Roles
These are the
roles they are seeking to cast for the stage production at the
Scera Feb 5-15, 2010:
Lead
singing roles
Chum
(male or female, 20s-30s, tenor): Humphrey’s fast-talking, diminutive friend and
sidekick. Helps Humphrey realize what a great fish he really is. Think Mike
Wazowski (Billy Crystal’s character) from Monsters, Inc. or Nathan
Lane.
King of
the Ninevites (male, 30s-50s, baritone): Troubled, weary king of the
squabbling Ninevites.
Queen of
the Ninevites (female, 30s-50s, soprano): Consoling, comforting queen
to the troubled king of the Ninevites.
El
Capitan (male, 30s-40s,
tenor): Captain and shipmaster of the Tarshish Expresh. A ridiculously
good-looking Spaniard (quite possibly the ancestor of Antonio
Banderas).
Logan
(male, 20-ish, baritone): Handsome but menacing leader of the Nineveh
Leftsiders. Dancing skills also required.
Ryder
(male, 20-ish, baritone): Handsome but menacing leader of the Nineveh
Rightsiders. Dancing skills also required.
Chuy
(male, 20s-30s, high tenor): The smallest Spanish mariner, whose willing heart
makes up for the fact that he is not the sharpest harpoon on the
boat.
Goldie,
Gladys and Gwen (female, 20s-30s, sopranos): These three backup
singer�crab girls
aren’t afraid to warn Jonah about the consequences of disobeying
God.
Lead
non-singing roles
Chloe
(female, 11-13): Our “imaginer” child for this Liken is a middle-school girl of
non-Caucasian ethnicity who has just moved to mostly white neighborhood and is a
little nervous about fitting in at school. An ideal monologue will show us how
your character is worried, but not so much that she seems
whiny.
Scott
(male, mid-30s to mid-40s): Chloe’s dad and narrator for this Liken, as he
shares with his troubled daughter the story of Jonah.
Lloyd
& Latimer (males, 10-ish): Two
mischievous Ninevites.
Lila
(female, 6-ish): A young
Ninevite girl who doesn’t understand why the two sides of Nineveh can’t get along.
An ideal monologue will show us how your character can be sad.
Ramsey
(male, 12-ish): A mischievous
Ninevite boy.
Alejandro
(male, 20s-30s): Spanish mariner aboard the Tarshish Expresh.
Shark
#1: The rough and tumble leader of the pack of sharks who want to make
lunch out of the likes of Chum and Jonah.
Courtney
(female, 11-13): Awkwardly tall, but friendly middle school
girl.
Hope
(female, 11-13): Cheerful, talkative, wheelchair-bound middle-school girl (you
don’t have to really be wheelchair bound to audition for this role, but it's OK
if you are).
