LIZARD BOY
SYNOPSIS: Trevor has become a myth in his hometown: a lonesome outsider dubbed the “Lizard Boy of Point Defiance.” As a child, a strange encounter with a dragon turned his skin green and scaly. Now, ashamed of his appearance, he leaves his home only one day each year—on Monsterfest, the anniversary of the incident. Nervously, Trevor agrees to a night out with a new date, Cary, and the two meet Siren—another survivor of the dragon encounter who insists the dragons will return and begs Trevor to join her and fight them. Can Trevor accept himself and face the dragons? Will he save his city...and his first date?
NOTE: All actors must have strong pop/rock musical skills on their respective instruments. Trevor and Cary should be able to effortlessly accompany themselves as they perform. All actors must move well and be able to multitask as they are asked to sing, move, and yes, fight, while playing instruments. A dual sense of joyful play and hyper attention to detail is necessary for all three of these roles. And they’re all funny.
[TREVOR - UNDERSTUDY] he/him, BIPOC, 20s-early 30s. Nerdy and sweet. Reclusive and neurotic singer-songwriter and sketch artist whose youthful, sometimes naïve optimism and his dry sense of humor mask his pain. Has green lizard skin. Goes on a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Tenor. Plays advanced cello, advanced rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, and ukulele.
[CARY - UNDERSTUDY] he/him, white, late 20s-early 30s. Charismatic and confident singer songwriter whose goofiness makes him charming and whose emotional literacy makes him sexy AF. Trevor's love interest. Lovable, dopey, handsome and funny. Comedic skills a plus. Baritenor. Plays advanced rhythm and lead guitar, ukulele, piano, glockenspiel, also able to beatbox.
[SIREN - UNDERSTUDY] she/her, any ethnicity, mid 20s-mid 30s. Magnetic, intense and weird rock singer-songwriter. We meet her jaded and resigned but soon see the terrifying drive simmering beneath the tattoos. Her past and future are bound to Trevor's. Strong sense of dark comedy. Powerful mezzo rock belter with high mix-belt/wail. Plays basic piano, basic guitar, ukulele, melodica, and various percussion instruments. Comfortable moving in high heels.
