THE GARDENS OF ANUNCIA is inspired by the life story of an icon of the American stage who directs and choreographs the show: Tony Award Winner & Broadway legend Graciela Daniele with Book, Music & Lyrics by five-time Tony Award nominee Michael John LaChiusa. Anuncia tends the garden of her country house as she reflects on her life, looking back on her girlhood in Juan Perón’s Argentina and paying homage to the family of women whose sacrifices allowed her to become an artist. This funny, poignant, and beautiful musical features a beguilingly romantic and tango-infused score filled with the exuberant sounds of women reveling in the joys of being alive.

SEEKING:

Off-Stage Understudy 1:

OLDER ANUNCIA (mid-70s to early 80s) Latine/Hispanic Female. Elegant yet down-to earth, she is a woman of distinction who has achieved the highest heights in her profession. She moves with the grace of a dancer and her every gesture conveys the history of a life rich in complication. (Lower to mid-range)

GRANMAMA, Magdalena (early 60s) Italian Female. A woman of passion and principle. She has a strong sense of right and wrong, but dives into the fun and humor of life. (Mezzo, mix to d)

Off-Stage Understudy 2:

YOUNGER ANUNCIA (plays eight-years-old to early teens) Latine/Hispanic Female. Precocious, inquisitive, and eager to experience life. Training to be a dancer, she yearns to find her own path. (Mid to high mix)

Off-Stage Understudy 3:

MAMÌ, Carmen (late 30s) Latine/Hispanic Female. Fiercely devoted to her daughter and family, she is passionate, stylish and strong, with a spine of steel. She also has a wry sense of humor and is a fine tanguera. (Mezzo, strong mix to e)

TIA, Lucia (early 30s) Latine/Hispanic Female. Nurturing, creative, and romantic. She is poetic, warm, and maternal. In many ways, the opposite of her sister, Carmen. (Soprano, mix to g)

THE DEER (30s) – Doubles as SOLDIER, MOUSTACHE BROTHER – Transformative, equally at home in magical realism and real life. Has a touch of the poet and a dry, sly sense of humor. (Baritone to f)

THAT MAN/GRANDFATHER (30s-60s) – Latine/Hispanic Male. Doubles as SOLDIER, MOUSTACHE BROTHER, DOCTOR, TEACHER, PRIEST, MOVIE FATHER, and GILBERTO – THAT MAN - Transformative, equally at home in magical realism and real life. Has a touch of the poet and a smidge of the cad. (Bari-tenor to c)
