22 roles

Diana GoodmanFemale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

The matriarch of the family who is living with bi-polar disorder brought on by a traumatic event earlier in life. Witty and self-aware, but in all essence wants what is best for her family. "NEXT TO NORMAL"

Dan GoodmanMale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

The patriarch of the family who despite his wife’s illness will go to any length to keep up the façade of the “perfect, loving family.” Tender, patient, and kind, a man who does what he thinks is best. "NEXT TO NORMAL"

Gabe GoodmanMale18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

Diana and Dan’s son and Natalie’s older brother. Energetic, carefree, and charming. He knows that he is his mother’s favorite child and will go to any lengths to ensure that security. "NEXT TO NORMAL"

Dr. Madden/Dr. FineMale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Two of Diana’s doctors (played by the same actor). Dr. Madden, a psychopharmacologist, and more traditional when it comes to treatment. Dr. Fine is Diana’s “rock star” and far more practical when it comes to Diana’s treatment and more willing to work with her and her family. "NEXT TO NORMAL"

SEYMOURMale30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

A dorky plant aficionado secretly pining for his coworker Audrey. From humble beginnings, he plays the part of his own story’s underdog until he makes a Faustian bargain with a sentient sprout. His career and love life blossom as his morality deteriorates. "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS"

AUDREYFemale30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

The human equivalent of an encouraging smile, Audrey is sincere, sincerely kind, and classically innocent. Because of her past, she believes she deserves no better than abuse at the hands of her current beau, but despite that, she still allows herself to dream about an idyllic, Donna Reid-esque future with Seymour. "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS"

MR. MUSHNIKMale50-69 y.o.All ethnicities

Mr. Mushnik is a surly curmudgeon (and quite frankly, he comes by it fairly). He owns a failing plant shop in Skid Row and serves as a begrudging father figure to Seymour, who he took in as an orphan, and a much more willing patriarch to his other employee, Audrey. Despite being a desperate opportunist - and who could blame him - underneath his gruff exterior, he’s a softie. "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS"

ORINMale30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Look up the word “sadist” in the dictionary and you’ll find Orin’s photo. The manifestation of every person’s dentophobia. An abusive bully who would lust for himself if he met himself on the street. Audrey’s horrifyingly cruel boyfriend with an intensely intimate relationship with nitrous oxide. "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS"

THE PLANTBoth genders18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Ageless. A rapidly growing creeper with an insatiable appetite for human flesh. The plant is manipulative, brilliant, seductive, scary AF, and makes a solid point. "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS"

CRYSTAL, RONNETTE, and CHIFFONFemale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Participants in the story, the Greek Chorus of the story, the audience’s conduit to the story, these girls see all, hear all, and tolerate nothing. They’d laugh at their own jokes except they don’t have to ‘cause they’re legitimately funny and everybody else laughs for them "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS"

Willy Wonka / Candy ManMale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Enigmatic and charming, Mr. Wonka sets out on a mission to find the next great chocolatier, engaging in unusual methods. "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"

Grandpa JoeMale50-89 y.o.All ethnicities

A beacon of positivity. Grandpa Joe is the grandfather we all wish we had when we were Charlie's age. Caring, patient, sweet, and always reminds Charlie to look on the bright side. Shares Charlie’s imagination and sense of adventure. "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"

Mrs. BucketFemale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Full of warmth and brightness, Mrs. Bucket supports her family and shares her love openly. "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"

Augustus GloopMale18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

Augustus can’t help himself when it comes to just about anything! Gluttonous and adorable "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"

Mrs. GloopFemale35-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Mrs. Gloop is Augustus's mother who has overindulged her son and proud of it. She accompanies Augustus on the tour of the factory. "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"

Veruca SaltFemale18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

Veruca is wealthy, class-conscious, and completely spoiled. Loves to show of her en pointe ballet skills (or lack thereof, depending). Greedy and swarthy. "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"

Mr. SaltMale35-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Mr. Salt's solution to most problems is to buy his way out and loves to do so for his daughter, Veruca. He accompanies Veruca on the tour of the factory "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"

Violet BeauregardeFemale18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

Gum chewer extraordinaire. Influencer and Queen of Pop- your next Tik Tok obsession. Vain and delightful. "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"

Mr. BeauregardeMale35-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Mr. Beauregarde loves his role as stage dad, ready and willing to hold the phone for Violet’s next post. All about the money. He accompanies Violet on the tour of the factory "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"

Mike TeaveeMale18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

TV junky and addicted to video games, the Internet, and any other mind- numbing technological device. Mike is bratty, loud, and obnoxious. Slothful and striking. "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"

Ms. TeaveeFemale35-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Makes her own bathtub gin and loves her gun collection. She accompanies Mike on the tour of the factory "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY"
