CASTING NEEDS— ALL ROLES OPEN
·        CB (Charlie Brown) is the main character in this play. He is intensely saddened over the death of his dog.
·        CB's Sister (Sally) has gone goth, at least for the duration of the play. It is mentioned that, like her character basis, she changes her philosophy on life often.
·        Van (Linus), always the philosopher in childhood, is now a pothead with a worldview to match.
·        Matt (Pig-Pen) is a pathological germophobe whose dirtiness has been internalized - he's sex-obsessed and homophobic.
·        Beethoven (Schroeder) became the school outcast prior to events in the play when it was revealed that he was sexually abused by his father.
·        Tricia York (Peppermint Patty), a party girl.
·        Marcy (Marcie), a party girl and Tricia York's sidekick.
·        Van's Sister (Lucy) has been institutionalized for setting the Little Red-Haired Girl's hair on fire. Basement Apartment is committed to non-traditional casting.  Actors will be cast solely on the basis of talent, except in cases where age, race or physical ability is essential to a role.
THE STORY:When CB's dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group's bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that's both haunting and hopeful.
Note: All roles are unpaid and considered volunteer, there are no EQUITY contracts available for this production.
