SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS - Provincetown Theater Non Equity Auditions

CHARACTERS: 7 roles, 3 Female-presenting; 3 Male-presenting

TEACHER – Played by a disembodied, androgynous voice with a strange, slightly accented way of talking.

JOAN – Late 40s, wears a lot of clothes and jewelry from India. She is a therapist and sex educator in colleges, high schools, and in private practice with couples.

JUDY – Maybe 50, is Joan’s partner. She works at O magazine as a top editor in the art department. She’s the kind of person who only needs four hours of sleep per night.

ALICIA – 30-ish, strawberry-blonde (sometimes more strawberry, sometimes more blonde) from Southern California. She is the kind of person who manages to make a lot of noise even when she’s “in silence.”

NED – Somewhere in his 40s, has had a severe run of bad luck worse than the worst country-western song.

RODNEY – Mid-30s, ageless, fit, gorgeous, grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and teaches yoga in New York and the Hamptons. He is married to a woman named Nadine who also teaches yoga.

JAN – 50-ish, is from a small town in Finland. He misses his son. He is hoping maybe this retreat will have an answer for him, where more traditional religious experiences have failed.
