Seeking:

IVÁN, pronounced both [ˌiˈvɑn] and [ˈaɪ̆ˌvən], brother to Marielena, 24. Latinx. born in Kantuta Rica, and were brought to the U.S. as young children. Their English contains no trace of a foreign accent.

ALAIA, [aˈlaɪ̆ə̆], their adoptive mother, a media celebrity, 40-50. Latinx or Hispanic, with some heritage from the Spanish-speaking world, including Spain. Wobbily conservant in Spanglish. born in the U.S. Her grandparents were immigrants. Years in broadcast journalism have massaged her speech into what most North Americans would call a neutral accent (i.e. she sounds like she may have grown up in Missouri, Ohio, or Nebraska).

BETH, [bɛθ], a journalist/producer who works closely with Alaia, 28-34. Any Ethnicity. native language is English. She may have an unobtrusive North American regional accent. She spent several formative years in Lima, Peru, while her father worked with the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit there. Ideally, fluent in Spanish or very good at pretending she is.

20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA by Jules Verne

Adapted and Directed by Eddie DeHais

Roles are to be determined based on the adapters' specifications.

Unless textually specified, all roles are open to actors of all races, ethnicities, genders and abilities, and actors of all identities are strongly encouraged to audition.

Seeking:

Professor Aronnax. 40ish. Someone with big emotions. Aronnax is a brilliant scientist with an abundant and fierce curiosity, whose enthusiasm for science allows Captain Nemo to essentially manipulate him into being happy on the Nautilus, where he is a prisoner.

Captain Nemo. Described as potentially 35 or 50 but impossible to tell. Immensely magnetic, dominant, charismatic, and mysterious. Speaks a dozen languages, including one that he invented. Genius-level intelligence, very strong and dexterous, passionately anti-government.

Guidance. 30ish. Aronnax's valet. Very coiffed, very smart, a bit flippant, dry. Extremely intelligent but about things that don't matter, like the classification of fish.

Ned Land. 30s-50s. A harpooner. Polar opposite of Guidance, but the two of them play deliciously off one another. Blue collar fisherman, not highly educated, but has a learned wisdom and common sense. Low brow humor. Has a temper. He’s always hungry and should be someone very physically intimidating.

The Ensemble – 4 roles minimum. Any age. Any gender.
