Performers Wanted for "Picasso at the Lapin Agile”! Show

Barkeep and Owner of the Lapin Agile. Lots of physicality. Onstage for almost the entire duration of the show. Must be comfortable with improv/ad-libbing and crowd work. When it comes to love, he is maybe a little more insecure than he thought, excels at his job, salt-of-the-earth, practical, occasionally, he is exceptionally wise

French accent: Constantly on and offstage. An older gentleman. As he is sure to remind you. Has to strike a balance between good-natured and cheeky, he cannot be too sweet but also cannot be completely disrespectful, think older George Clooney-esque schmaltzy energy (or at least that’s how he envisions himself).

Onstage for almost the entire duration of the show. A waitress, girlfriend of Freddy, works at the Lapin Agile, think of a young Gertrude Stein. Sharp, witty, knows who she is and what she wants, self-assured, poised, dignified, smarter than anyone gives her credit for, bored, knows the power of her feminine wiles

Jovial, understanding, patient, scholarly, brilliant, competitive (when provoked).

Character age/presents as 19, (seeking an actor 21+ as this role also doubles the Countess and A Female Admirer) Suzanne is a bright young woman. Endless potential. Perhaps a bit naive but quickly becoming less so. Flirty, charming, resolute, and savvier than she’s given credit for.

Light German accent. Brainy, brilliant, bubbly, smarter than Einstein.

Silly, vain, chasing after a foolish charlatan, a diehard fan.

He is Picasso’s art dealer, a smart businessman, brusque, direct, will occasionally indulge his more fun-loving side.

Larger than life, vibrant, egotistical, charming, not sincere but not unlikeable, dynamic, compelling.

Any Accent or no accent, perhaps he is American. Can be the same age as or a little older than Picasso and Einstein. A charlatan, a wannabe, possesses a lot of unearned confidence and no real talent or skill to back it up.

Southern drawl. Let’s just say he’s spent a night or two at the Heartbreak Hotel. He enters wearing blue suede shoes. A time traveler. Charming AND sincere, docile, demure, wise as he brings with him knowledge of the future.
