Upcoming Auditions for Adults
Tragedians Anonymous
By Rebecca Salomonsson
Synopsis: It ends up even Shakespeare’s characters are in lockdown! Forced to remain in isolation until further notice, four tragic characters make time to join a self-help group, virtually of course! Tragic characters Ophelia, Lady Anne, Romeo, and Juliet seek support at the Tragedians Anonymous group led by Prospero, where the meeting’s theme is, “Identify those who wrong us and those who we wrong.” In this smart, laugh-out-loud comedy that’s also quite educational, the characters proceed to confront the other characters in their plays.

Power Line
The Story of Me, Mario, and Your Mom
By Don Zolidis
***Please note this play both rehearses and performs online using the Zoom platform!*
Synopsis: UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A… [Please hold.] “This is Power Line! How can we save you today?” Remember 8-bit? We do! It’s the classic tale of young love with a retro twist when boy (or girl), meets girl (or boy) and sparks fly in all two dimensions. With a little nudge from the champions of game play, follow our heroes as they wade through the minefields of romance, collecting gold coins of wisdom along the way. Gamers rejoice. Your time in the spotlight has come.
Casting - Seeking individuals 18 and older
Dad (30+): Reminiscent of the voice in How I Met Your Mother. Fluent in awkward “Dad speak”. This role is open to actors of any gender, but the tone should be “awkward dad”. (The gender will be based on who we pair you with for the role of Gilbert, your younger self.)
Mom (30+): The quintessential matriarch. The one who smooths things over. This role is open to actors of any gender, but the tone should be “I’ve got this covered, dear”. (The gender will be based on who we pair you with for the role of Johanna, your younger self.)
Bartholomew (M or F – 30+): THE BOSS. Gamer God. Too cool for school. Bow before his awesomeness.
Gilbert (18 – 30): LEAD. Dad’s 80s flashback. Orphan archetype. Awkward, but determined. A nerd with potential. This role is open to actors of any gender. (The gender of this character will be based on who we pair you with for the role of Dad, your older self.)
Johanna (18 – 30): LEAD. Mom’s 80s flashback. Confident, edgy, classic 80s outsider rebel. This role is open to actors of any gender. (The gender of this character will be based on who we pair you with for the role of Mom, your older self.)
Kenny (M or F – 18+): CALLER. Hasn’t slept for days. Convinced the game they’re playing is real and they’re trapped in 1942. **This actor will play this caller and another caller TBD.
Brunhilde (M or F – 30+): EMPLOYEE. A gamer veteran. Has been working this job for years and knows how to milk it for every last $0.99/min. Laid back and larger than life.
Jae (M or F – 18+): CALLER. A relative newb of a gamer, and first-time caller. Trapped in Super Mario Bros. 3. Easily manipulated. **This actor will play this caller and another caller TBD.
Orvis (M or F – 18+): EMPLOYEE. Somewhere between the Oracle in The Matrix, and a carnival fortune teller.
Tolliver (M or F – 18+): CALLER. The believer. Tolliver keeps calling back hoping to get Orvis on the phone because they believe Orvis actually can unlock all of the secrets of the gaming universe…or at least the Metroid universe. **This actor will play this caller and another caller TBD.
Mega-Snap (M or F – 18+): EMPLOYEE. The 80s version of a Snapchat celebrity. Possesses a potentially undeserved, yet unwavering sense of self-confidence.
Joey (M or F – 18+): CALLER. A wannabe meathead who can’t wrap their mind around the idea that they could be punched out in Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out. **This actor will play this caller and another caller TBD.
Jeska (M or F – 18+): CALLER. Hyperventilating too much to know what game they’re calling about. **This actor will play this caller and another caller TBD.
Bryn (M or F – 18+): CALLER. A trigger-happy gamer with a potentially unhealthy bloodlust. Duck Hunt is not for the faint of heart. **This actor will play this caller and another caller TBD.
Martin (M or F – 18+): CALLER. “The Bro”. Too easily convinced that Kirby is more hardcore than Ryu. **This actor will play this caller and another caller TBD.
Lari (M or F – 18+): CALLER. The conspiracy theorist. Trapped in the Hyrule Castle. Not a believer in the concept of respawning. **This actor will play this caller and another caller TBD.

The Monologue Show
By Don Zolidis
***Please note this play both rehearses and performs online using the Zoom platform!***
Synopsis: After three months of rehearsing their monologue show, Mr. Banks' drama class must switch to performing online - but these students are such a mess, the internet stage is the least of their problems. From the couple staging their real-life break-up to the garden-gnome thief confessing his crimes, everything that can go wrong will in this flexible collection of hilarious tall tales.
Seeking Adults, Ages 18 & Older
Mr. Banks - dry, dead inside, unbearable to watch slow cadence; imagine Ben Stein‘s clear eyes commercial in the ’90s as a reference or just a husk of humanity that is internally screaming for help. Reference Edvard Munch’s painting The Scream.
Bailey - false sense of confidence, gullible, egotistical; picture you are a member of the Beverly Hillbillies, no let’s add a bit of spice, you are overly confident after finally having the affirmation of others and are as overzealous as a new member to weight watchers. All I’m saying is your character is biting off more than they can chew.
Bradley - in denial, strung out, recovering addict or at least we think; you know that friend that we all have who can never follow a straight story because they may or may not have attention deficit issues.. yeah that’s Bradley, and he's off to see the wizard.
London - insecure, OCD, jealous, ranting, knows her worth; remember that relationship that you couldn’t get over soon enough and it just dragged on forever yeah London is definitely in that toxic place. Maybe she secretly loves her narcissistic ex still, loves to hate him at least…
Jae - fixed eyes, little to no blinking wide-eyed, over indicates expressions, stiff; everybody knows that control freak that just needs to loosen up well. Jae sets the template for “Karen’s” everywhere
Caleb - narcissistic tendencies, surfer bro attitude, defensive; think of a young Keanu Reeves in point break mixed with Aston Kutcher in Dude Where’s My Car?
Marla - shy, nervous, timid; she is kind of like that one kid that does not belong at the spelling bee, nonetheless, this is the most erratic thing she has ever done in her meek life so props to Marla.
Brandon - a go-getter of sorts set the bar low and you’ll always achieve your expectations, suffers from stage fright perfectionist, hard on himself, nervous Nellie; think highly intelligent over-thinker. Has Stewie Griffin's intellect impressive not just for its breadth, but the premature age it appears—after all, Stewie's still an infant.
Brenda - Obsessive, identity crisis, crazy; think of somebody taking vicarious living to a whole new level. Brenda is bonkers, she loves her sister so much we are surprised she didn’t consume her in u:ter:o. Or maybe some sort of invasion of the body snatchers thing is going on…
Brianna - paranoid, exhausted, scared/skittish; think Gretchen Wiener from (Mean Girls )being thrown into a psych ward from having the sister from hell... and carries a grudge against her mother for the lost time she was trapped in her womb.
Angel - takes regular Lamaze classes just so she can order decaffeinated coffee, high strung, precise; do you ever wonder why we have 24-hour antiperspirant deodorant? people like Angel buy this product and use it as Chapstick.
Jessi - queen slay, biased, cheeky; remember the meme “hide yo kids hide yo wife” yeah bring on that pizzazz
Tom - nerd, favorite food Pizza Rolls, possesses the power of the force and the Darkside at will; Think of George Lucas as having a mole removed in the late 90s and that mold growing into a man named Tom. This guy is still evolving... kind of like the character progression of 50 shades…
Alyssa - schizophrenic/borderline personality disorder, an innocent voice says messed up things; if Taylor Swift could Astro project her Darkside and possess people to do terrible things that would be this character. Think to kill them with kindness and kindness is the name of a machete.
Monica - always throwing a pity party, tastefully dramatic, believable.; thinks that ASPCA commercial with Jennifer Love Hewitt talking about all of those poor animals when (the arms of an angel) song is playing in the background. Bring out your best mid-century acting, make the audience feel an uneasy roller coaster of emotion that ejects them from the ride quickly.
Barney - Aggressive, child of a flower child gone wrong, deeply repressed rage; Think John Bender from the breakfast club, mixed with a boy named Sue.
Morgan - insincere phony, over-the-top televangelist/ inspirational speaker; Morgan may just be the product of a Shamwow commercial, in fact, her birth was shot on (Shark Tank) for an as seen on tv newborn lineup.
Todd - Evel Knievel meets the greatest showman, multiple concussions, cocky; Remember the hog wild twirling spaghetti fork?... Yeah neither do we, Todd here on the other hand is stuck in a constant loop of euphoria for his talents due to major head trauma and thinks he is just as exciting as the first time you heard of a fork that spins your spaghetti for you.
Jeremy - going through puberty, eager to impress, thirsty; think of that kid who is first experimenting with hair gel/ pomade, takes daring advice from Fonzie, and whose sense of reality has seriously jumped the shark... special skills include smoldering, axe deodorant, leather jacket.
Tara - aggressive, American psycho, dramatic, diva; can you say method actor?.... yeah let’s hope you never need to go down this emotional rabbit hole of control issues seeded in a false sense of reality. Go ask the hooka worm when he's 10 feet tall.
Lola - imperialist, psychic powers, flirting with psychological warfare; our little Stranger Things, Winter Soldier. imagine Captain Ivan Drago from Rocky 4 mixed with Carrie and her psychic powers. This kid is willing to gain a victory at all costs, so long as that doesn’t mean studying.
Callie - kind, gentle, uncomfortable; think of the rest of the quaker oats family, left out of frame.
Mia - delusional, superfan, OCD; you know those people who dress up like the movie characters when they go to see the film. Well, Mia takes that a step further and sends hand-cut letters to the cast from torn magazine pages threatening them to fulfill her twisted fantasy. Her name stands for missing in action after all.
Matt - simp, lover boy, jealousy runs deep with love; everyone knows someone who’s been friend-zoned, hey maybe you have to, take the stage and sing your Love ballad.
Kate - breaks 4th wall the audience is thinking, blunt, normal for the most part but is seething; think of someone who has just had enough, noting too outrageous because Kate in a way is validating our audience for seeing the flaws in all of our characters.
Karl - suffers from PTDS: post-traumatic date syndrome, crazy cat guy; think Lieutenant Dan from Forest Gump after he lost his leg mixed with the pigeon lady from Home Alone. That's just a walk in the park.
Joe - listens to Grateful Dead, into philosophy, stoner; have you ever looked at someone and wondered what in the world are they thinking, people like Joe don’t even know what they are thinking.
Angelica - underachiever, didn’t do the work; think of someone who uses Wikipedia as a fact-based site and copies/ pasted off of spark notes for their biography.
Olivia - bland, materialistic, betrayed; imagine the movie her with Joachim phoenix. Now imagine that as our character but Olivia is going through a bad divorce with the phone and falling out of love.
Burma - bad luck, activist, hidden hand mastermind.; think of the cartoon (Pinky and Brain), Burma is the mouse brain. A series of hangover-style unfortunate events transpire after building up some negative energy in the universe for some time now.

Brandon - a go-getter of sorts set the bar low and you’ll always achieve your expectations, suffers from stage fright perfectionist, hard on himself, nervous Nellie; think highly intelligent over-thinker. Has Stewie Griffin's intellect impressive not just for its breadth, but the premature age it appears—after all, Stewie's still an infant.
Brenda - Obsessive, identity crisis, crazy; think of somebody taking vicarious living to a whole new level. Brenda is bonkers, she loves her sister so much we are surprised she didn’t consume her in u:ter:o. Or maybe some sort of invasion of the body snatchers thing is going on…
Brianna - paranoid, exhausted, scared/skittish; think Gretchen Wiener from (Mean Girls )being thrown into a psych ward from having the sister from hell... and carries a grudge against her mother for the lost time she was trapped in her womb.
Angel - takes regular Lamaze classes just so she can order decaffeinated coffee, high strung, precise; do you ever wonder why we have 24-hour antiperspirant deodorant? people like Angel buy this product and use it as Chapstick.
Jessi - queen slay, biased, cheeky; remember the meme “hide yo kids hide yo wife” yeah bring on that pizzazz
Tom - nerd, favorite food Pizza Rolls, possesses the power of the force and the Darkside at will; Think of George Lucas as having a mole removed in the late 90s and that mold growing into a man named Tom. This guy is still evolving... kind of like the character progression of 50 shades…
Alyssa - schizophrenic/borderline personality disorder, an innocent voice says messed up things; if Taylor Swift could Astro project her Darkside and possess people to do terrible things that would be this character. Think to kill them with kindness and kindness is the name of a machete.
Monica - always throwing a pity party, tastefully dramatic, believable.; thinks that ASPCA commercial with Jennifer Love Hewitt talking about all of those poor animals when (the arms of an angel) song is playing in the background. Bring out your best mid-century acting, make the audience feel an uneasy roller coaster of emotion that ejects them from the ride quickly.
Barney - Aggressive, child of a flower child gone wrong, deeply repressed rage; Think John Bender from the breakfast club, mixed with a boy named Sue.
Morgan - insincere phony, over-the-top televangelist/ inspirational speaker; Morgan may just be the product of a Shamwow commercial, in fact, her birth was shot on (Shark Tank) for an as seen on tv newborn lineup.
Todd - Evel Knievel meets the greatest showman, multiple concussions, cocky; Remember the hog wild twirling spaghetti fork?... Yeah neither do we, Todd here on the other hand is stuck in a constant loop of euphoria for his talents due to major head trauma and thinks he is just as exciting as the first time you heard of a fork that spins your spaghetti for you.
Jeremy - going through puberty, eager to impress, thirsty; think of that kid who is first experimenting with hair gel/ pomade, takes daring advice from Fonzie, and whose sense of reality has seriously jumped the shark... special skills include smoldering, axe deodorant, leather jacket.
Tara - aggressive, American psycho, dramatic, diva; can you say method actor?.... yeah let’s hope you never need to go down this emotional rabbit hole of control issues seeded in a false sense of reality. Go ask the hooka worm when he's 10 feet tall.
Lola - imperialist, psychic powers, flirting with psychological warfare; our little Stranger Things, Winter Soldier. imagine Captain Ivan Drago from Rocky 4 mixed with Carrie and her psychic powers. This kid is willing to gain a victory at all costs, so long as that doesn’t mean studying.
Callie - kind, gentle, uncomfortable; think of the rest of the quaker oats family, left out of frame.
Mia - delusional, superfan, OCD; you know those people who dress up like the movie characters when they go to see the film. Well, Mia takes that a step further and sends hand-cut letters to the cast from torn magazine pages threatening them to fulfill her twisted fantasy. Her name stands for missing in action after all.
Matt - simp, lover boy, jealousy runs deep with love; everyone knows someone who’s been friend-zoned, hey maybe you have to, take the stage and sing your Love ballad.
Kate - breaks 4th wall the audience is thinking, blunt, normal for the most part but is seething; think of someone who has just had enough, noting too outrageous because Kate in a way is validating our audience for seeing the flaws in all of our characters.
Karl - suffers from PTDS: post-traumatic date syndrome, crazy cat guy; think Lieutenant Dan from Forest Gump after he lost his leg mixed with the pigeon lady from Home Alone. That's just a walk in the park.
Joe - listens to Grateful Dead, into philosophy, stoner; have you ever looked at someone and wondered what in the world are they thinking, people like Joe don’t even know what they are thinking.
Angelica - underachiever, didn’t do the work; think of someone who uses Wikipedia as a fact-based site and copies/ pasted off of spark notes for their biography.
Olivia - bland, materialistic, betrayed; imagine the movie her with Joachim phoenix. Now imagine that as our character but Olivia is going through a bad divorce with the phone and falling out of love.
Burma - bad luck, activist, hidden hand mastermind.; think of the cartoon (Pinky and Brain), Burma is the mouse brain. A series of hangover-style unfortunate events transpire after building up some negative energy in the universe for some time now.
