Previews 9/24 - 9/29
Runs: 9/30 - 10/16
SEEKING:
JASON/TYRONE – 17 (to be played by an actor 18+). A high school misfit. Shy and mild-mannered, his polite and gentle nature masks deep pain and brewing rage. His puppet alter-ego Tyrone is foul-mouthed, dirty-minded, hyper-articulate, extremely aggressive, and flat out hilarious.
TIMOTHY – 17 (to be played by an actor 18+). The school bad boy and class clown. He is a dominant Alpha male type with secret demons and a biting sense of humor.
MARGERY – 40’s. Jason’s mother and church puppet group leader. Struggling to cope with the death of her husband, she is highly stressed and barely keeping it together. On the surface she is warm and caring, but has a wild passionate side.
JESSICA – 17 (to be played by an actor 18+). A seemingly shy outsider with a dry sense of humor and subtly, sweet disposition. She has a definite sense of right and wrong and, if pushed, isn't afraid to fiercely speak her mind and hold her ground.
PASTOR GREG – 40’s. Dutiful church pastor. Tries very hard to be the manly, father figure, but is in fact a bit of a buffoon. His wholesome, small-town charm masks his lust and love for Margery.
