Director, Spiro Veloudos
1st reh: 4/26/16. Opens: 5/20. Closes: 6/26
Seeking:
BLACK STACHE: Famous for his face foliage, heartless and hirsute, suspiciously well read, partial to the poetical and theatrical, and given to a ferocity from which no good shall ever spring.
MOLLY: 20s, female, A true leader, curious, intelligent, 13-year-old kid.
BOY: 20s, male, An orphan, a survivor, nameless, homeless, friendless who will become a hero.
GREMPKIN/MACK/SANCHEZ/FIGHTING PRAWN, mean schoolteacher, a very bad sailor, a hard-working Spanish pirate, and King of the Mollusks with a mastery of Italian wine and cuisine.
MRS. BUMBRAKE/TEACHER: Molly’s nanny, British to the bone. Stiff in the lip, loose in the hip, fun on a ship, also plays a knowledgeable mermaid.
SLANK/HAWKING CLAM: The Neverland’s vicious captain without the skill or quality to lead anyone but himself and always into disaster. Also, plays heir to the Royal Clam Clan.
SMEE, First mate to Black Stache. Single-mindedly dedicated to his captain’s every whim.
PRENTISS, an orphan, ambitious, hyper articulate, logical; yearns to be a leader. A little bit of a blowhard with just the teeny-tiniest touch of cowardice.
ALF, An old sea dog. Something about him appeals to the feminine sensibility – might be his bow legs, his saucy gait, or his kind heart.
LORD ASTER, The very model of a Victorian English gentleman, loyal subject to the Queen, devoted father, faithful friend.
CAPTAIN SCOTT, Captain of Britain’s fastest frigate, the Wasp.
TED, An orphan, obsessed with food, a natural actor, an easy wit, perhaps a future poet. Called “Tubby” but not due to girth, of which orphans, given their meager diets, have very little indeed.
All actors serve variously as sailors, seamen, seafarers, orphans, pirates, and Mollusk natives.
