CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

The Cast (PLAYS ALL ROLES!) - MALE OR FEMALE / 25 TO 75

The entire cast of 5-7 actors, male and female, plays multiple roles in the melting-pot history of America, so all types are encouraged to audition. The ability to transform (voice & body) quickly from one character to the next is a must, as well as the ability to perform narration with urgency and clarity.

While an occasional moment of mimicry may occur, technically accurate impressions of past presidents are less important than seeing human beings undergoing trying (or not so trying) times. We’re looking for strong, versatile actors above all else.

This is a very demanding show, both physically and vocally, with very little down time for any actors. Actors who submit should be imaginative and fearless, with strong theatre training. Physical theatre training is always a big plus.
