Overview

As Wicked provides a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the Story of Peter and the Starcatcher provides a humorous and fantastical backstory for the beloved character of Peter Pan and his arch-nemesis Captain Hook. In this wickedly imaginative play, we meet a poor orphan on the high seas simply called Boy because, in the absence of a mother and a father, he was never given a name. His sad and lonely world is turned upside down when he meets Molly. The daughter of famous Starcatcher Lord Astor, our heroine, is on a mission to save the world and protect a treasure trunk filled with magical star stuff from getting into the hands of evil and greedy pirate Black Stache. As they travel aboard the Neverland ship headed for a faraway land, Molly and Boy learn about love and friendship and forge an unbreakable bond.

SEVERAL SCENES AND MANY WILL PLAY MORE THAN ONE DIFFERENT AND UNFORGETTABLE

CHARACTER.

WHILE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS SPECIFY A GENDER, ALL ROLES ARE POTENTIALLY OPEN TO

ALL GENDERS.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

Black Stache - A notorious pirate, terrorizing the seven seas in search of a worthy adversary. Heartless, hirsute, and suspiciously well-read. Partial to the poetical and theatrical, which causes him to behave quite flamboyantly. Gender: Male, Age: 30 to 50

Molly Aster - A young girl and Starcatcher apprentice who is taken aboard the Neverland as precious cargo. Curious and intelligent, she is only beginning to understand the confusing romantic longings that come with her age. She will risk anything for the sake of what is right. Gender: Female, Age: 16 to 25

Boy/Peter - A lonely and hardened orphan who doesn't miss much. Nameless, homeless, and friendless at the beginning of the play and a hero by the end. He wants a home and a family more than anything, and dreams of a life of being free. Gender: Male, Age: 16 to 25

Grempkin - The schoolmaster of St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost Boys. Mean and malodorous, he revels in keeping his boys in the dark and malnourished. Gender: Male, Age: 40 to 60 Optional Doublings include: FIGHTING PRAWN; MACK; SÁNCHEZ.

Mrs. Bumbrake - Molly's nanny, a stereotypical British cad and outfitted with the duty of teaching Molly about womanhood. She still has enough charm in her age to attract a sailor or two. Optional Doubling as TEACHER. Gender: Female Presenting, Age: 40 to 60

Bill Slank - The vicious orphaned captain of the Neverland. Does not possess the capacity to lead anyone but himself, which puts himself constantly in disaster. Greedy enough to send boys to their doom for thechance of gaining starstuff. Gender: Male, Age: 35 to 55. Optional Doubling as HAWKING CLAM.

Smee - Black Stache's first mate. He is single-mindedly dedicated to his captain's every whim. Gender: Male, Age: 25 to 55

Prentiss - An orphan, ambitious, hyper-articulate, and logical. He yearns to be a leader, even when he knows in his heart that he'll never be one. A bit of a blowhard with a touch of cowardice. Gender: Male, Age: 13 to 25

Alf - A seafarer, an old sea dog proud of his tenure. His kind heart gives him an appeal to the feminine sensibility. Gender: Male, Age: 50 to 65

Lord Leonard Aster - Molly's father, a loyal subject to the Queen. The very model of a Victorian English gentleman, he is a faithful friend and a secret Starcatcher. Gender: Male, Age: 40 to 60

Captain Robert Falcon Scott - Lord Aster's old school friend, the captain of the Wasp, Britain's fastest frigate. Lives with nautical bravura and heroic patriotism. Gender: Male, Age: 35 to 45

CENTERstage Productions presents The Iceman Cometh, a play written by Eugene O’Neill in 1939 and first published in 1946, premiered on Broadway the same year. 

A monologue will be provided at auditions and sides will be provided at callbacks.

Eugene O’Neill, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936, is generally considered to be one of our greatest playwrights. And The Iceman Cometh is considered by many to be his finest work. 

The play is set at Harry Hope’s rundown saloon and boarding house in 1912 and tells the story of a group of aimless patrons and boarders whose empty lives underscore the human need for dreaming and hope. It opens with the rag-tag group awaiting the arrival of their favorite visitor, charismatic salesman Theodore “Hickey” Hickman. Typically, Hickey brings the party and brightens their dismal lives. When Hickey appears this time, things take a turn. Hickey has a dark secret, is newly sober, and urges the men to find a new life of peace and contentment. Thrown into disarray by their fervent friend, the men at Harry Hope’s bar are forced to confront their life choices and see the reality of who they are. There is one member of the group who is not impressed with Hickey’s turnaround and demands to know why Hickey has changed his life so drastically. Eventually, Hickey is forced to reveal the devastating turn of events in his own life.

Casting Breakdown:

Theodore Hickman

A salesman. Immediately likable, Hickey speaks like a salesman with an easy flow of glib, persuasive convincingness. Hickey is the saloon’s anxiously awaited guest, his arrival promising free drinks and merriment. However, this time the group’s “messiah” comes bearing a different gospel of salvation, urging them to divest themselves of their pipe dreams and make peace with themselves. Male, 40 to 60’s

Larry Slade

Once a Syndicalist-Anarchist. Having bitterly retired from the work, he presents himself as a man who has chosen to watch the carnage form the grandstand of philosophical detachment and eagerly awaits his death. O’Neill notes that Larry has a mystic’s meditative eyes with a gleam of sharp sardonic humor in them and his look of tired tolerance gives his face the quality of a weary priest. Male, 60’s

Don Parritt.

Parritt is a young man who is on the run having tipped off the police about his mother’s anarchist activities. He searches for Larry who he believes was in love with his mother and who he believes was the one person who cared for him. Male, 20 to 30’s

Rocky is an Italian American who tends bar at night. He maintains Pearl and Margie as “ladies of the night” but fervently claims he is not their pimp. His temperament is prickly and he is hot-headed but loyal to Harry and protective of the establishment. Male, 30 to 50’s

Hugo

Hugo spends much of the play drunk and when he does speak it is with a heavy German accent. He intermittently denounces the crowd and whines for a drink. Male, 60’s

Ed Mosher

A born grafter, con man, and practical joker. He had a career in the circus. He is Hope’s brother-in-law. Male, 50 to 60’s

Pat McGloin

Plot Synopsis: Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist who has grown unhappy with his life, takes on the peculiar case of Alan Strang, a reserved teenager who has been accused of brutally blinding six horses. Dysart slowly unravels Alan’s background, learning that he grew up in a strained household with a devoutly religious mother and an atheist father. But as Dysart begins to trace the roots of Alan’s problems, his own also begins to surface.

Characters:

● Alan Strang – teen-age Patient, must be 18 or older. (Nudity Required and will be tastefully done)

○ An intense teenage boy, with a deep connection to religion, who blinds six horses one night in Harry Dalton’s stable. He is the son of Frank and Dora Strang. Up until the crime, Alan worked a job that he hated at an appliance store and spent weekends in Dalton’s stable, grooming the horses. Sent to psychiatrist Martin Dysart for treatment, Alan slowly discloses details about his repressed childhood and his fascination with horses. He eventually reveals the secret rituals he practices in praise of Equus, the horse-god he has invented.

● Frank Strang – his Father

○ Alan Strang’s father, a devoted atheist, and a hardworking, “self-improving” man. Frank’s strict and sometimes-explosive nature is the main source of tension in the Strang household. In addition, his atheism often comes into conflict with the religious feeling of his wife Dora, and son Alan. Though Frank seems to be an exceedingly disciplined and rigid person, his own vices – and needs – are revealed when he is seen at the same pornography theater to which Jill Mason takes Alan.

● Dora Strang – his Mother

○ Alan Strang’s mother. A devout Christian and an indulgent parent, Dora brought up her son by telling him Bible stories and secretly allowing him to watch television, an activity her husband, Frank Strang, forbade. She is heartbroken by Alan’s crime but believes that neither she nor Frank is to blame for his bizarre behavior.

● Hesther Salomon – a Magistrate/Dysart’s confidant

○ A magistrate who convinces the court to send Alan Strang to get psychiatric treatment instead of going to prison. She is also Martin Dysart’s close friend and confidante.

● Jill Mason – Young Girl, must be at least 18 years old. (Nudity Required tastefully done..an intimacy coach will be used for the play)

○ An employee at Harry Dalton’s stable. A kind and free-spirited person, she meets Alan Strang at the appliance store where he works, recognizes that he is often watching the horses at the stable, and gets him the job working weekends at the stable. Jill takes a liking to Alan, and eventually takes him on a date to a pornography theater and then back to the stable for sex. Alan’s failure to have sex with Jill is the catalyst for his crime against the horses.

● Harry Dalton – stable Owner

○ The owner of the horse stable where Jill Mason and Alan Strang work.

● Nurse

○ A nurse at Rokesby Psychiatric Hospital who cares for Alan Strang.

● Six Actors, including :

○ The Horseman who also plays Nugget

○ The man who gives Alan Strang his first horseback ride, when he was just a boy and who eventually Alan becomes obsessed with as his substitute Christ/God figure.

○ Horses

■ Another five horses who are instrumental in Alan’s crime as well as diagnosis. They will wear sculpted horse heads and walk on ‘hooves’. Nugget will have to carry Alan on his back. There will be a ‘movement’ choreographer.

Strong Actors needed, ages 20-99. All ethnicities and ages are strongly encouraged to audition. Only the part of Martin Dystart is precast.

PRODUCTION DETAILS

As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can't control, a destiny he doesn't want, and a mythology textbook's worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus's master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him. Adapted from the best-selling book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed mythical adventure.

CENTERstage Productions announces open auditions for the drama based on the 1955 hit film, Rebel Without A Cause. Dramatized by James Fuller from the screenplay by Stewart Stern. Adaptation by Irving Shulman from a story by Nicholas Ray. Directed by Jane Langan

Jim Stark is once again the new kid in town. He feels detached from everyone, especially his own family, who pick up and move whenever he gets into trouble. But Jim is hopeful that this time they will stay and he can have a fresh start. He makes a new friend, Plato--a slightly odd but eager kid, ready to be a buddy and hang out with Jim. He also catches the eye of Judy, a neighbor girl who tries to play it cool. But right away, Jim finds himself confronted by Buzz Gunderson, the leader of the local gang (and Judy’s boyfriend). To prove himself and his courage, Jim agrees to a chicken run: Each boy will drive a stolen car towards the edge of the cliff, as fast as they can. The first one to jump is chicken. But when this test of honor goes horribly wrong, Jim is confronted with much deadlier consequences than a fight after school. Before the night is over, Jim will have to not only save himself, but protect his new family of Judy and Plato from the vengeful gang. Based on the 1955 iconic movie of the same name, Rebel Without a Cause is an excellent character study for young actors.
