All non-Equity actors 18 years of age and older will receive a stipend for their participation as well. *Below are character descriptions and a Director's note:* ESTRAGON (Gogo): Male. 45 – 70’s. Any cultural background. Sensitive. Forgetful. Sweet. Wispy. An old theatre performer who has spent a lifetime on stage with Vladimir. In this way his banter with Vladimir follows a seasoned rhythm and pace. He plays the gentle part in their act, though he is prone to moments of childish self-pity. He also has issues with his feet. VLADIMIR (Didi): Male. 45 – 70’s. Any cultural background. Intellectual. Hard-edged. Big-hearted. Solid. An old theatre performer who has spent a lifetime on stage with Estragon. In this way his banter with Estragon follows a seasoned rhythm and pace. He plays the blustery part in their act, though he is prone to moments of deep sympathy. He also has issues with his prostate. POZZO: Male. 40’s – 60’s. Any cultural background. Terrible. Arrogant. Massive. Not as nimble and clever as Estragon and Vladimir, he still demands attention and a space in which to perform. His physical size compensates for his lack of theatrical, emotional, and intellectual dexterity. While imposing, he does recognize the limitations of his skill, talent, and confidence. LUCKY: Male. 50’s – 70’s. Any cultural background. Ragged. Hollowed. Methodic. Resilient. Once a man of letters he is now a jumble of thoughts and ideas. A BOY: Male. 8 – 12. Any cultural background. Timid. Innocent. Responsible. The young spokesperson for Godot. He also watches the goats. DIRECTOR NOTE: This will be a highly collaborative production that seeks to explore the humor and theatricality of the play in order to celebrate its universal themes.
