A sleuth, confident and adventurous. - FEMME FATALE: female, late teens or early twenties. Dark, sultry, and serious. Gold-digger who is having an affair with the Uncle to get his money. - "HERO": male, late teens or early twenties. Nice guy, likes to have fun. Is dating Femme Fatale, unaware that he is being used. - COUSIN #1/HENCHMAN: male, late teens or early twenties. The Uncle's son and a constant obstacle for the Protagonist. Mean and shrewd, but also a bit of a coward. - UNCLE/MOBSTER: male, middle-aged. A goofy villain-type, being manipulated by the Aunt. - AUNT: female, middle-aged. Cunning and alluring. Has manipulated others to steal a fortune left behind by a wealthy deceased mayor. - *Note that there are many minor roles not listed here* *What to Send Us:* - E-mail modernvictorian(a)yahoo.com to request an audition form.
