SEEKING:

ALL ROLES ARE CAST.

Plaid Tidings: A Special Holiday Edition of Forever Plaid by Stuart Ross

Vocal/Musical Arrangements by James Raitt.

SEEKING:

FRANCIS - The leader of the group. He has the most confidence. He takes care of his fellow PLAIDS and makes sure that everyone knows where they’re supposed to be and what's supposed to happen next. He has asthma which acts up whenever numbers are too fast or the choreography too energetic. He has a great deal of compassion for the music and the group. He is always saving the guys from embarrassment. He feels obliged to keep the show moving. 18-40. (Second tenor-lyric Baritone.)

SPARKY - The clown-the-imp-the scamp. The “cut up” of the group. He is always looking for ways to crack jokes. He is very sharp and loves singing his tailor-made solos. He wears a retainer and has a slight speech impediment or lisp. Even though he is energetic and clever, he cares for his stepbrother. He sings with a joyous bravura and loves to perform. He loves to tell stories and relishes every word. He is the comic engine of the show. He often speaks so fast that he repeats himself. 18-40. (Baritone.)

JINX - The shy one. He is terrified. He doesn’t always remember what song comes next or what the next move is. He is Sparky’s stepbrother and there is a little stepsibling rivalry going on between them. He occasionally gets a nosebleed when he sings above an A. He is only in the group because he sings great and high. 18-40. (Tenor.)

SMUDGE - The worrier. He worries about the props, about the running order and always assumes that the audience won’t like him. He has a chronic nervous stomach. He is very reluctant to perform. He is also dyslexic when it comes to telling his left foot from his right. His name is Smudge because he is left-handed, and he would smudge the page every time he wrote. 18-40. (Bass.)

One Man, Two Guvnors by Richard Bean
