CASTING NEEDS — ALL ROLES OPEN
Casting will be multicultural, non-traditional and multi-generational. Actors will be cast solely on the basis of talent, except in cases where age, race or physical ability is essential to a role.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS
ENSEMBLE: Soloists, featured actors, and others.
JESUS: Charismatic and high energy, yet gentle and loving. He is the deceptively calm leader of the troupe. He is eventually betrayed by Judas and persecuted. Male: 18-30 years old. Range: A3-G5.
JOHN THE BAPTIST/JUDAS: He possesses the attributes of two Biblical figures: he is both Jesus' lieutenant and most ardent disciple, and also the doubter who begins to question and rebel. Like Jesus, he is also charismatic but in an overt revolutionary way. Handsome and masculine with a subtle undertone of sexuality. Male: 18-35 years old. Range: A3-G5.

1. 16 years and older
2. Memorize/prepare two 32-bar cuts in the style of GODSPELL plus a short comedic monologue or joke
