SEEKING

SOLICITOR PEACOCK
Ideally Latina. Female-presenting. 30–60s.

A razor-sharp criminal defense attorney with absolutely no moral filter. Brilliant, intimidating, flamboyant and hilariously unapologetic. Peacock possesses the confidence of someone who always believes they’re the smartest person in the room. Delivers biting one-liners, relishes verbal sparring and treats every interaction like a courtroom cross-examination. The role demands impeccable comic timing and fearless audience engagement.

Seeking a commanding comedic performer with exceptional improvisational skills and strong presence.

PROFESSOR PLUM
Ideally African American. Male-presenting. 30–50s.

An eccentric academic whose confidence vastly exceeds his common sense. Equal parts intellectual, flirtatious and completely ridiculous, Plum can launch into scholarly brilliance one moment before fainting at the sight of blood the next. A gifted physical comedian with rapid-fire wit who plays the absurdity with complete sincerity.

Strong physical comedy, improvisation, and character work required.

COLONEL MUSTARD
Any ethnicity. Male-presenting. 40–60s.

A gruff former military officer convinced he remains the toughest person alive. Blunt, bombastic and proudly old-fashioned, Mustard approaches every situation with absolute confidence—even when he’s spectacularly wrong. A lovable blowhard with impeccable deadpan delivery and excellent comic instincts.

Seeking an actor with strong comic authority and improvisational confidence.

MAYOR GREEN
Ideally Asian. Male-presenting. 30–50s.

A slick politician who believes every room is a campaign stop. Charismatic, endlessly optimistic and slightly slippery, Green is always selling something—even during a murder investigation. Equal parts politician, salesman and opportunist, he thrives on audience interaction and quick improvisation.

Strong improviser with natural charisma and excellent audience engagement skills.

MISS SCARLETT 
Ideally African American. Female-presenting. 20s–40s.

A sharp-tongued journalist who never misses an opportunity for a headline. Fearless, witty and effortlessly cool, Scarlett is often the smartest person in the room and certainly knows it. She cuts through nonsense with biting sarcasm while constantly chasing the next great story. Fast-thinking, confident and highly interactive with audiences.

Seeking an actor with razor-sharp comedic timing, confidence, and strong improvisational ability.

This production is highly immersive. Performers remain in character throughout the evening, frequently interacting directly with guests, improvising around audience responses and moving throughout the venue. Performers should be comfortable:

• Working in immersive theatre
• Speaking with audience members one-on-one and in groups
• Improvising while maintaining character

ABOUT THE SHOW
After the death of his father, meek Jason finds an outlet for his anxiety at the Christian Puppet Ministry, in the devoutly religious, relatively quiet small town of Cypress, Texas. Jason’s complicated relationships with the town pastor, the school bully, the girl next door, and – most especially – his mother are thrown into upheaval when Jason’s puppet, Tyrone, takes on a shocking and dangerously irreverent personality all its own. HAND TO GOD explores the startlingly fragile nature of faith, morality, and the ties that bind us.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS
& Roles and requirements:

(While the characters of JASON, TIMOTHY, and JESSICA are 17 in the context of the script, due to the subject matter, only performers 18+ will be cast)

JASON/TYRONE – Male Presenting
Jason is timid, grieving the sudden death of his father, and trying to be a good son. Tyrone is his hand puppet, who seemingly takes on a devilish, foul-mouthed life of his own to express Jason’s repressed anger and darkest impulses.

TIMOTHY (Timmy) – Male Presenting
The high school “alpha male” and neighborhood troublemaker. He is aggressive and impulsive but is fundamentally insecure and hides deep emotional pain. He is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but his provocative actions disrupt the church group.

JESSICA – Female Presenting
The girl next door and a high school outsider. She is intelligent, deadpan, and fiercely observant. She is unafraid of the chaos happening around her and brings moments of grounding intelligence to the madness.

MARGERY – (30-50) Female Presenting
Jason’s mother. She is deeply stressed, struggling with her own recent widowhood, and desperately trying to keep control of her life and the church puppet ministry. Beneath her devout, church-going exterior lies a powder keg of grief, intense sexuality, and frustration.

PASTOR GREG – (35-50) Male Presenting
The local minister. He is well-meaning but ultimately ineffective and a bit of a buffoon. He is heavily invested in keeping up appearances in a conservative Texas town, while also nursing his own inappropriate romantic interests and loneliness.

Hickory Community Theatre encourages people of all races, ethnicities, identities, body types, physical and cognitive abilities to audition. Theatre is for everyone, and HCT believes in representation and equity for all.

ABOUT FRANKENSTEIN
Told through the eyes of the abandoned Creature, this bold gothic retelling follows a life born innocent and curious, only to be rejected by the very man who made him. Alone in a world that fears and despises him, his yearning for connection spirals into rage and revenge. Determined to confront his creator, he hunts him down to demand a terrifying bargain. Visceral and haunting, this powerful production explores the explosive bond between maker and creation, confronting us with urgent questions of responsibility, belonging, and what it truly means to be human. In the end, Frankenstein dares us to decide: who is the real monster?

The post Cape Fear Regional Theatre announces auditions for Frozen: The Musical appeared first on North Carolina Theatre Conference.

Raleigh Little Theatre is seeking performers for its upcoming production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, by Tom Stoppard. This show will be presented in the Gaddy-Goodwin Theatre.

About the Show

Two minor characters from Hamlet suddenly find themselves at the center of one of theatre’s funniest and imaginative comedies and Stoppard’s most well known work. As the two lead characters search for answers, they encounter actors, royalty, pirates, impossible coincidences, and a world that never quite explains itself or lets them in on the full story. Filled with fast-paced wordplay, unforgettable performances, and surprising heart, Tom Stoppard’s modern classic is less about Shakespeare and more about all of us trying to figure out where we fit.

About the Roles

Raleigh Little Theatre encourages actors of any ethnicity, identity, ability, etc. to audition for any role. We actively encourage all performers to audition for the roles which they feel best suit their skills. If the script requires strict adherence to any characteristic(s), those will be listed in the character description. The characteristics describe the characters in the play.

Certain characters will be double cast (Polonius, Horatio, Laertes, Fortibras, possibly Ophelia, Gertrude, Claudius) as ambassadors, attendants, soldiers, spies, and pirates.

Rosencrantz (late 20s-30s, any gender) – A passive, easygoing friend of Hamlet who rarely questions events and tends to follow along. A charming optimist, emotionally open, eager to please.

Guildenstern (late 20s-30s, any gender) – A more anxious and philosophical friend of Hamlet who constantly tries to make sense of what’s happening. More analytical and sceptical; clings to logic, rules, and patterns.

The Player (40s+, any gender) – Charismatic leader of a traveling acting troupe; theatrical, confident, cynical, philosophical, and aware of the artificiality of life. The consummate showman and a person of the world. Has seen it all and then some. At the end of the day, a pragmatist and survivor. Has almost no principles other than dedication to their craft. A cynic and an idealist as it suits them.

Hamlet (late 20s-30s, male) – Prince of Denmark. Appears distant and unpredictable, brilliant, mercurial, brooding, tortured, and emotionally volatile.

Claudius (40+, male) – The (new) King of Denmark; Hamlet’s uncle and mighty opposite, now stepfather and king. Polite but a polished political operator who speaks with measured authority. Charismatic, ruthless, in a little over his head. Using Rosencrantz and Guildenstern for his own purposes.

Gertrude (40+, female) – The Queen; Warm, poised, graceful, elegant, socially adept, nobody’s fool, kindly but detached. Using Rosencrantz and Guildenstern without considering their fate.

Polonius (50+, male) – Court advisor to the king. Verbose, self-important, officious, and unwittingly comic. A chatterbox and a meddler.

Ophelia (20s-30s, female) – Polonius’ daughter and Hamlet’s (former) love interest; her tragedy occurs mostly in the background of the play. Intensely, operatically passionate; devoutly religious.

The Tragedians (Age 15+ and any gender) – A group of actors who perform dramatic plays, blurring the line between acting and reality. Versatile ensemble who inhabit multiple roles, embodying both comedy and menace. This ensemble includes members with some of the following skills: musical (drum, flute, horn), dancing, juggling, tumbling, clowning, circus skills, stage combat (armed & unarmed), and stylised movement, etc.
