SHORT SYNOPSIS:
HEATHERS: The Musical is the darkly delicious satire based on the iconic teen-comedy movie of the 80s. Veronica Sawyer, a brainy teenage misfit, hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. Once there, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously sexy new kid, J.D. But before she can get comfortable atop the food chain, she runs afoul of Heather Chandler, the almighty queen of the school. Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather’s aerobicized ass…but J.D. has other plans, as a series of murders of Westerberg’s most popular students reveals the real-cut throat nature of teenage popularity.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
NOTE: All roles are open to any ethnicity. All roles are singing roles. Due the mature nature of this show, we are only considering adult actors who are 18+ at the time of the auditions.
WARNING: HEATHERS is a dark comedy satire that deals frankly and sometimes comically with subjects such as murder, suicide, bullying, teen sexuality, and drug use. Please seriously, and honestly, consider your ability and comfort dealing with these issues before committing to your involvement in the show.
In particular, you should note the following:

Veronica and JD are required to kiss multiple times and be involved a simulated sex scene.
Some of the other Westerberg High Students are required to “make-out” at the party.
Kurt, Ram, JD and Veronica are required to appear on stage in their underwear.
Martha and Heather McNamara attempt suicide in the show.
Veronica fakes her own suicide.
Veronica, Kurt, and Ram are involved in a scene where a drunken assault is implied.
Heather Chandler, Kurt, and Ram are murdered in the show.
Martha is verbally bullied about her weight.
Many characters sing about topics of a sexual nature.
Some scenes depict the use of alcohol and drugs.
Some scenes and songs include coarse language and adult themes.

SHORT SYNOPSIS:
PLAZA SUITE is composed of three acts all set in Suite 719 of New York City’s Plaza Hotel. The first act, Visitor From Mamaroneck, introduces the audience to not-so-blissfully wedded couple Sam and Karen Nash, who are revisiting their honeymoon suite in an attempt by Karen to bring the love back into their marriage but her plan backfires and the two become embroiled in a heated argument about whether or not Sam is having an affair.
The second act, Visitor from Hollywood, involves a meeting between movie producer Jesse Kiplinger and his old flame, suburban housewife Muriel Tate. Muriel has come for nothing more than a chat between old friends. Jesse, however, has other plans in mind and repeatedly attempts to seduce her.
The third act, Visitor from Forest Hills, revolves around married couple Roy and Norma Hubley on their daughter Mimsey’s wedding day. In a rush of nervousness, Mimsey has locked herself in the suite’s bathroom and refuses to leave. Her parents make frantic attempts to cajole her into attending her wedding while the gathered guests await the trio’s arrival downstairs.

Master playwright, August Wilson, blends naturalism, mysticism, and magical realism to explore the experience of a Black community at the turn of the 20th century. It’s 1904, and Citizen Barlow comes seeking asylum in the Pittsburgh Hill District home of matriarch and spiritual advisor Aunt Ester. She sets him off on a spiritual journey aboard the legendary slave ship Gem of the Ocean to visit the home of the ancestors, the City of Bones. Confronted with the plight of those who came before him, Citizen must come to terms with his own guilt in this unsettling but compelling story filled with humor and heart that is a touchstone for everything else that Wilson has written.

NEW WORKS FESTIVAL INFORMATION:
This annual festival nurtures emerging and established playwrights to develop new scripts. 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.
As 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.
SHOW 1: AS WE LIKE IT
By Oded Gross
Stage Reading on Friday, March 27, 2026
Directed by Noah Wagner
SHORT SYNOPSIS:
As 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. The play explores the danger and necessity of self-made fictions and asks when stories protect us and when they put everything at risk.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
ROSE (F, 20s): A young Jewish woman.
AVRAM (M, 40s): Rose’s uncle.
MIRIAM (F, late teens): Avram’s daughter.
IDIS (F, 30s): A Jewish woman.

One four-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the president unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven brilliant and beleaguered women he relies upon most risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the commander-in-chief out of trouble. A broad, zany, old-school comedy that earned three 2022 Tony nominations.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:

STEPHANIE: (F, 25-60) His Secretary. Struggling to stand amongst the giants. Easily intimidated, but resilient. Book-smart, not people-smart. Completely uninhibited and primal in the right circumstances.
DUSTY: (F, 20-40) His dalliance. Farm Girl. Also, in STEM. Also, a Cheerleader. A little ditzy, but that plays into her immense charm & confidence. Open-minded on plenty of fronts, and ready to play ball (and with balls)
BERNADETTE: (F, 35-55) His Lesbian, incarcerated sister. Straight out of Prison. Black Sheep. Narcotic Saleswoman (and great at it). Got a guy for everything. Vengeful against the system she was born into.
CHRIS: (F, 25-45): A journalist and nursing mother of twins. Hard-Earned Senior Reporter. Crafty. Observant and quick to act. Under-utilized and written off as a new mom
MARGARET: (F, 40-60) His Wife. Calculated. Fighting against the intimidation her accomplishments bring. Elegance masking a level of simmering rage at all times.

LINK TO AUDITIONS SIDES

SHORT SYNOPSIS:
It is 1183 in the medieval Angevin Empire. 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.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
NOTE: A British Dialect may be required.
HENRY II (M, 50 – 60, all ethnicities.)
King 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.)
ELEANOR (F, 60 – 68, all ethnicities.)
Queen 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.
RICHARD (M, 25 – 35, all ethnicities.)
The 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.)
GEOFFREY (M, 20 – 25, all ethnicities.)
The 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.
JOHN (M, 16 – 25 to play a 16 y.o, all ethnicities.)
The 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.
ALAIS (Pronounced “Alice”) (F, 20 – 25, all ethnicities.)
Daughter 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.)
PHILIP (M, 18 – 24, all ethnicities.)
The 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.)

SHORT SYNOPSIS:
Its 1999, (before kids had cell phones), and Kimberly has all the usual problems of a typical 16 year old; making friends at her new school, dealing with her dysfunctional family… and a rare genetic condition where she ages four and a half times faster than her peers. 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’.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
KIMBERLY 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.)
BUDDY 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.
PATTIE 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.
DEBRA (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.
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.)

SHORT SYNOPSIS:
Godspell 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.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
All roles are available, open to any age (18+), ethnicity, or gender.
In 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.
JESUS (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”
JOHN 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.”
NICK (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.”
TELLY (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.”
GEORGE (Tenor, 18+): The comedian, the class clown. The guy who can do a hundred voices and imitations. He sings “Light of the World.”
ANNA 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.”
LINDSAY (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.”
UZO (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.”
MORGAN (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.”
CELISSE (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.”
Two to four ensemble will be added to cast at the director’s discretion.

AUDITION REQUIREMENTS:

SHORT SYNOPSIS:
Set in 1965 England just as capital punishment is abolished, the play follows Harry Wade, the country’s second-best executioner, now a pub landlord in Oldham. When a menacing stranger named Mooney arrives, his presence triggers the disappearance of Harry’s daughter, forcing Harry into a dark, comedic, and brutal showdown regarding the true nature of justice.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
HARRY (M, 50s to 60s; character of British Caucasian decent): He is bombastic, authoritative, and often a bully. He takes immense pride in Being England’s “second-best” executioner in the country, though he is clearly jealous of the number one. (Role requires a British accent.)
ALICE (F, 50s to 60s; character of British Caucasian decent): Harry’s resilient and no-nonsense wife. She helps with the pub and serves as a grounded counterpoint to Harry’s arrogance, though she often bears the brunt of his insults and dismissive behavior. (Role requires a British accent.)
SHIRLEY (F, 18 – 25 to play 15; character of British Caucasian decent): Their 15-year-old daughter often described as “mopey” and “moody”. She is shy and sensitive, seeking her own voice while living under her parents’ dominating presence. (Role requires a British accent.)
SYD (M, 40s – 60; character of British Caucasian decent): Harry’s former assistant executioner who was fired for “sexual impropriety” involving a corpse. He is mousy, comical, and somewhat bumbling, carrying a mix of shame and a desire for revenge against Harry. (Role requires a British accent.)
MOONEY (M, Thirties; character of British Caucasian decent): A mysterious and menacing young Londoner who arrives at the pub. He is secretive, calculating, manipulative and fast-talking. He disrupts the pub’s routine with a veiled sense of danger. (Role requires a British accent.)
PIERREPOINT (M, Late 60s to 70s; character of British Caucasian decent): England’s real-life most famous hangman and Harry’s professional rival. He makes a late but commanding appearance that highlights Harry’s petty insecurities by comparison. (Role requires a British accent.)
INSPECTOR FRY (M, 50s to 60s; character of British Caucasian decent): A local police inspector who is more interested in drinking at the pub than doing his job. He has known Harry for a long time and tends to turn a blind eye to the pub’s goings-on. (Role requires a British accent.)
ARTHUR (M, 60s to 70s; character of British Caucasian decent): An elderly, nearly deaf pub regular who needs everything repeated to him and often gets it wrong anyway. (Role requires a British accent.)
CHARLIE (M, 40s; character of British Caucasian decent): A loyal pub regular who often explains the ongoing conversations to Arthur. (Role requires a British accent.)
BILL (M, 40s; character of British Caucasian decent): Another local patron who rounds out the sycophantic chorus of regulars that Harry orders around. (Role requires a British accent.)
CLEGG (M, 20s; character of British Caucasian decent): An opportunistic baby-faced journalist who visits the pub to interview Harry about the end of capital punishment. (Role requires a British accent.)

PERFORMANCE DATES: Oct. 10 – Nov. 15, 2026

An unlikely musical comedy inspired by an earnest 1936 public service film of the same name, this raucous spoof takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral filled with evil jazz music, sex and violence. You won’t be able to resist the goofy charm of REEFER MADNESS, an addictive, hilarious, and highly stylized musical romp with a sly satirical political commentary that will leave you wanting more.
