SEEKING:

• Nick Bottom: (Male, 30s - 40s) A2 - G4. Nick is an aspiring playwright who is frustrated with his lack of success. He is desperate to outdo Shakespeare and create the next big thing in theater. Nick is driven by his desire to succeed, even if it means resorting to extreme measures. Ambitious, jealous, determined, but somewhat clueless.
• Shakespeare: (Male, 30s) Ab2 - Ab4. The famous playwright and rival to the Bottom brothers. Shakespeare is depicted as an egotistical rock star of the Elizabethan theater scene. While he's undeniably talented, he is also self-centered and somewhat pretentious. Arrogant, charming, flashy, and full of himself with a modern, rock-star swagger.
• Nigel Bottom: (Male, mid to late 20s) Eb3 - A4. Nick’s younger brother, Nigel, is a talented but more idealistic playwright who is far less concerned with fame and more interested in writing meaningful theater. He is far more innocent than Nick and has a deep love for poetry. Sweet, sincere, and naive. Nigel represents the artistic side of theater, contrasting with Nick’s more mercenary approach.
• Bea: (Female, 30s) D3 - D5. Nick’s wife and “Right Hand Man.” She loves and supports him despite his questionable decision making and lack of success. Bea resorts to dressing up like a male to make ends meet for her growing family. She is a strong leader and a powerful woman who is quite persuasive when she wants to be.
• Portia: (Female, 20s) G3 - F#5. A quirky Puritan girl whom Nigel meets on the street. Portia is the only daughter of Brother Jeremiah and the love interest to Nigel Bottom. They fall madly in love with each other over their mutual love for Shakespeare and poetry.
• Nostradamus: (Open Gender, 40s - 50s) A2 - A4. A strange character who provides Nick with a vision of the future. Mysterious, all knowing, and slightly eccentric.
• Brother Jeremiah: (Male, 40s - 50s) G3 - G4. The Puritan father of Portia. He is very strict and keeps a watchful eye on his daughter. He shows nothing but disrespect towards everyone, but especially playwrights like Nick and Nigel. A deeply repressed Puritan. He despises playwrights, poets, and all things ungodly.
• Minstrel: (Open Gender, 30s) C#3 - A4. An energetic character that narrates some parts of the story and serves as the guide for the audience.
• Shylock: (Male, 50s-70s) A2 - A4. A character in Shakespeare’s play, The Merchant of Venice. He is also a part of the show’s comedic subplot, making sarcastic comments throughout the show. Witty, sharp-tongued, and involved in the financial dealings of the characters.
• Ensemble: Men and women to play Shakespeare fans and other characters during the Renaissance. Strong dancers and singers.
