Breakdown
Getting shipped off to weight-loss camp is hardly Robert's idea of the perfect summer, but even he isn't prepared for what can be lost or gained at Camp Overton, the number three weight-loss camp in Southern Pennsylvania. With biting humor and irreverence, GIGANTIC tackles the growing pains of adolescence through the experiences of a bunch of misfit teens forced to find solace in one another as they look - inside and out - for acceptance, a hot make-out session, and the last contraband Butterfinger.
An earlier version of GIGANTIC was presented in development at the New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2009 with the title FAT CAMP, where it received the Best of Fest Award.
Seeking:
ROBERT GRISETTI
Male. Late teens/early 20s. Overweight and attending a weight-loss camp. Charismatic, charming, and hilarious with an amazing voice, Robert's insecurities are skillfully hidden beneath the mask of rock 'n roll inspired teenage rebellion. Sent to camp against his will and desperate to break out. Requires an actor who possesses both excellent comedic chops and emotional depth. Drumming skills a plus. High rock tenor.
TAYLOR
Female. Late teens/early 20s. Overweight and attending a weight-loss camp. Dedicated, outgoing, smart, optimistic. A midwestern girl who has spent the past year working at Starbucks to save money to enroll in camp and lose weight. Longs to be normal. High belter.
DAPHNE
Female. Late teens/early 20s. Overweight and attending a weight-loss camp. Fierce, sassy, sexy, funny. She's been to camp for the past 3 summers and is more concerned with hooking up than exercise. A rich girl who loves a good time, a cigarette, and a Cinnabon. Must be comically gifted. Belter.
ANSHEL
Male. Late teens/early 20s. Overweight and attending a weight-loss camp. That weirdo Jewish kid whose interjections are often met with confused silence. An oddball fanboy. Homeschooled and lovable. Must be a uniquely gifted comic actor. High tenor.
DARNELL
Male. African American. Late teens/early 20s. Overweight and attending a weight-loss camp. A YouTube celebrity who only ever shows his face online, Darnell enrolls in camp in order to qualify for gastric bypass. Blunt and easily annoyed, he is secretly a vulnerable teddy bear looking for love. Must be extremely funny and comfortable with taking off his shirt onstage. Baritenor.
BRENT
Male. Late teens/early 20s. Attractive, ripped, All American. Brent is a former fat kid turned junior counselor, having completely remade himself over the course of a few summers. Hates Robert Grisetti and everything he stands for. A hilariously dumb villain. Seeking an extremely physical comedic actor who can rap well. Baritone.
BRITTA
Female. Late teens/early 20s. Overweight and attending a weight-loss camp. An unfortunate looking girl with a retainer lisp and acne who longs to be evil like all her favorite Disney witches. Blissfully unaware of how bizarre she truly is, Britta loves chaos (and her brother Brent.) Must be a uniquely gifted comic actor. Character singer.
SANDY
Female, 30s - 50s. Co-owner of Camp Overton and teen weight loss expert. Professional, but extremely quirky comic actress. Character belter.
MIKE
Male, 30s-50s. Co-owner of Camp Overton and teen weight loss expert. Professional with lots of underlying quirk. Could either be either the masculine outdoorsy type, or a quirky character man. Character baritone.
ASHLEY PENROD
Female. Late teens/early 20s. Beautiful, athletic, perfect. Ashley is the captain of the Pennsylvania All-State Cheerleading squad. The holy grail. Seeking a funny actress. Cheerleading/acrobatic experience a plus. Strong pop belter.
