All roles will be understudied. The principal actors for the roles of Roy Cohn and Hannah Pitt are ALREADY CAST. Consideration for these roles will be for Understudy ONLY.
ROY COHN/PRIOR 2 (ALREADY CAST) – Male, 50-60, Jewish; an influential and successful New York lawyer and powerbroker. Extremely smart, cunning, and tremendously vicious. Roy's disgust and denial of most everything in his life isolates him further from the community around him. Closeted homosexual and full of hate and bile.
PRIOR WALTER/MAN IN THE PARK – Male, 25-40; Louis' uptight, bourgeois boyfriend, works as a club designer/caterer but otherwise lives off a trust fund. Extremely charismatic and witty, but also frail, intense, and vulnerable.
LOUIS IRONSON – Male, 25-40, Jewish; Prior’s boyfriend, works as a court clerk in Brooklyn. Intelligent, idealistic, neurotic, anxious, and full of self-loathing and guilt.
JOSEPH PITT/PRIOR 1/ESKIMO – Male, 25-40, Mormon; Married to Harper, a handsome, Republican lawyer working alongside Roy Cohn. Grapples with his suppressed homosexuality.
HARPER PITT/MARTIN HELLER – Female, 25-40, Joe's wife; agoraphobic with an addiction to Valium; perpetually fearful. In order to cope with her failing marriage, hallucinates and invents imaginary characters to escape her troubles.
HANNAH PITT/RABBI ISIDOR CHEMELWITZ/HENRY/ETHEL ROSENBERG (ALREADY CAST) – Female, 50s; Joe's mother; chilly demeanor. Moves from Salt Lake City to New York after Joe calls with unsettling news.
BELIZE/MR. LIES – Male, 25-40, African-American; Registered nurse, ex-drag queen, Prior’s best friend and Roy's caretaker. Extremely stylish with a personality to match. Mr. Lies is one of Harper's imaginary creations.
THE ANGEL/EMILY/SISTER ELLA CHAPTER/WOMAN IN SOUTH BRONX – She/Her/They, 30-40s, African-American; Imposing, terrifying, divine presence who descends from Heaven to bestow prophecy on Prior. A force to be reckoned with. Powerful, forceful, and full of intensity.
