After deciding to raise its orphaned baby as her own, she contacts amateur Bigfoot investigator Roger Korman for help. Soon, thanks to Sheila’s meddling sister Stella, the local blowhard Pastor, and the local Sheriff, they become involved in a chase across the countryside. After a number of detours—including a stop at the Quad-State Bigfoot Symposium and Renaissance Fair—the main characters convene at Squirrelly Joe’s Freak Farm to determine the fate of the infant creature. /The Bigfoot Letters/ is an uproarious, unpredictable adventure with characters that are literally larger than life! *WHAT TO BRING TO AUDITIONS* * *ALL schedule conflicts* for January through March 2026 * Your enthusiasm and sense of fun! * Be prepared to read from the script *CHARACTERS* /(Ages flexible: 20s-60s)/ * *Sheila Hartman (f)* – A single rural woman whose life is changed after an encounter with Bigfoot * *Roger Korman (m)* – A cryptozoologist and Chief Executive Research Officer of The Bigfoot Society * *Stella McPhearson (f)* – The concerned sister of Sheila and mother of young Neavah * *Merle Bunts (m)* – Colleague of Roger Korman at The Bigfoot Society * *Pastor Delroy (m)* – Zealous local pastor who is also a community leader * *Sheriff Elkins (any gender)* – Laid-back sheriff of Isolated Hills, Ohio * *Squirrelly Joe (m)* – Purveyor of the Freak Farm and former paramour of Sheila * *Wild Hair Sally (f)* – Resident of the Freak Farm and Squirrelly Joe’s right-hand person * *Cynthia (f)* – A bearded lady and resident of the Freak Farm * *Damon (any gender)* – Resident of Freak Farm * *Murphy (m)* – Cryptozoologist and nemesis of Roger Korman
