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.
These are not the founding fathers you know from the history books, but 4 rockin’ revolutionaries, America’s original boy band, who travel in time to teach Dawn about the importance of the American Government.
**note- performers DO NOT play instruments in the show**
ALL ACTORS ARE SIGNED ON AS ASSISTANT STAGE MANAGERS, and will be required, as such, to lift scenery, costumes and sound equipment during daily load-in and load outs (up to 60 lbs).
SEEKING:
George Washington:
(male, 18+, baritenor) Charismatic leader (and lead singer) of the Founding Fathers rock band. He makes girls swoon.
Thomas Jefferson:
(male, 18+, rock tenor) The romantic of the group. He’s a rock star and he knows it. And he’s not afraid to put on a dress if it helps make a point.
John Adams:
(male, 18+, high tenor to B with very strong falsetto) pugnacious and quick tempered. And he can rap. He’s a pretty cool dude. He’s the drummer for the band.
Benjamin Franklin:
(male 18+, baritone) He may never have been president, but this is one smart guy. The quirky one.
Dawn:
(African American woman, 18+ to play 14 year old girl, soprano with high mix belt to F,) smart, driven, fiercely competitive and ambitious, like Tracy Flick from Election or Rachel Berry from Glee.
