Dancer/ Singers For "You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown" Show
Looking for a cast of diverse actors and actresses to portray various characters for upcoming production of "You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown". ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: Charles Schulz’s beloved comic comes to life in Clark Gesner’s classic musical, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. The whole gang is here: bossy Lucy is hopelessly in love with piano prodigy Schroeder who doesn’t give her the time of day, perfectionist Sally is still mocking blanket-toting Linus, Snoopy is in the doghouse, and “blockhead,” himself, Charlie Brown, is in rare form. Rate: Please note this is a non-paying production. Additional info: Non-union. All parts are open to any race or gender; however, they may need to present as male or female. Just know that even though the show is performed by adults playing children, the cast should all appear to be the same age. There may be an added ensemble for the show. These ensemble members must be able to dance or at least move well. Those auditioning will be asked to perform a 16-32 bar cut of music in the style of the show or portraying the character desired. In addition, piano sheet music should be brought to the audition for a live accompanist to play. For dance, please bring a comfortable pair of shoes and appropriate clothing for movement. Callbacks will be held on the evening of Tuesday, April 4, as needed. PLEASE NOTE: Not all roles will necessarily be called back. Rehearsals will be determined once the show is cast and will be weekday evenings and possibly weekends and will be starting as soon as the show has been fully cast. The show runs from June 9-25, 2023, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm. When applying, please include your information.
7 roles
(male presenting with a baritone vocal range, Bb2-F4) - Optimistic yet self deprecating, Charlie Brown is a lovable loser. His stubbornness and determination means that through all of his many failures, he always keeps trying. A glass is half full kind of guy.
(female presenting with a mezzo vocal range, B3-Ab5) - Charlie Brown's very articulate, charismatic, and argumentative younger sister. She may come across as sweet and lovable, but she is much smarter than she seems. She has a crush on Linus.
(female presenting with a mezzo vocal range, G3-F5) - Crabby, manipulative, and self absorbed, Lucy is the know-it-all type. Although soft and kind at heart, she has a difficult time letting that through her rough exterior. She has a crush on Schroeder.
(male presenting with a baritone vocal range, Bb2-E4) - Charlie's best friend and Lucy's younger brother, Linus is by far the most intelligent of the bunch. He may not seem it because of his dependency on his blanket and his constant sucking of his thumb, he is also the most mature.
(tenor vocal range, Bb2-Ab4) - Another friend of Charlie, Schroeder's biggest love is music, especially Beethoven. A talented pianist, Schroeder can be oblivious to the on goings of the group, Lucy's advances in particular.
(tenor vocal range, C3-A4) - Charlie Brown's gentle, wise cracking, joyous, and immensely imaginative dog. Comedic timing and physicality is a must for this character.
Potential ensemble performers may be added and they will play the parts of other characters from the Peanuts universe. These characters will be featured via dance and some other ways as well.
