Breakdown
2014-15 SEASON:
ETHER DOME:
Author: Elizabeth Egloff
Director: Michael Wilson
Rehearse: August 28, 2014
Open: September 19, 2014
Close: October 5, 2014
SEEKING:
MALE:
DR. HORACE WELLS: (34) Charismatic leading man. Prominent dentist. Discovers nitrous oxide as an anesthetic but fails to prove its worth. Betrayed by his former partner, Morton, driven near mad after his failure and Morton’s duplicity, he loses everything. Dignified, honorable, and determined – until he explodes.
WILLIAM MORTON: (27). Charming and attractive. Dentist, Horace’s partner until he breaks off to get married and become a doctor. Desperate to please, Ambitious, impatient and always looking to strike it rich. Lives in constant fear of others discovering who he really is.
DR. CHARLES JACKSON: (47). Respected surgeon, might well be a genius in another field, (having studied Geology, Chemistry, Astronomy and More), but in this one, he’s constantly mocked because he faints at the sight of blood.
DR. JOHN WARREN: (68). Powerful and patrician. Renowned surgeon and professor, Beacon Hill Blue-blood, a perfectionist who is constantly disappointed by others. Loves being a surgeon. Very old school, he is not interested in a new way of doing things.
DR. BIGELOW: (25) Youngest doctor on staff at Mass General. Seems to have it all: wealth, good looks and confidence. Treated like a baby by all the other doctors. Has a nose for innovation and recognizes a good idea when he sees it. Will double in other roles.
DR. AUGUSTUS GOULD: (50). Spectacled conchologist and former surgeon. Can’t stand the screaming anymore. An outsider. Insecure and fragile. Could possibly double in other roles.
DR. HAYWARD: (50). House surgeon. Tough and hardworking. Should be valued more by the hospital. Trying to hide his growing resentment. Will double in other roles.
LIVINGSTON: (20’s). The top medical student. A bit of a smart ass. Ruthless enough to be Chief of Surgery some day. Will double in other roles.
DR. COLTON: (40’s-50). Legitimately a doctor with a degree, but instead of practicing he puts on a stage show pretending to lecture and sell Laughing Gas. Will double in other roles.
INMAN: (20’s). Medical student at Massachusetts General Hospital. Will double in other roles.
LIVINGSTON: (20’s). Medical student at Massachusetts General Hospital. Will double in other roles.
FEMALE:
ELIZABETH WELLS: (27). Leading lady. Married to Horace and serves as his dental assistant. Kind, loving and righteous. She’s seen it all, and is the only person in the play who is not afraid of pain or death. Only wants what is owed her husband and defends Horace and his good name until the bitter end.
ELIZABETH MORTON: (20’s). Comic Ingenue. William Morton’s wife. A graduate of Miss Porter’s school where she was given all the skills useful for marrying a wealthy husband. Idealistic and engaging. Possible brief nudity.
MRS. WADSWORTH: (50’s). Wealthy patient of Horace’s. Educated. Dignified. Has impeccable taste and a dry sense of humor that escapes most people. Will double in other roles.
YOUNG WOMAN IN WHITE: (late teens-20’s). The manifestation of Horace’s laughing-gas and chloroform induced visions. Beautiful. Ethereal. Will double in other roles.

HAMLET:
Author: Shakespeare
Director: Darko Tresnjak
Rehearse: September 19, 2014
Open: October 24, 2014
Close: November 16, 2014
SEEKING:
MALE:
HAMLET (late 20’s-early 30’s) Prince of Denmark. The son to the late king and nephew to the present king, Claudius, who has married his mother Gertrude. Melancholy, bitter, and cynical, full of hatred for Claudius’s scheming and disgust for Gertrude’s sexuality. A reflective young man, he is often indecisive and hesitant, but at other times prone to rash and impulsive acts.
CLAUDIUS (50’s) King of Denmark, Hamlet’s uncle and now stepfather, married to his late brother’s wife, Gertrude. Calculating, ambitious politician driven by his sexual appetites and his lust for power.
POLONIUS (50’s – early 60’s) The Lord Chamberlain of Claudius’s court, and the father of Laertes and Ophelia. A pompous, conniving old man.
HORATIO (late 20’s-early 30’s) Hamlet’s close friend. Loyal and helpful to Hamlet throughout the play.
LAERTES (late 20’s-early 30’s) Polonius’s son and Ophelia’s brother. Passionate and quick to action, eager to avenge the deaths of his father and sister.
ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN (30’s) Bumbling courtiers and former friends of Hamlet. Summoned to court to discover the cause of Hamlet’s strange behavior.
GRAVEDIGGER (50’s) characterman. Hamlet comes across him digging a grave for Ophelia
FEMALE:
GERTRUDE (late 40’s-early 50’s) Queen of Denmark and Hamlet’s mother. After the death of Hamlet’s father she marries Claudius. She loves her son, but she seeks the good life more energetically than she does truth. Hamlet feels that Gertrude has betrayed his father and, by extension, him.
OPHELIA (mid 20’s) Polonius’s daughter, Laertes’s sister and Hamlet’s sometime love. A sweet and innocent young girl, Ophelia obeys both Polonius and Laertes. Smart and loving, but madness and death overtake her.
