About the show:

Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill: The Musical is an exhilarating new musical inspired by the themes and raw emotions laid bare in Alanis Morissette’s seminal album of the same name.

The Healys appear to be a picture-perfect suburban family – but looks can be deceiving. When the cracks beneath the surface begin to show, they must choose between maintaining the status quo or facing harsh truths about themselves, their community and the world around them.

Mary Jane Healy is a high-achieving homemaker who will do anything for her family, including their adopted African American daughter Frankie, who is struggling to find her place in their lily-white community. But when the Healys’ lives begin to unravel, Mary Jane’s drive to keep her family together threatens to break them apart.

*Content Warning: Please be aware that this show contains adult language and situations. An intimacy director will assist with managing actor care for these scenes.

About The Play

Pesent-day Oklahoma, a young Cherokee lawyer, Sarah Ridge Polson, and her colleague Jim Ross defend the inherent jurisdiction of Cherokee Nation in the U.S. Supreme Court when a non-Indian defendant challenges the Nation’s authority to prosecute non-Indian perpetrators of domestic violence. Their collaboration is juxtaposed with scenes from 1835, when the Cherokee Nation was eight hundred miles to the east in the southern Appalachians. That year, Sarah’s and Jim’s ancestors, historic Cherokee rivals, were bitterly divided over a proposed treaty with the administration of Andrew Jackson, the Treaty of New Echota, which led to the nation’s removal to Oklahoma on the infamous Trail of Tears.

A direct descendant of nineteenth-century Cherokee leaders John Ridge and Major Ridge, Mary Kathryn Nagle has penned a play that twists and turns from violent outbursts to healing monologues, illuminating a provocative double meaning for the sovereignty of both tribal territory and women’s bodies. Taking as its point of departure the story of one lawyer’s passionate defense of the rights of her people to prosecute non-natives who commit crimes on reservations, Sovereignty opens up into an expansive exploration of the circular continuity of history, human memory, and the power of human relationships.​

About the Summer Intensive Season: Theatre Charlotte produces two musical productions over a four-week period, leading off with the Student Theatre Guild production of Big Fish followed by the TCjr production of Matilda Jr. Designers for the summer intensives should be able to create a design that serves each production while creatively finding ways to easily transition from one show to the next. The turn around time between productions is less than one week. For more information on the summer intensive programs, schedules, etc. please visit our website.

Scenic Designers:  Scenic Designers are responsible for bringing the visual elements of the production to life through a creative, well thought out and efficient design that is within the resources and budget set forth by Theatre Charlotte.  We seek designers who can hold fast to strict deadlines and are willing to work within the challenges of the space, budget and limited production personnel. The ability to creatively reuse scenic elements or create ones that can be used for both productions is a bonus. Scenic Designers must have drafting skills with either AutoCad or Vectorworks and be available to assist with set dressing, scenic painting and finishing touches as needed. Pay is $2000 for both designs.

Please include in your application material: 

• Letter of Intent
• Artistic Statement
• Resume (including three references)
• Examples of your work or portfolio link
• Project commitments from June 2026 through July 2026.

Lighting Designer:  Lighting Designers are responsible for reinforcing and enhancing visual and emotional elements of productions through use of theatrical lighting techniques and general illumination.  Our designers must be comfortable on ladders or be willing to work with volunteers who can assist with lighting needs.  Lighting Designers must be available during tech week leading up to opening night, as well as hang and focus as determined in the production schedule. Pay is $2000 for both designs.

About the Show
Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps? That’s just what happens in this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud, 90-minute, gender-bending romp. When her sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula abounds with clever wordplay and quick-change antics. Five actors play over a dozen roles in this bloodcurdlingly hilarious send-up of the literary classic.
