Breakdown:
DRACULA is directed by William McNulty who also did the adaptation and appears as Van Helsing. This will be the 15th annual production of the popular Louisville tradition.
LUCY: Female, mid to late 20s. As she falls prey to Dracula she transforms emotionally and physically from a frail Victorian ingenue to a demonic force; requires extended acting style without melodrama, must be physically strong and agile as this is a physically demanding role; actress covers full range from sweet innocence to wildly sensual animal.
DR. SEWARD: Male, early to mid 30s, the psychiatrist at a sanitorium outside of London. His beloved fiance Mina has died recently and now his dear friend Lucy has the same symptons; he is kind, intellectual, academic; caught between his heart and his mind as he faces the unthinkable.
DRACULA: late 30s-early 50s). Disguised as a distinguished, old-world gentleman who is a bit stiff, formal, socially uncomfortable; in truth he is not a tragic romantic hero but a dark, dangerous animal, a savage, fierce monstrous predator; actor must be in excellent physical condition; please prepare the audition with an “Eastern European" accent.
****************
A CHRISTMAS CAROL will be directed by Sean Daniles, Associate Artistic Director at Actors Theatre. This is the 27th annual production of Louisville's most popular holiday tranditon.
NARRATOR: Male or Female, mid 40s-late 50s, with commanding presence, great humor and charm, a big and easy laugh and excellent speech skills
BOB CRATCHIT: Male, late 30s-early 40s, extremely warm, gentle, emotionally available with a quick sense of humor. Actor must be physically strong enough to carry a small child, and work well with children as he is a primary contact with the children in this production.
MRS. CRATCHIT: Female, late 30s-early 40s, warm, maternal, emotionally available, quick spirited with a slight bit of edge when it comes to defending family. Actor must work well with children.
