<div align=left><STRONG>"<EM>BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON</EM>"~~~Opens May 25th, 2012 **** Closes July 1st, 2012 **** Rehearsals Begin April 14th, 2012</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG></STRONG> </div>
<div align=left><STRONG>All roles open except for Andrew Jackson (Dan Folino). One additional AEA contract will be offered. All other actors 18 and over are</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>paid a stipend for their participation. Staff for this production includes Scott Spence (Director), Larry Goodpaster (Musical Director),</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>Martin Cespedes (Choreographer) , Libby Burchmore (Stage Manager), Trad A. Burns (Set and Light Design), Jenniver Sparano (Costume</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>Design) and Richard Ingraham (Sound Design).</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG></STRONG> </div>
<div align=left><STRONG><U>Roles:</U> Except in two instances the age range here is from 18 to 35. The cast numbers 13 to 15 (8/9 men, 4/5 women, 1 boy). One of the women</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>(The Storyteller) should be 40 to 60. The boy should be 6 to 10 and should be darker skinned as he plays a Native American. Neither of these</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>two roles need to sing. The rest of the cast needs to be comfortable with styles that range from quasi-musical theatre to Punk, Emo, and </STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>traditional Rock styles. Actor/Singers who play guitar are encouraged to bring them. Almost all actors double (except for The Story Teller</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>and The Boy) and play a variety of roles from politicians to Native Americans, and parents to tourists. </STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG></STRONG> </div>
<div align=left><STRONG><U>The Show:</U> "<EM>Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson</EM>" was THE Off Broadway hit of 2010 before transitioning to a shorter-lived B'Way production. It</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>juxtaposes a story line from the early 19th century with contemporary music and dialogue, and requires an unbelievably energetic and balls-to-</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>the-wall cast. Two thirds of the show is book, so it requires VERY strong actors at every turn who are also fearless in attacking the vocal</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>style of the show. It is amazing in its timeliness as well, skewering Left and Right alike and makes us see how little has really changed in</STRONG></div>
<div align=left><STRONG>Washington and the country in almost 200 years.</STRONG></div>
