This is a musical. All actors must be funny, quirky, versatile performers along the lines of Saturday Night Live or Forbidden Broadway. All actors must be strong singers with a pop sensibility.

ALL ACTORS MUST BE AVAILABLE TO AUDITION, REHEARSE, AND TRAVEL FROM NYC.

ALL ACTORS ARE SIGNED ON AS ACTOR/ASMs. As such, are required to unload/ load, setup and/or strike the set. No single piece of scenery shall exceed such proportions of height or weight as to make it impossible to be carried reasonably by two members of the company.

Seeking a diverse company of adult actors (18+) for the following roles:

MARTHA

Female, with strong high and bright mix/belt, up to a D - a yappy, chatty, but likable pooch. Gains the power of speech after eating alphabet soup. Perhaps a young Joy Behar/Barbara Streisand type. No taller than 5’6”.

DAD/MR TERRINGTON

Male, tenor- a good, sitcom dad. Also plays a brash Texan oil tycoon.

MOM/MRS SPANNAWICK

Female, alto - Mrs. Brady-esque mom. Also plays an old, rich and ditzy widow.

HELEN

18+ to play 10. Female, soprano with a strong mix- a plucky 10-year old who loves her dog.

INN KEEPER

Male, character baritone- funny character guy. Man of a thousand accents. Plays a nosy neighbor, a teenage girl and her poodle, a German scientist, Italian chef, female flight attendant and the villain of our story, hell-bent on catching the dog that has infiltrated his Inn, among others. Should be comfortable with multiple dialects.
