TRACK 1: MARMEE MARCH/AUNT MARCH. MARMEE - The matriarch of the March family. A social revolutionary, ahead of her time. Good sense of humor. A warrior; keeps the family together. Tough. Strong. Intelligent. AUNT MARCH - (70+) The most unpleasant old woman imaginable. Has lots of money; privileged. Strong political and personal opinions, which people endure. Judgmental. Has an intermittent, hacking, disgusting cough.
TRACK 2: MEG MARCH: The oldest March daughter. Wears glasses. Acts as Marmee’s second in the house. A romantic at heart—likes to dress up and have little luxuries in life.
TRACK 3: JO MARCH: The second-oldest March. Does not fit comfortably within the parameters of her given gender role. A deep fire within her. Extremely ambitious and frustrated by the distance between where she and where she wants to be. Impatient. Wants to change the world. Very smart and knows it. A mix of insecurity and aspiration. Boyish and rough-and-tumble. Sometimes antagonistic. Not the most tolerant of differing viewpoints. Can be quite awkward or abrupt; bad temper when riled. A great sense of humor. Passionate. Ahead of her time. A warrior. Has a special relationship with Beth.
TRACK 4: BETH MARCH: The third March. An extremely special person. Very sweet and paralytically shy; had to be removed from school because of her paralyzing social anxieties. Agoraphobic. Almost incapable of going out in the world; sheltered by her family. Loves deeply and has deep empathy for everyone. Loves the simple things in life—so much that it hurts. Sees much more than anyone realizes. Brave and sensitive; quick to forgive and heal wounds. An observer.
TRACK 5: AMY MARCH: The youngest March. Opinionated and spunky; popular and quite focused on style. Not the most tolerant of differing viewpoints. Socially intelligent. Sometimes puts on airs. Perhaps a bit spoiled. A perfect little lady—except for her temper, and her not-so-great command of “vocabiblary.” Grows up to be quite beautiful and elegant. Madly in love with Laurie, around whom she is never cool.
TRACK 6: HANNAH/MRS. MINGOTT/MESSENGER. HANNAH: Irish. The March’s longtime housekeeper, cook, and de facto babysitter. A treasure; a terror; a traditionalist. Takes no non-sense. Matter-of-fact; she’s the boss of that kitchen, for sure. MRS. MINGOTT: A very rich, stylish woman. Vanderbilt-esque, condescending, not terribly pleasant; fancies herself charitable. MESSENGER: A female messenger.
TRACK 7: THEODORE “LAURIE” LAURENCE: A sweet and handsome young man. Sensitive. Funny, charming, and caring. In his fantasies he’s a white knight: riding in to rescue damsels in distress. A natural musician. Wealthy thanks to his inheritance, generous, does not have to think about money. Does not always fit comfortably within the parameters of his given gender role—he doesn’t want to grow up to be a soldier or tedious man of business. Finds a family in the Marches.
TRACK 8: JOHN BROOKS/PARROT. JOHN BROOKS: Laurie’s sometimes stiff and awkward tutor. A rule follower. A poor man, well educated. Has a very noticeable limp—probably served in the war and was sent home, although may have been disqualified from service altogether. Feels deeply. Quite madly in love with Meg. PARROT: Aunt March’s parrot: pure evil. A musty, disgusting bird. Probably an actual demon in parrot form.
TRACK 9: MR. LAURENCE/ROBERT MARCH. MR. LAURENCE: Laurie’s grandfather, responsible for Laurie’s upbringing. A wealthy man. A gentleman in the strictest sense. Not comfortable with emotional language; bad at expressing himself. Has a rigid sense of what is appropriate behavior, especially for a man. Tends towards gruffness or temper. Probably quite unintentionally frightening. Deeply regretful of incidents in his past, but unable to express it. ROBERT MARCH: Father to the March girls. Never speaks, but his presence looms large. Wounded in the war; never quite recovers. A significant limp. Struggles with his injuries, both emotional and physical.
TRACK 8 or TRACK 9 will also double the part of:
MR. DASHWOOD: A publisher of cheap newspapers and novels. A businessman, working in a man’s world. Fancies himself a realist. Not a nice guy. Fancies himself a nice guy.

MAGDALENA / PERLA / ENSEMBLE: Female, Latinx, 50s. Magdalena is Quijano’s younger sister. She took him in when his health began to deteriorate but has since grown resentful of her brother and the extra stress he brings on the family house. She is exhausted and out of options.

MANNY DIAZ / SANCHO PANZA: OFFER OUT. Male, Latinx, 30s-40s. Manny is a paleta (popsicle) vendor. In Quijano’s fantasy he plays Quixote’s righthand man Sancho Panza. This is a part Manny is game to play, if only to keep an eye on his friend. He is funny, all heart, and knows more than he lets on.
PAPA CALACA / ENSEMBLE: OFFER OUT. Male, Latinx, 30s-40s. Papa Calaca or Papa Muerte is leader of the Calacas (skeletons) here to usher in the end Quijano’s time on earth. A troubadour of sorts.
DULCINEA / DR. CAMPOS / ENSEMBLE: OFFER OUT. Female, Latinx, 30s-40s. The woman of Quijano’s dreams who appears as an apparition, pushing him forward on his quest to find her. She is his first love, and his one true love.
BRUNO CASTILLO / YOUNG QUIJANO / ENSEMBLE: OFFER OUT. Latinx, 30s-40s. Bruno is the bartender and co-owner of Rosario’s Lounge and Karaoke, the local bar. He is a man with unwavering authority, gusto, and a great sense of humor. He keeps the severed finger of Pancho Villa as a souvenir in a jar.
JUANA / ROSARIO CASTILLO / ENSEMBLE: OFFER OUT. Female, Latinx, 30s-40s. Juana is Manny’s wife and the mother of their children. She is sassy and pragmatic. She is not happy about Manny’s current expedition and promises that whatever trouble he might get himself into won’t compare to the trouble he is in at home.
PADRE PEREZ / CARDENIO / ENSEMBLE: OFFER OUT. Male, Latinx, 50s. A man of God. Close to the family and close to the community. Humble and compassionate, but not much tolerance for the demons he thinks possess Quijano.
