PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Please share a video clip of two contrasting songs in the style of the show. If preferred, those
auditioning may use the pre-selected music sides which can be found along with pre-recorded
accompaniment tracks here -
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VHIJu74ej3YAxwRz7AvNQkcXMIyQwKVc . If available, you
may also share a dance reel or performance clip showcasing your movement abilities.
Available Roles:
BASILIUS - King of Arcadia. A sexy, good ol' boy. A hothead, but not a despot. Blindly thinks Arcadia is
doing great under his masculine rule, which will be sorely tested during the course of the show.
GYNECIA - Queen of Arcadia. Sexy, wise, beautiful. Like any longstanding spouse, knows how to get
her way with her husband when push comes to shove.
PAMELA - Basilius and Gynecia's older daughter. Confident and obsessed with her appearance.
Known to be the most beautiful bachelorette throughout Arcadia.
PHILOCLEA - Basilius and Gynecia's younger daughter. Shy and a good girl, she yearns to follow
her heart rather than obey her father's orders.
DAMETAS - The King’s viceroy; father to Mopsa.
MOPSA - Handmaiden to Pamela. Warm, skeptical. Growing up without a mother has made her wise
beyond her years about everyone and everything, which is why she is the (sometime) narrator to the
show.
MUSIDORUS - A young shepherd who courts after Philoclea.
PYTHIO - (any gender identity, any ethnicity) - The Oracle; powerful, mysterious. Demanding. Great
sense of humor--can see through everyone--they are the Oracle of Delphi, after all.
ENSEMBLE - Unique, charismatic individuals to inhabit the kingdom of Arcadia.
