AVAILABLE ROLES:
JOJO -Jojo is a “Thinker”, a smart child with a wild imagination. He can be played as being a little bit awkward, a little bit of a loner, or simply a rambunctious kid whose Thinks get him into constant trouble. By the end of the show, he learns what it means to be a responsible member of his world, using the power and possibilities of his own Thinks. Vocal range top: D6 Vocal range bottom: Ab4
HORTON THE ELEPHANT- Horton The Elephant is a gentle giant. Think of him as a big-hearted blue-collar guy who is steadfast, responsible and always tries to do the right thing for his friends.

Vocal range top: Eb5Vocal range bottom: F3
MAYZIE LA BIRD – Mayzie La Bird is self-centered, selfish, and vain. Mayzie will never admit to her own flaws. She manipulates anyone she can into doing what she wants. But Mayzie isn’t all bad. In giving up her egg to Horton once and for all, she has a moment of generosity-she realizes she isn’t the kind of person who would be a good parent, and she does the best thing she can for the egg. Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: G#3
SOUR KANGAROO – Sour Kangaroo isn’t really sour at all. She’s just got a lot of attitude. She’s loud, brassy, and a lot of fun. Vocal range top: Eb5 Vocal range bottom: A3
THE WICKERSHAM BROTHERS – The Wickersham Brothers are not bad guys! They’re simply a lot like kids who tease, play pranks, and get a kick out of making mischief, although often at others’ expense.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
A Christmas Story is a full-length holiday comedy by Philip Grecian. Based on the movie of the same name. Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest of the 1940s follows young Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store. The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; outrageous pink bunny pajamas; the infamous leg lamp; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.
ROLES AVAILABLE & CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:
**ACTORS PLEASE NOTE: All roles are open to all gender identities but the character will appear as written. Ages are those of the characters, not necessarily the actors portraying them.
Adult Roles: Ages 25-65
Ralph Parker: Ralphie’s older and wiser alter-ego—the future version of himself. Serves as the Narrator of the play. Must be a natural storyteller. He may be an adult, but when telling this story, is still a child at heart.
Mother: Ralphie’s patient mother who has firm convictions, especially that her son should not own an air rifle. She displays nothing but genuine love and concern for her family.
The Old Man: Ralphie’s beleaguered father who is grumpy, but good-hearted, with a penchant for outbursts and a deeply held desire to be a winner. He thinks he is pretty clever.
Miss Shields: Ralphie’s teacher who can be an old-fashioned curmudgeon or a more vibrant and expressive educator.
Cowboy, Delivery Man, Santa, Tree Lot Owner: (Various ages) Smaller supporting roles.
Child Roles: Ages 8-15
Ralphie Parker: Equal parts dreamer and schemer, Ralphie thinks he knows exactly how to be persuasive with adults in order to get what he wants. He needs to be able to react and show the audience what he is thinking when the adult version of him is speaking.
Randy: Ralphie’s annoyingly whiny and immature younger brother.
Flick: One of Ralphie’s best friends. Victim of the triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole, as well as bullying by Scut Farkus.
Schwartz: One of Ralphie’s best friends. A bit of a know-it-all.
Scut Farkus: Old-fashioned schoolyard bully who routinely torments Ralphie and his friends.
Esther Jane Alberry: Ralphie’s extremely shy classmate who has a crush on Ralphie but is too afraid to even talk to him.
Helen Weathers: Ralphie’s very smart classmate who is confident and a natural leader.
Ensemble: Classmates of Ralphie and his friends.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
A Chorus Line is a stunning musical-vérité capturing the spirit and tension of seventeen dancers as they audition for spots in the chorus line of a Broadway musical. This groundbreaking, Pulitzer Prize-winning concept musical provides a glimpse into the personalities, inner lives and bittersweet ambitions of the performers and the choreographer as they describe the events that have shaped their lives and their decisions to become dancers and is based on real Broadway dancers’ stories, as told to fellow dancer and choreographer Michael Bennett. The show features one powerhouse number after another. Memorable musical numbers include “What I Did for Love, “One,” “I Can Do That,” “At the Ballet,” “The Music and the Mirror,” and “I Hope I Get It.” This brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance, and compellingly authentic drama is funny, heartbreaking, and refreshingly honest.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Death obsessed Wednesday Addams has fallen for an ordinary young man from a normal family. As the Addams household finds out, her father, Gomez, is forced to keep the secret from his wife, Morticia. As brother Pugsley and Grandma scheme, Uncle Fester finds a love of his own. Everything will change on the night the Addams host a dinner for the boyfriend and his parents. What could possibly go wrong?
ROLES AVAILABLE & CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:
Please note: The ages listed in the description are the characters’ ages, not necessarily the actors’ ages.
GOMEZ ADDAMS (Male) Stage age 35-55 ; Tenor
A suave man of Spanish descent who loves his wife and children, takes great pride in his family ancestors, and revels in all it means to be an Addams. He struggles keeping his daughter’s secret from his wife, whom he adores more than death. Husband to Morticia. Great comedic timing and a strong dancer.
MORTICIA ADDAMS (Female) Stage age 35-55 ; Mezzo-Soprano /Alto Belt
Attractive, strong-willed woman – the strength of the family. Confident and sexy with a dry wit. Feels her husband is hiding something from her and will use any tactic to lure the secret out. She is the real head of the family and fears she and her daughter aren’t as close as they used to be. Dry comedic wit and a strong dancer.
WEDNESDAY ADDAMS (Female) Stage age 18-22 ; Pop Soprano/Mezzo-Soprano Belt
Wednesday has the same dry wit and sensibility of her mother. Loves a “normal” boy (Lucas) and wants to introduce his family to hers. She experiences the lovesick drama that comes with first love and when two very different families meet. She longs for the approval of her parents but isn’t afraid to show her rebellious side.
PUGSLEY ADDAMS (Male) Stage age 10-13 ; Tenor — *(an actor as young as 10, possibility of casting a girl in the part, which would still be portrayed as a boy.)*
A charming, funny, and sometimes annoying young boy who loves being tortured by his sister. Unsure of his place in the family, he wants to ensure he won’t lose his sister to her new boyfriend so he takes matters into his own hands.
UNCLE FESTER (Male) Stage age 30-50 ; Tenor
Vaudeville-style comedian, who serves as the musical’s narrator. He’s larger than life, an energetic, joyous, child-like presence. Uncle Fester is incorrigible and, except for the good nature of the family and the ignorance of the police, would ordinarily be under lock and key.
GRANDMA (Female) Stage age 102 ; Mezzo-Soprano
She is a fun, quirky and feisty old woman who often has a trick up her sleeve. Grandma often schemes with Pugsley and offers advice when needed. She’s more of an oddball than a typical, comforting grandmother figure. Comedic timing and physicality.
LURCH (Male) Stage age 25-50 ; Bass
The Addams Family butler who knows all, but says less. He speaks in moans and groans. Must have great non-verbal story-telling abilities (facial expressions, gestures, and sounds).
MAL BEINEKE (Male) Stage age 35-55 ; Tenor
Stuffy father of Lucas and exasperated husband to his rhyming Stepford wife, Alice. At one time was a follower of a grunge band, but has lost that side of himself and has become a stereotypical businessman. Looks out for his family’s future and is concerned about how they appear to the rest of the world.
ALICE BEINEKE (Female) Stage age 35-55 ; Soprano Belt
Mother of Lucas, devoted to her family putting aside her own desires. Alice is a quirky often speaking in rhymes and falls prey to the latest fads or quick fixes for her family or personal life. While dining with the Addams, she drinks a potion that causes her to let her hair down and speak the truth.
LUCAS BEINEKE (Male) Stage age 18-22 ; Tenor
Fell in love with Wednesday Addams and plans to marry her. Experiences the youthful pain and drama of young love and struggles with the differences between his family and the Addams family. Lucas is a ‘normal guy’ who’s a little dorky. Wednesday absolutely intrigues him.
ADDAMS ANCESTORS- (Male and Female) Varying Ages 13+ ; Varying Vocal Ranges
The Ancestors have a very important role in The Addams Family. As descendants of the Addams lineage from various eras and locales, they act as a backup chorus for multiple scenes and numbers. Ancestors should be talented singers, good character actors, and should be able to move well, as the ensemble will be required to dance in many songs.
