EMMA

by Kate Hamill, adapted from the novel by Jane Austen
Directed by Sharon Ott

First Rehearsal: March 2, 2027
Performances: March 24 - April 11 (no performance on Easter Sunday, 3/28)

SEEKING:

EMMA - Late 20s-30s. Almost unbelievably charming, a natural comedienne. Bouncily flirty; possesses more power of manipulation than even she understands; has a certain sunny, charming self-regard - it's what allows her to get away with so much.
HARRIET SMITH - 20s. A deeply likeable girl from the lower classes who's been given a basic education. A sweet, naturally affectionate human being, but not the brightest flame in the stove.
MRS. WESTON - Mid 30s-late 40s. Emma's former governess. A very smart woman with a good sense of humor; very perceptive and grounded. Not afraid to tell it like it is.
MISS BATES - 40s+. Headmistress of a struggling school for girls. An incredibly good-natured, if motor-mouthed and daft, woman.
JANE FAIRFAX - 20s-30s. You know that girl who always seems to do everything right? Jane is that girl. An overachiever. Very composed. Very beautiful. Very discreet. Very accomplished. Very smart.
MRS. ELTON - 20s-30s. Not bright. What's more, she has a laugh that's the auditory equivalent of nails being torn out of your fingers. Is delighted by everything. Her libido is…quite active.
MR. KNIGHTLY - 30s-40s. A handsome man, a super charming man, an upright fellow. He's also a bit of a rule-follower, maybe sometimes a stick in the mud.
MR. WOODHOUSE - 60s+. An over-anxious, melancholy hypochondriac, but people humor him, as he's a nice man under it all. Obsessed with the healing powers of gruel.
MR. ELTON - Any age. A clergyman who sometimes gets the wrong idea. Adores poetry. A born social climber. Fancies himself a great romantic.
FRANK CHURCHILL - 20s-30s. An incredibly charming, handsome, mischievous flirt of a man - the kind of man who gets away with almost everything because he's so irresistible. Not a bad guy, really, just a bit too likeable for his own good. Ladies love him.
