Men

Van:   (Linus)  Always the philosopher in childhood is now a pothead.

Matt :  (Pig Pen)  A pathological neat-freak (he applies a layer of  Purell to his hands whenever he touches anyone) whose dirtiness has been internalized - he’s sex-obsessed and homophobic.

Beethoven :  (Schroeder) He became the school outcast prior to events in the play when it was revealed that he was sexually-abused by his father.

 

Women

 

CB’s Sister:   (Sally) Growing up and trying to find a personality of her own.

Tricia York :  (Peppermint Patty) Loves to party and throws her own insecurities onto others.

Marcy : (Marcy)  Still calling Patty, sir, but loves to party and gossip with her friend.

Van’s Sister : (Lucy) A pyromaniac and has been institutionalized for setting the Little Red-Haired Girl’s hair on fire

 

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.  Please bring a recent headshot and resume with you if available.  

 

The play:

 

 When CB’s dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group’s bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that’s both haunting and hopeful.
