CASTING NEEDS — ALL ROLES OPEN
DIONYSOS (male 30-60, range F3-F5)

The leader of the club. He is the leader of this sojourn down under. He is distinctly witty, clever and funny but not without some gravitas and empathy for the world and its inhabitants. Dionysos loves humanity. He is the god of theatre and vino.

XANTHIAS (female 20-50, range TBD)

Originally written as a male role, Xanthias is female in our production. She’s funny, witty and smart. But not too smart.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (male 60-76, range F3-D5)

Yes, he is THAT Shakespeare. Must be comfortable with the language of the bard himself.

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (male 50-70, speaking role)

Doesn’t sing but MUST have an ability with language and ideas. No one specific physical type but we are looking for someone to speak the words of this fellow. Again, no singing.

PLUTO (male 35-65, range A3-F5)

He is pretentious, flamboyant, and a salesman of sorts. A funny fellow in a deadpan sort of way.

HERAKLES (male 30-45, range G3-F5)

Should be in good shape, very masculine and a legend in his own mind. The half-brother of Dionysos. He is genial but beastly in strength, stature and reputation.

CHARON (male 50-70, range C4-F5)

He plays two roles including the boatman to Hades. He has some history and has seen it all.

ARIADNE (female 25-40, range G3-D5)

She was Dionysos’ wife, who died young and tragically. She was mortal and totally in love with her husband.

ENSEMBLE (men and women)

This is a show that absolutely utilizes the chorus extensively. You will be singing and dancing and playing many roles. The music for the company is quite wonderful; it is Sondheim after all.

Cain Park 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.

AUDITION REQUIREMENTS
1. 18-76 years old
2. Memorize/prepare two 32-bar cuts in the style of the show
3. Bring sheet music in the proper key (accompanist is provided).  NO TAPED MUSIC ALLOWED.  Please note...you will not be allowed to audition without sheet music.
4. Bring your current resume and a current headshot, which will be retained by Cain Park.
5. Check your calendar for any conflicts before auditioning (see performance dates and rehearsal dates above).

COMPENSATION
Salaried AEA contracts are available and EMC (Equity Membership Candidate) may be available.   Non-Equity actors appearing in Cain Park productions will be paid a modest stipend.  Non-Equity actors cast in the production also may be eligible for college credit: call 216-291-5796 for details.
