Reading 100+ scripts a year\, the New Works Literary Committee chooses two top plays (one local to southern California\, one non-local) to receive a stage reading with critical feedback from professional theatre critics and an audience talk back. \nAs it is a stage reading\, there will only be 3-4 rehearsals\, and actors will not need to memorize their scripts.  The stage reading of their show will only happen one night\, and there will be a talk back with the audience after the reading. \nSHOW 1:  AS WE LIKE IT\nBy Oded Gross \nStage Reading on Friday\, March 27\, 2026 \nDirected by Noah Wagner \nSHORT SYNOPSIS:  \nAs We Like It follows the story of a woman named Rose\, who tries to motivate her family to rehearse in the serenity and privacy of the woods a production of Shakespeare’s As You Like It to be performed at the wedding of the Duke\, and his betrothed\, the Fairy Queen. The only problem is there is no Fairy Queen. There is no Duke. They are not in a serene forest. This Midsummer Night’s / As You Like It delusion is Rose’s shield against a brutal reality she doesn’t wish to confront — she and her family are in hiding from the Nazis in the grim forests of Poland during World War 2. Her theatrical fantasy is a shield against unbearable reality\, but her family fears her delusion may get them killed.

Fifty-year-old Henry II of England seeks to establish a line of succession and summons his family for Christmas at his castle in Chinon\, Touraine. He wants his youngest son\, John\, to inherit his throne\, while his estranged wife\, Eleanor of Aquitaine\, reprieved from imprisonment in England by Henry for the holiday\, favours their eldest surviving son\, Richard\, a proven warrior. Henry invites Philip II of France\, son and successor of Louis VII\, Eleanor’s first husband\, to settle some business. Louis had made a treaty with Henry pledging Philip’s half-sister Alais\, currently Henry’s mistress\, in troth to Henry’s future heir; Philip demands either a wedding or the return of her dowry\, the strategically important county of Vexin near Paris. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nNOTE: A British Dialect may be required. \nHENRY II (M\, 50 – 60\, all ethnicities.) \nKing of England. Although aging\, Henry acts like a much younger man. He has boisterous energy\, a forbidding temper\, and a relentless drive that makes him a formidable opponent. He is determined to have John\, his youngest son\, as his heir\, but he knows that if he does his remaining family could start a civil war. He is in love with his much younger mistress\, Alais\, the daughter of the late King of France\, but has no qualms using her as a bargaining chip in his plans. (Role may require an Intimate Moment with the character of Alais – kissing.) \nELEANOR (F\, 60 – 68\, all ethnicities.) \nQueen of England\, Duchess of Aquitaine\, & former Queen of France\, Henry’s estranged wife\, has been imprisoned under house arrest for ten years for supporting her sons in an unsuccessful rebellion. A decade older than Henry\, she’s always been his equal in intelligence\, wit\, & ambition. Her love for him is conflicted: she cares deeply for him but fiercely resists being disregarded or subordinate. Years ago\,  when Henry turned to a mistress\, Eleanor devoted herself to raising Richard\, her son. \nRICHARD (M\, 25 – 35\, all ethnicities.) \nThe eldest surviving son of Henry and Eleanor\, Richard has been a famous soldier since his sixteenth birthday. He’s impressive and domineering but has a tense relationship with both of his parents. Richard is his mother’s favorite\, yet he’s wary of her. He wonders if she genuinely loves and supports him or uses him as a tool in her conflict with his father. Richard feels neglected and excluded by Henry and silently yearns for his father’s approval but covers his pain with his warrior’s demeanor. (Role may require some Same-Sex Intimacy with the Character of Philip – Kissing/Embracing.) \nGEOFFREY (M\, 20 – 25\, all ethnicities.) \nThe second eldest surviving son of Henry and Eleanor\, Geoffrey is attractive\, charming\, and the most intelligent of the brothers. His parents\, however\, never consider him in the running to be king— even though he possesses the intellectual promise of a great monarch. His feelings of being neglected have made him a cold amoral schemer who constantly changes his alliances between Richard and John\, hoping to disgrace them both so he can gain the throne and his parents’ love and respect. \nJOHN (M\, 16 – 25 to play a 16 y.o\, all ethnicities.) \nThe youngest son of Henry and Eleanor\, John is Henry’s favorite and his chosen heir. Though he can be sweetly charming when he wishes\, he has been spoiled rotten by his father\, and often taunts his brothers\, knowing that Henry will back him up. However\, beneath his boasting\, he is deeply insecure\, as he knows he has neither Richard’s brawn nor Geoffrey’s brain. His lack of maturity and desperate desire to come out on top lead him to trust anyone who offers him a helping hand. \nALAIS (Pronounced “Alice”) (F\, 20 – 25\, all ethnicities.) \nDaughter of the late King of France and half-sister to King Philip. She is deeply in love with Henry\, many years her senior\, and has been his mistress for seven years. In that time\, she has grown from a simple teenage girl to a gentle and thoughtful young woman with a quiet strength. Though at times she tries to match Henry’s family in their ruthlessness\, she knows her kind nature will not allow her to truly compete with them. (Role may require an Intimate Moment with the character of Henry II – kissing.) \nPHILIP (M\, 18 – 24\, all ethnicities.) \nThe young King of France\, half-brother to Alais. Philip has come to Henry’s court to demand that a treaty made with his late father be fulfilled. He is relatively new to his throne and initially behaves with a commanding dignity\, showing little emotion. When his negotiations with Henry fail\, he encourages the rebellious thoughts of Henry’s sons\, making empty promises to each in turn. Philip is especially close to Richard\, who was his lover two years ago. (Role may require some Same-Sex Intimacy with the Character of Richard – Kissing/Embracing.) \nBEGINNING REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:\n\n\nThe Lion in Winter Beg. Reh.

Feeling trapped inside the frail physical body of an elderly woman\, Kim meets Jeff\, another young misfit at school\, and an uncertain relationship develops between them. Soon her life goes “akimbo\,” contending with a hypochondriac mother\, a rarely sober father\, a scam-artist aunt\, her own mortality\, and most terrifying of all\, the possibility of first love. A dark comedy that gives a quirky twist to the term ‘coming of age story’. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nKIMBERLY LEVACO (F\, 60+ to play 16 y.o.): Kimberly is sixteen but appears much older because of a rare (fictional) aging disorder. She’s intelligent\, perceptive\, and often wiser than the adults around her. She longs for normal teenage experiences: friends\, romance\, and a sense of belonging\, but she’s also aware that her time is limited. The actor should be able to express both the physical presence of an older woman and the emotional energy of a teenager. (Intimacy Moment: This character shares a brief on-stage kiss with Jeff.) \nBUDDY LEVACO (M\, Mid 30s-40s): Kimberly’s father. A man with a gentle heart and a weak backbone. He drinks too much and uses humor to hide his sense of failure. Buddy is not cruel\, but he’s unreliable and emotionally lost. He wants to do right by his family but lacks the maturity or stability to make lasting change. His love for Kimberly is genuine\, but his inability to take responsibility often undermines it.   \nPATTIE LEVACO (F\, Mid 30s – 40s): Kimberly’s mother: High-strung\, self-centered\, and constantly overwhelmed\, Pattie has a hard time accepting reality. She masks her fear and guilt with sarcasm and self-pity. There’s love beneath her chaos\, but she doesn’t know how to show it. This role requires solid comedic timing. Pattie is 8 months pregnant throughout the duration of the show. She has bandages wrapping up both hands\, and walks with crutches for several scenes. \nDEBRA (F\, 30 – 40): Pattie’s sister and Kimberly’s aunt. Debra is unapologetically herself — bold\, funny\, and always scheming for her next move. An ex (and possibly future) con. Beneath her chaotic energy is a deep need for connection and belonging. She’s both comic relief and a surprising source of heart. \n  JEFF (M\, 18 – 25 to play 16 y.o.): A classmate of Kimberly’s. Jeff is intelligent\, quirky\, and endearingly awkward. A lover of D&D and the “puzzleistic arts”.  He shares Kimberly’s sense of humor\, and becomes her closest friend and potential love interest. His presence gives her a glimpse of a normal teenage experience. (Intimacy Moment: This character shares a brief on-stage kiss with Kimberly.) \nBEGINNING REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:\n\n\nKimberly Akimbo Beg. Reh. Schedule Actor Ver.Download

An accompanist will be provided\, so please bring sheet music that is in your key\, clearly prepared\, indicating where you start and stop. No tracks or a cappella. \nBe prepared to dance. \nSides for cold readings will be provided at the auditions/callbacks. \nSHORT SYNOPSIS:\nGodspell is a musical that retells the parables from the Gospel of Matthew through song\, dance\, and comedic storytelling\, focusing on themes of friendship\, love\, and community\, and culminates in the Passion of Christ. A group of eclectic disciples helps Jesus bring these timeless lessons to life using creative games and a blend of musical styles\, ultimately forming a community around him\, with the narrative moving toward his crucifixion. GODSPELL was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner\, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked\, Pippin\, Children of Eden). Boasting a score with chart-topping songs\, a book by a visionary playwright (John-Michael Tebelak)\, GODSPELL is a sensation that continues to touch audiences. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nAll roles are available\, open to any age (18+)\, ethnicity\, or gender. \nIn addition to each individual being able to stand out\, it is important that all cast members are able to function as an ensemble\, without any feeling that any one (other than Jesus) stands out above the others. Other important traits to have for the roles are a sense of comic ability\, and some skill at improvisation. \nJESUS (Tenor\, 18+):  Must be the most charismatic individual in the cast. High energy\, charming\, funny\, gentle\, but with strength. He is the sort of person others instinctively follow.  He sings “Save the People\,” “All for the Best\,” Alas for You\,” and “Beautiful City” \nJOHN THE BAPTIST/JUDAS (Baritone\, 18+): Will perhaps split this role between two actors. He has attributes of both Biblical figures: He is both Jesus’ lieutenant and most ardent disciple\, and the doubter who begins to question and rebel. Like Jesus\, he is also charismatic\, but in more of an overt revolutionary way. Usually played by someone handsome and masculine\, with an undertone of sexuality. He is the most “serious” and intellectual of the group\, though as with all the actors\, he must still possess a good sense of physical comedy. He sings “Prepare Ye\,” “All for the Best\,” and “On the Willows.” \nNICK (Tenor\, 18+):  Very high energy. Impish and playful. In the original\, he might play several musical instruments\, including concertina\, recorder or guitar if the actor has this ability\, but not a requirement of the role. He sings “We Beseech Thee.” \nTELLY (Tenor\, 18+):  Not the brightest in the bunch\, he is a little slow on the uptake. But there is a great sweetness and innocence about him. He sings “All Good Gifts.”  \nGEORGE (Tenor\, 18+):  The comedian\, the class clown. The guy who can do a hundred voices and imitations. He sings “Light of the World.” \nANNA MARIA (Alto\, 18+):  A bit of a tomboy\, but basically open and sweet. Perhaps the youngest of the group. She is the first of the group to commit to following Jesus in the song “Day by Day.” \nLINDSAY (Soprano\, 18+):  The confident one\, the show-off. The first one to volunteer\, sometimes she jumps in before she really understands what’s going on. She sings “Bless the Lord.”  \nUZO (Alto\, 18+):  The shy one. Sometimes a little slow to get things\, but when she does\, she commits all the way. Has an “earth mother” kind of warmth to her. She sings “By My Side.”  \nMORGAN (Alto\, 18+):  Sassy and slightly cynical\, the most urban of the group. Also the “sexy” one\, but her sexiness contains a large element of put-on\, in the manner of Mae West or Madonna. She sings “Turn Back\, O Man.” \nCELISSE (Mezzo-Soprano\, 18+): The female equivalent of the class clown. Goofy and a cut-up. She might play some instruments\, including conga\, ukulele and guitar if they can\, but not a requirement of the role. She sings “Learn Your Lessons Well.” \nTwo to four ensemble will be added to cast at the director’s discretion. \nBEGINNING REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:\n\n\nGodspell Beg.

Amongst the cub reporters and sycophantic pub regulars dying to hear Harry’s reaction to the news\, a peculiar stranger lurks\, with a very different motive for his visit.
