SEEKING:

DR. THOMAS STOCKMANN: He/him. Mid-40s. Highly intelligent and curious. He’s seen more of the world than most of his small town. Unafraid of authority and can lack self-awareness. Can be impulsive. His highs are high and his lows are low. CAST.

PETER STOCKMANN: He/him. 40s-50s. The Mayor, Chief of Police, Chairman of the Board at the Baths. The authority of his small town. Cares for his brother but has little patience for the way his brother moves through the world. Aware of how the world perceives him. A workaholic. Unmarried. Anxious.

MRS. STOCKMANN: She/her. Mid-40s. Dr. Thomas Stockmann’s wife. Cares deeply for her husband and family and devotes herself to supporting them. Highly intelligent. Self-aware and conscious of the limitations of the 19th century home life. Sensitive to her husband’s highs and lows and deliberate in her tactics to guide him.

PETRA STOCKMANN- She/her. 20s. A teacher. Fiercely intelligent. Idolizes her father. Has a strong moral center. Rejects traditional femininity and gender norms for a 19th century woman. Incandescent.

MORTEN KIIL: He/him. 60s-80s. Mrs. Stockmann’s stepfather. A master tanner. Rich but allows his family to think he’s barely scraping by. Mischievous with an edge to him. Does not take well to insults or slights. Misanthropic.

HOVSTAD: He/him. Could be anywhere from early 20s-40s. Editor of the town’s leftist newspaper. Considers himself and (loudly) professes to be a revolutionary but falters when his ideals are put to the test.

BILLING: He/him. 20s-30s. An assistant at the leftist newspaper. Considers himself to be a radical and condemns the government but is also politically ambitious.

CAPTAIN HORSTER: He/him. 20s. A ship captain. Has little interest in local politics. A loner. Has a strong moral compass. Loyal. Maybe the most intelligent of them all though he has the least formal education.

ASLASKAN: He/him. Could be anywhere from 50s-80s. Prints the leftist newspaper which gives him a degree of editorial control. Chairman of the homeowner’s association and represents the town’s small business class. A proud and loud member of The Temperance Society. He loves moderation and abhors conflict.
