WAITRESS
Director - Kevin P Hill Choreographer - Ashley Chasteen Music Director - Milton Granger First rehearsal - May 20 Opens - June 4 Closes - June 15 JENNA – Character is Female, Late 20’s - early 40’s, Any ethnicity A woman stuck in her life as an unhappily married waitress in a small town. Finds some happiness and expression through her meticulous baking of pies and her friendships with her coworkers, Dawn and Becky. She lives her life paycheck-to-paycheck, day by day, and wants nothing more than to get away and start fresh, unbeknownst to her destructive husband, Earl. Must have a fantastic pop/rock voice with great range. The role will be understudied. DAWN – Character is Female, 20’s, Any ethnicity She's the youngest of the waitresses. Thick glasses and hair parted 14 centimeters to the left — eccentric is the nice way to say she’s slightly unusual and not so slightly OCD. She sets the tables, painstakingly ensuring each salt and pepper shaker is equidistant from the napkin holder. Must have an excellent pop/rock/folk voice. The role will be understudied. BECKY – Character is Female, Late 30’s - early 50’s, Black The oldest of the three waitresses. Irreverent, irascible, been there, made it back, and somehow kept her forward and sometimes wicked sense of humor with excellent comedic timing. Must have a soulful pop voice with an excellent pop belt. The role will be understudied. DR. POMATTER – Character is Male, 30's - 40's, Any ethnicity Handsome, endearing, and neurotic with a warm, if clumsy, matter. Jenna’s gynecologist with whom an unexpected extramarital affair is born. He has a quirky sense of humor and a big heart, even though he’s contributing to the affair. Requires an Actor with impeccable comedic timing and must move well. Should have a powerful pop/rock tenor that can easily navigate Sara Bareilles's musical style. The role will be understudied. EARL – Character is Male, Late 20’s - early 40’s, Caucasian Jenna’s husband. Peaked in high school, handsome in a gruff way, but that face is clouded with broken dreams, drowned with cheap beer. Just enough narcissism mixed with stupidity to be a potent Molotov cocktail that can explode into unexpected anger one second and then turn into a sobbing mess the next. Actors auditioning for EARL would need to come prepared with a song in the vein of Elton John or a similar contemporary singer/songwriter. Guitar playing is a big plus. The role will be understudied. OGIE – Character is Male, 30’s, Any ethnicity Strange, yet oddly lovable. He becomes slightly obsessed with Dawn (in a hilarious yet endearing way) after she goes on a 5-minute date with him. Quirky, incredibly persistent, and odd, yet kind. Should have excellent comedic timing and an excellent pop/rock tenor voice. The role will be understudied. JOE – Character is Male, 60’s - 70’s, Any ethnicity The owner of the diner where Jenna, Dawn, Becky, and Cal work. A seemingly old, curmudgeonly man with a soft spot for Jenna (and her pie), but picks when that warmth allows itself to be shown. A sarcastically funny and no-nonsense guy with a keen ability to read people. Very funny. The role will be understudied. CAL – Character is Male, 40’s, Any ethnicity A chef at the diner. A “Salt of the Earth” guy’s guy surrounded by gals. Brash, impatient, unsentimental, but somehow charming. Should have a strong pop/rock voice with incredible comedic chops. Must have a strong contemporary baritone singing voice in Sara Bareilles's style and excellent comedic timing. Will understudy the role of JOE. LULU – Girl, 4 - 5 years old, Any ethnicity Jenna’s daughter. A sweet, carefree child who appears in the last scene of the show. Actor should be confident and able to engage in a small amount of dialogue and movement on stage. Must be shorter than 42”. The role will be double-cast. ENSEMBLE – Any gender, 20’s – 40’s, Any ethnicity Versatile, experienced performers to portray various Chorus parts and understudy Principals. Dance background or strong movement ability helpful. All must sing well. |
