Breakdown

About the Show: In a small seaside village where men build boats and women do not, young Suzette knows she is different–she longs for the sea and believes she is meant for something greater than just a life on land. So when a mysterious event occurs, Suzette is forced to do that most difficult thing—prove herself worthy of her destiny. Loading her loved ones onto a boat she has secretly built, Suzette sets to sea. What follows is an adventurous, imaginative tale exploring courage, community and the possibility that sometimes it only takes the actions of a single person to change everything.

Roles Available*: NOTE: All ethnicities encouraged to audition. This is an ensemble driven piece with all three actors serving as storytellers and puppeteers and taking on a variety of roles in addition to their primary role listed here. Singing ability, strong movement skills and some puppetry experience would all be assets.

Captain, a middle-aged female sea captain who commands the full gravity of her position while never entirely abandoning her secret past as Suzette’s “girly” sister Lucille.

One Legged Pete, the sea-tested right hand to the Captain. Pete is a two-legged mute who ends up voicing for the character of Suzette in the story. He is full of surprises.

Conroy, late teens, a young lad new to life at sea who struggles to make sense of a world quite different from what he expected.

*Please note that SUZEETE WHO SET TO SEA will be produced under an Equity TYA Tier 2 Actor/ASM contract. All actors who are cast will be responsible for load in and load out.
