Squire TrelawneyBoth genders40-56 y.o.All ethnicities

"Treasure Island" show. Male presenting. "A wealthy landowner", Squire Trelawney is enthusiastic and authoritative, accustomed to being the loudest in the room. He embodies the comforts of the British countryside, and though he is well educated his street smarts are limited. The actor cast in this role will only play this character. Extensive stage combat.

Long John SilverBoth genders30-56 y.o.All ethnicities

"Treasure Island" show. "A one-legged pirate, appearing first as a cook", the secret leader of the pirate band. Unnervingly strong and charismatic, Silver is deceitful, disloyal, and greedy. Yet, there is genuine affection for Jim, and the two develop a deep bond. The actor cast in this role will only play this character. Extensive stage combat and depiction of physical disability (missing leg).

Captain SmollettBoth genders30-56 y.o.All ethnicities

"Treasure Island" show. Female presenting. The captain of the Hispaniola, and a consummate professional of the seafaring trade. A skilled negotiator and possessed of a keen instinct, she is a rule follower whose personality clashes with Jim's impulsive nature. The actor cast in this role will play additional ensemble roles.

RedruthBoth genders40-56 y.o.All ethnicities

"Treasure Island" show. "Servant to Squire Trelawney" and perpetually longsuffering as a result. A personality completely opposite to Trewlawney's boisterous nature, but deep loyalty brings Redruth on board for the adventure... reluctantly. The actor cast in this role will play additional ensemble roles. Depiction of fatal injury.

Israel HandsBoth genders20-54 y.o.All ethnicities

"Treasure Island" show. A coxwain onboard the Hispaniola, and Silver's right hand, Israel is the epitome of a reckless pirate. An advocate for classic pirate behaviour (drunkenness, bloodshed, mayhem), those impulsive ways get the better of Israel in the end. The actor cast in this role will play additional ensemble roles. Depiction of fatal injury, and intimacy in the form of close quarters intimidation.
