Breakdown
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
A playful zany Romp with a Roman Bath house feel. Looking for fun loving, sexy individuals with a keen sense of farce and madcap mayhem
Seeking:
PSEUDOLUS
(MALE, 30s-early 40s, Baritone) A Roman slave, owned by Hero. Pseudolus is sly, conniving, and willing to do anything to win his freedom. Our master of ceremonies. Genius comedic actor does not have to be the traditional body type for this, just need very strong comedic actor who can play size.
HERO
(Male, 20s, Tenor) SEEKING NON-UNION ACTOR. The handsome young son of Senex and Domina. Hero is a lovesick yet clumsy young man who schemes with Pseudolus how he can win the hand (and body) of Philia. Honest Comedian.
PHILIA
(Female, 20s, Soprano) SEEKING NON-UNION ACTRESS. Still a virgin, the beautiful and young, Philia (Greek for ''love'') is a courtesan-in-training. Honest Comedienne.
HYSTERIUM
(Male, 30s- early 40s, Tenor) The chief slave of Senex and Domina. Hysterium is the frantic and frenetic straw boss of all the slaves in the household. Extremely strong comedic actor.
SENEX
(Male, 50s, Baritone) An older man, but one still attracted to wine, women, and song. Senex (Latin for ''old man'') is the perennially henpecked husband. A sardonic Roman senator, Senex has earned the distrust of his wife, Domina, but ultimately they do love each other. Extremely strong comedic actor.
DOMINA
(Female, 30s-40s, Mezzo-Soprano) Strong willed dominating wife of Senex. Prefer actress 5’10” or above. A sexy, powerful calculating, clever woman who is feared by even her husband. Extremely strong character actress.
MARCUS LYCUS
(Male, 40s-50s, Baritone) A purveyor of courtesans and the owner of the brothel. Lycus is the snaky, slimy, lecherous procurer of courtesans. He takes a businesslike care of his concubines. Ultimately a zany coward. Strong comedic character actor.
MILES GLORIOSUS
(Male, 30s-40s, Bari-tenor) A great warrior and captain in the Roman army. Miles Gloriosus (Latin for ''boastful soldier,'' the archetype of the braggart soldier in Roman comedies). Gloriosus is handsome, strong and pompous. A foolish braggart. Strong comedic actor.
ERRONIUS
(Male, 50s-60s or character actor who can play age well) MAY CAST NON-UNION Erronius, (Latin for ''wandering''). A befuddled old man who is partially blind and always confused, spends most of the play in search of his two children who were seized in infancy by pirates some 20 years ago. Madcapped fool. Strong comedic actor.
GYMNASIA
(Female, 20s) One of Lycus’s courtesans, with whom Pseudolus falls in love. Gymnasia (Greek for ''Athletic'') is a giant stage on which a thousand dramas can be played. Perhaps a body builder. STRONG DANCER who sings well. Must be 5’10” or above.
PANACEA
(Female, 20s) Another of Lycus’s courtesans. Panacea (Greek for ''Cure All'') has a face that holds a thousand promises, and a body that stands behind each promise. Any vocal range. STRONG DANCER who sings well.
TINTINABULA
(Female, 20s) A jingling, bell-wearing courtesan from the house of Marcus Lycus. Tintinabula (Latin for ''Bells'') has the face of an idol, the arms of a willow tree, and the pelvis of a camel. STRONG DANCER who sings well.
THE GEMINAE
(MALE or FEMALE, 20s) Twin courtesans in the house of Lycus. The Geminae (Latin for ''Twins'') are, according to Lycus: A matched pair. Either one a divinely assembled being, together an infinite number of mathematical possibilities. STRONG DANCERS who sing well.
