THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE:

In this show the race of the characters is not pivotal to the plot. All ethnicities and types will be considered for all roles.

SEEKING:

Frederic — Male, A member of the Pirates. He is unaffected and possesses an unselfconscious sex appeal. Youthful, genuine and innocent. Vocal range: strong, legit(ish) tenor full voice up to Bb.

The Pirate King — Male, The leader of the pirates. Despite his sharp and loud bark, he is actually a whole-hearted romantic with a soft bite. A handsome man typically found with an open shirt and wind in his hair. Vocal range: legit(ish) baritone.

Major General Stanley — Male, A father with many daughters. He resembles a male Queen Victoria in his sensibilities. Possesses kindness, warmth, and good-humor. The love for his daughters is undeniable. Vocal range: character baritenor.

Police Sargent — Male, The leader of the police. He is Groucho Marx-esque and uncomfortably clumsy. Though their duty to protect is clear, the Seargeant and his police are more accustomed to fear and hide. Vocal range: baritenor.

Mabel — Female, Daughter of the Major-General, she is a classic beauty. An astute young woman, she is sympathetic in nature. She and Frederic fall in love. Vocal range: legit(ish) soprano with some coloratura. Easy high Cs & Ds.

Ruth — Female, Frederic’s lifelong nanny. Sneaky. She is attractive enough for her age but cares very little about such things. She wants nothing more than to see Frederic happy, healthy, and by her side. Vocal range: legit(ish) mezzo.
