRY (M or F\, early 40s) Professional\, yet exasperated\, McSharry is the island doctor who can oftentimes see the extent of the absurdity on the island. McSharry can be cast as either a male or female character. \nMAMMY O’DOUGAL (F\, 55-70s to play early 90s) Johnny’s ancient\, alcoholic\, foul-mouthed mother. Johnny would love nothing more than for Mammy to up and die. Thus\, she is constantly engaged in spiteful banter with him. Strong comedic role for someone who can play older.

Bb2 – G4 Tenor \nKATE MONSTER (mid 20’s): A kindergarten teaching assistant\, a bit older than Princeton.

Wears the trousers in her relationship with Brian. “She’s super smart.

When forced to hide in a convent\, she initially refuses to embrace her lifestyle but learns to embrace it when she works with the choir. Loud-mouthed\, and sassy\, but ultimately caring. \nMother Superior (F – 50-70\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: D3-E5) The head of the convent\, sarcastic and a bit stiff. Extremely protective about keeping her sisters away from the outside world\, which puts her in direct opposition to Deloris and her musical teachings. \nSister Mary Robert (F – 16-25\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: F#3-A5) A postulant\, abandoned as a baby and raised at the convent. Shy and soft-spoken but singing with Deloris lets her find her voice. Her wallflower lifestyle has made her live a shell of a life. \nSister Mary Patrick (F – 35-50\, All Ethnicities) A nun of the convent. Consistently perky\, enthusiastic\, and easily excitable. \nSister Mary Lazarus (F – 50-70\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: F3-B4) A nun of the convent and the head of the choir.

Constantly concerned with financial matters\, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood. Speaks with the soulful bass-baritone of Barry White or a late night R&B radio station DJ. \nCurtis (M – 30-40\, Ethnicity: African American\, Vocal Range: A2-Ab4) A Club owner\, notorious gangster\, and Deloris’s boyfriend. Cocky and controlling\, always on the verge of violence. \nEddie Souther (M – 25-35\,  Ethnicity: African American\, Vocal Range: Ab2-B4) The desk chief at the Philadelphia police station and a high school classmate of Deloris who helps get her into hiding. Faces a lot of nerves when under pressure\, causing him to sweat profusely. He still yearns for Deloris after all these years\, and dreams of being her hero. \nTJ (M – 16-30\, Ethnicity: African American\, Vocal Range: Db3-Eb5) Curtis’s nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact\, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss. \nJoey (M – 30-40\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: Bb2-Eb5) One of Curtis’s thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies man. \nPablo (M – 25-40\, Ethnicity: Latinx\, Vocal Range: C4-F5) One of Curtis’s thugs. A natural follower\, constantly speaks Spanish. \nSister Mary Martin-of-tours (F– 40-60\, All Ethnicities) A Nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world\, but has her moments of surprising clarity. \nSister Mary Theresa (F– 60-70\, All Ethnicities) A nun of the convent\, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at first glance but secretly packs a punch. \nMichelle (F– 20-30\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: Bb3-F5) One of Deloris’s back-up singers. Lippy and always quick with a retort. \nTina (F– 20-30\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: Ab3-F5) One of Deloris’s back-up singers. A little thick and naïve. \nErnie (M – 25-35\, All Ethnicities) One of Curtis’s thugs. Initially thought to be a mindless yes-man\, he turns out to be an undercover police informant. \nEnsemble (All Ages\, All Ethnicities) Nuns; Bar Denizens (Bar Patron\, Waitress\, Pool Player\, Drag Queen); Homeless People; Fantasy Dancers; Alter Boys

Sides will be provided at the audition for cold readings. \nSHORT SYNOPSIS:  \nFrom the master playwright of Fences\, August Wilson\, comes this story in his decade-by-decade exploration of the black experience in America.  In a Pittsburgh tenement in 1948\, friends gather to mourn the sudden death of a blues guitarist who has died on the verge of his musical success.  Flashing back to the busy week preceding Floyd “Schoolboy” Barton’s demise\, we learn the reasons for his tragic fall.  Mixing the genres of dark elegy\, bawdy comedy\, and mystery\, Schoolboy’s story has a depth and richness that will touch the souls of all Americans who have fallen just short of their dreams. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nLOUSIE (F\, 40+\, African American) The no-nonsense matriarch of the ensemble; she has her nose in everyone’s business\, and though sometimes misguided\, her advice\, actions and intentions are mostly for good. A realist who knows what it is to be used up and left\, yet somehow still glows with a few embers of life’s possibilities; she is fiercely devoted to Vera. \nCANEWELL (M\, 35+\, African American) A harmonica player.  Floyd’s best friend yet still feeling the sting of Floyd’s betrayal.  He is edgy\, cautious and has a big heart.  He is fiercely devoted to Vera. (Ability to play harmonica a plus.) \nRED CARTER (M\, 35+\, African American) Floyd’s friend and drummer.  A simple\, steady man who indulges superstitions.  Currently in the middle of seven years of bad luck because of a mirror he broke.  He hails from Alabama and truly enjoys a good time. \nVERA (F\, 30-40\, African American) A true woman in temperament.  Necessary independence\, body and soul.  She is still in love with Floyd while gratefully indulging the love of Canewell.  She is fiercely protective of her own heart ever being broken by Floyd again. \nHEDLEY (M\, 60+\, African American) A Hill District entrepreneur where he sells this and that\, including sandwiches from chickens which he raises and butchers himself.  He has Haitian roots\, and increasingly suffers from the ravages of tuberculosis fever\, which drives his vision of a past and future glory for the black man\, including the realization of his dream to have a son to carry on his legacy. \nFLOYD BARTON (M\, 30+\, African American) a blues singer and guitarist with big aspirations.  He has deep flaws\, yet benefits from a personal epiphany as a result of his recent stay in prison.  He is a deeply talented musician\, passionate\, hopeful and as in love with Vera as much as he is in love with his own ambition.  (Ability to play blues guitar a plus.) \nRUBY (F\, 20 – 29\, African American) Louise’s niece.  Young and fiercely independent.  Fatally attractive and in search of solutions for her already deeply troubled young life. \nJOIN OUR FACEBOOK EVENT AND LET US KNOW YOU ARE COMING!
