Seeking (all roles are available):

Sam Wheat:

Man, mid 20s - early 30s. A master of his own universe with regard to business and commerce. Has difficulty with the emotional, soulful side of love. His greatest obstacle is his fear of commitment, fearing that when he gets good things in life, he will lose them. When killed by a mugger, he is caught between worlds. He finds Molly is also in danger, and seeks to somehow protect her. Ultimately, he is able to save Molly, and finally express his love to her, before his transfiguration into a higher realm. Strong comedic skills and guitar playing an advantage. MUST be an EXCELLENT singer (tenor).

Molly Jensen:

Woman, late 20s. An artist. A woman of the world, an optimist, self-made and independent, always lives in the moment. Life is good enough as it is. In her relationship with Sam, she understands that a declaration of love requires vulnerability and surrender, but that is too great for him. She is shattered when Sam dies, and she struggles with being asked to believe in something larger – much bigger than here and now. MUST be an EXCELLENT singer (mezzo with high belt).

Carl Bruner:

Man, early 30s. Sam’s best friend; desperately wants everything Sam has – including Molly. Has great passion for the things of life. This passion has led him into deep water. He is not necessarily a bad guy at heart, just stuck in the material. After Sam is killed, Carl really loses his grip, and slides over to the dark side. High baritone/baritone.

Oda Mae Brown:

African American woman, 40s. A medium, spirit reader and advisor. She is a smart charlatan, pulled up by the bootstraps, and supports her whole family with her scam – talking to the dearly departed. When she really encounters the ghost of Sam, she ultimately is moved as much by Sam and Molly’s love as she is by the power to really talk to the other side. Needs STRONG comic chops and MUST have a big, soulful voice.
