2015 SEASON:
ON GOLDEN POND
rehearsal starts June 2, 2015
Seeking:
Update 2/19: A few revisions to this breakdown has been made and will be in bold and italics
Norman Thayer:
79 years old, whose wry sense of humor is made sharp by his ability to reference his age with the privilege of his naturally dominant personality. This crustiness is a shell he can’t readily discard, however. As such, it is sometimes difficult for him to convey his true feelings.
Ethel Thayer:
69 years old. Cheerful and energetic. A nurturer. Sees right though her husband’s façade to the goodness in his heart. There is no quit in here. She is abundantly loving.
Chelsea Thayer:
42, their daughter, divorced. Perhaps once she was simply desperate to be happy, but now she may be learning that she can take patient steps to improve her life.
Bill Ray:
45, a wealthy Los Angeles dentist. Chelsea’s fiancée. Tolerant, but with a surprising amount of strength at his core. He will accommodate, but he will not be ill-used.
Billy Ray:
13, (must be 18 to play 13), Bill’s son. His status as a child of divorce empowers him to be on the margin of impertinence. This quality sets up a wonderful
added role:
Charlie Martin:
44 Local mailman and handyman on Golden Pond. Charlie grew up on this Maine Lake and is unassuming and easygoing with a ready laugh which finds an outlet every two minutes because he is always enjoying himself. He has loved Chelsea since they were children.

Seeking:
Update 2/19: A few revisions to this breakdown has been made and will be in italics
Jerry Lukowski
(27-35) an unemployed mill worker whose less than perfect past behavior has put him at risk of losing his son to his ex-wife. Tenor with strong falsetto. Role will require some nudity.

Pam Lukowski
(27-35) Jerry’s estranged wife. Mezzo
Dave Bukatinsky
(27-35) Jerry’s overweight best friend who often finds himself caught up in Jerry’s schemes. Desperate to find meaning in his life since being laid off at the mill. Tenor. Role will require some nudity.
Georgie Bukatinsky
(27-35) Dave’s wife. Funny, energetic and madly in love with her husband, but feeling distant from him since he was laid off. Mezzo.
Harold Nichols
(40-50) Former supervisor at the mill, he has been lying to his wife about losing his job in order to allow her to continue her lavish lifestyle. Baritone. Role will require some nudity.
Vicki Nichols
(30-45) Harold’s wife. Though Harold fears she loves him mostly for what he provides them, she is dearly devoted and madly in love with him. Mezzo.
Malcolm Macgregor
(25-35) an unemployed mill worker who still lives at home with his mom. We first see Malcolm at the end of his rope having given up hope on life. He finds purpose by being a part of this group and also finds love. Tenor. Role will require some nudity.

==========
OUTSIDE MULLINGAR
rehearsal starts July 7, 2015
Seeking:
Tony Reilly:
75. An Irish Farmer. Widower. Tightlipped with a lifetime of secrets and guilt. Lung disease.
Anthony:
42. Irish. Tony’s son. Dutiful. Decent and hardworking. Cannot express his emotions freely. He endures.
Aoife Muldoon:
70. An Irish widow, neighbor to the Reillys. She struggles with heart disease but she has plenty to say before she succumbs. Plainspoken. Her issues are more urgent now that her husband has passed.
Rosemary:
36, Irish. Like Tony, she has bottled her emotions, less stoic. Her manner inspires a question: What will happen when she has had enough?
