All four guys are mid 20's, any ethnicity, and they are very strong singers with great ears for harmony.
Francis is cast.
Sparky: The “cut-up” of the group, Sparky is always looking for ways to crack jokes. He wears a retainer and has a slight speech impediment or lisp. Even though he is energetic and clever, he cares for his stepbrother, Jinx. He sings with a joyous bravura and loves to perform. He loves to tell stories and relishes every word. He is the comic engine of the show.
Jinx: High tenor. The shy one, Jinx is usually terrified. He doesn’t always remember what songs come next or what the next move is. He is Sparky’s stepbrother and there is a little sibling rivalry going on between them. He occasionally gets a nose bleed when he sings above an A. He lives his life terrified. He sings the high notes beautifully.
Smudge: The worrier, Smudge worries about the props and the running order and always assumes that the audience won’t like him. He has a chronic nervous stomach and is very reluctant to perform. He is also very clumsy. Smudge never enjoys or appreciates what he has. He always worries about what is coming up and regrets what is past.

Curly- beautiful Baritone voice, (mid to late 20's and any ethnicity) Has a confident swagger and deserves it. He is rugged, masculine, and real. He is in love with Laurey, but refuses to admit it. He’s a cowboy and the romantic lead.

Will Parker- strong Singer/Dancer, (mid to late 20's and any ethnicity) Will is a cowboy who is skilled enough to compete in rodeos. Will is a dance role. He is interested in Ado Annie, but isn’t the brightest bulb.
Jud Fry- strong Baritone voice, (mid 20's to early 30's and any ethnicity) Jud takes care of the ranch Laurey and Aunt Eller live on. He is seen by most as an outsider. He is dangerous, which some might find attractive. He has feelings for Laurey. He is strong and a hard worker with a dark side.

The San Patricios (World Premire)
Director- Mark Booher
Rehearsal July 4th
Performance: July 31 - Aug. 17 in Santa Maria
Aug. 28 - Sept. 7 in Solvang
This is a world premire being written for PCPA by Jose Cruz Gonzalez. In the 1840s a significant proportion of the enlisted men in the United States Army were Catholic immigrants from Ireland and Germany. The Mexican government, aware of the nativist's prejudice against immigrants in the United States, started a campaign during the Mexican/American war to win the immigrants to its cause. The Mexicans urged the Irish and other immigrants to throw off the burden of fighting for the Protestant tyrants and join the Mexicans in driving the Yankees out of Mexico.
The ability to play an instrument is a plus. Several roles have been cast from the workshop, yet we are still looking for:
Ofelia: A young Mexican woman in her early 20's. She is beautiful. Many call her Mexico's enchantress. Strong actress. Wears a man's uniform and leads the Mexican army into battle.
Juan: A young Mexican man. Ophelia's younger brother. Looks to be in his teens. Young cadet in the Mexican army. Very loyal to his sister and his country.
