CAST:
Stage Manager - Per the playwright: She is the ultimate professional: confident, aloof, and slightly swaggering. Present onstage through out the show, the Stage Manager calls the cues which make the sun rise and set, bring the oceans into being, and generate the world of the play. She may also be God.
Adam - Per the playwright: overwhelmingly, passionately curious, in love with the world's possibilities. He is the first man. Adam's joie de vivre is infectious; his genuine enthusiasm should not be forced as it arises from his natural tendency towards hope and joy. The Adam of Act 2 is a more modern, less naive, but no less passionate version of the Act 1 Biblical Adam; he teaches the first grade. This role calls for nudity.
Steve - Per the playwright: good-natured but firm in his opinions, and more grounded than Adam. He is the second man. Steve is practical, but not overly serious or dour. He has a dry wit that mingles deliciously with Adam's sweetness. He's a bit of hedonist with an immense capacity for love. This role calls for nudity.
Jane - Per the playwright: a hefty, proudly and impressively butch woman, boisterous and tough-minded with a short fuse. She is also very warm-hearted and generous, earthy and wonderfully sane. She is the first (or second) woman. Jane's rages are operatic, justified, and she is, in her way, the mother of Stonewall.
Mabel - The earth mother. Per the playwright: she always responds emotionally to any situation; she is tremulous, hopeful and sympathetic to everyone. She is the first (or second) woman. Mabel is a religious seeker who understands that love must be at the root of all faith.
Trey Pomfret, et al - In the first act, he plays the Pharaoh, a Shepherd, a Rabbit, and, strangest of all, a heterosexual. In the second act, Pomfret arrives at Adam and Steve's loft dressed as Santa. Per the playwright Trey is an acerbic, very gay man. Foul mouthed and just a touch bitter, Troy's sense of humor is deliciously biting. He doesn't censor himself and imagines that he's just saying what everyone is thinking.
Kevin Markham, et al - In the first act, he plays a leather daddy Rhino, Brad (beloved of Pharaoh), a priest and a heterosexual dad. In the second act, Kevin appears as a go-go elf. Per the playwright he is a giddy, muscled Chelsea specimen, with just a hint of Valley Boy syntax (read: twink). This role calls for a g-string and/or loin cloth.
Rabbi Sharon, et al - In the first act, she plays a lusty pig, Ftatateetah (Pharaoh's guard), a shepherd, and other roles. In the second act, Rabbi Sharon is a disabled, lesbian rabbi. She uses a wheelchair. Per the playwright Sharon is an aggressively confident, gung-ho woman, a cable TV diva with a mission, she relishes an audience, and a challenge; she's a star. Her schtick is deliberately Jewish, drawing on a cultural memory of old vaudeville. She's a B-I-G personality and a loud talker.
Cheryl Mindle, et al - In the first act, she plays a sexy cat, Peggy (Pharaoh's guard), and more. In the second act, Cheryl is Adam's Mormon teaching assistant, recently relocated to Manhattan from Utah. She is cheerful and naive. She has embraced Adam and Steve (not to mention a bunch of gay stereotypes); she has chosen love over hate.
Adam - Per the playwright: overwhelmingly, passionately curious, in love with the world's possibilities. He is the first man. Adam's joie de vivre is infectious; his genuine enthusiasm should not be forced as it arises from his natural tendency towards hope and joy. The Adam of Act 2 is a more modern, less naive, but no less passionate version of the Act 1 Biblical Adam; he teaches the first grade. This role calls for nudity.
