SEEKING:
JOAN (20’S) A simple country girl who has heard the voice of God who has given her a mission to make Charles the King of a united France. Her refusal to to the authority of the church results in her death. Seeking a great actress with a fantastic rock belt.
BAUDRICOURT (Mid 30's-Early 40's) Masculine and grizzled. Captain of the army in support of Joan. He is a soldier who has been around and seen some things. The idea of someone like him being transformed by a girl is unexpected. Must be a great rock singer and strong mover.
BISHOP CAUCHON (40's-50's) He is an antagonist with a conscious. Bright and mysterious. Represents the church. He is the mastermind behind the plan to bring down Joan but should not be an obvious villain. Must be a great rock singer and strong mover.
WARWICK (40's) In league with Bishop Cauchon. English captain. Sadistic and straight-up evil. Must be a great rock tenor and strong mover.
LA TREMOILLE (Late 30's-40's) A classic snakey character. A Creep. The Iago of the story. Must be a great rock singer and strong mover.
Performers of all ethnic and racial backgrounds are encouraged to attend.
