THE MINUTES

Written by: Tracey Letts
Directed by: Adam Karsten

Rehearsal: 10/13-10/27/26
Performances: 10/28 - 11/15/26

SEEKING:

• Mr. Peel (25-35): A newcomer to town and new council member. Considered a protagonist in the show. Curious, determined, and a bit headstrong.
• Mayor Superba (50-60): The mayor and head of the city council. A warm and welcoming presence with a firm grasp and control of the team. He knows how to play the game. Authoritative, folksy, and self-righteous.
• Ms. Johnson (30-40): The city clerk responsible for maintaining minutes of every detail of every meeting. Cautious, meticulous, and assertive.
• Mr. Blake (40s-60s): A council member who can talk the talk, often motivated by what serves him best. Smooth, outlandish, and calculating.
• Mr. Hanratty (mid 30s-50s): A council member that looks out for what will help the town the most, often trying and failing. Well intentioned, verbose, and passionate.
• Mr. Breeding (40s-60s): A council member closely aligned with Mayor Superba. Opinionated, self-aggrandizing, and dismissive.
• Mr. Assalone (40s-60s): Mayor Superba's other major ally on the council. Aggressive, confrontational and a bully.
• Ms. Innes (60+): The second-longest-serving member of the council. Focuses only on her agenda items.
• Ms. Matz (35-45): A flighty and distracted member of the council that struggles to complete her actionable items. Unaware, erratic, and in her head.
• Mr. Oldfield (65+): The longest-serving member of the council with a bit of a temper. He often finds himself rambling over minute details. Testy, long-winded, and constant.
• Mr. Carp (40s-60s): Missing for much of the play, a council member that is seemingly missing. Truthful, well-intentioned, and diligent.
