Seeking Equity Actors for 2025-2026 Season Shows

Female presenting, mezzo/belter. Diana is seriously struggling with her mental health. She wants to be a good mom, but is tortured by her painful past. Her mental illness has taken a toll over the years, on Diana and on her family. "Next to Normal"

Male presenting, tenor. Diana's loyal husband. He wants the best for her and for their family and has been a constant in Diana's tumultuous life. Holding onto hope has become increasingly difficult and his desire to control the chaos in his life sometimes backfires. "Next to Normal"

18+ to play 16, female presenting, mezzo/belter. Diana & Dan's troubled daughter. An accomplished pianist and hardworking student, her struggles are exacerbated by her mother's behavior and her fear of developing the same mental health issues. When things get bad at home she begins self-medicating with pharmaceuticals and dance clubs. NOTE: This role will require smoking and intimacy with the actor playing Henry (kissing). Piano skills a plus, but not required. "Next to Normal"

To play 18, male presenting, rock tenor. Diana & Dan's son. Charismatic, charming, and also dangerous. Gabe is different things to different people in his family. Sometimes he’s the perfect son, sometimes he’s a nightmare. This role requires a strong, athletic mover. "Next to Normal"

18+ to play 16-17, male presenting, bari-tenor. Natalie's classmate - a charming slacker. Henry is a jazz musician and sometimes philosopher. He’s sympathetic and romantic in a way that takes Natalie off guard. This role will require smoking and intimacy with the actor playing Natalie (kissing). "Next to Normal"

Male presenting, bari-tenor. Dr. Madden is Diana's psychiatrist. Good at his job, supportive for Diana and the family and occasionally mistaken for a rock star. Dr. Fine is Diana’s first psychiatrist, who isn’t particularly interested in listening to her and relies heavily on medication for treatment. "Next to Normal"

Male presenting, non-singing role. A warm, charismatic, and engaging storyteller; omniscient but not overpowering. A good-natured curmudgeon with a deadpan sense of humor, Jean focuses the action, keeps the story moving and holds the audiences' attention with his presence and spark. "A Christmas Story"

Female presenting, mezzo. More in charge of the family than the Old Man is, but she would never let him know it. She is warm and affable… at times a bit daffy… but not a pushover. A vibrant woman, she is always busy, especially anytime she’s in the kitchen. She is the secret engine that keeps the family running, keeping the household together with an impressive balancing act. "A Christmas Story"

Male presenting, Bari-Tenor. He’s a man with a good heart, though it is buried beneath a sometimes gruff (and rough) exterior. He’s a devoted husband and father who loves his family but doesn’t overtly show it. He usually expects the worst but is capable of excitement if the situation warrants (though it usually doesn’t). In his moments of fantasy, he is transformed from his usual grumbling blue-collar self to a true song and dance man. "A Christmas Story"

Female presenting, mezzo/belter. The local elementary school teacher. A seemingly stereotypical 1940s educator – prim and proper. Stern when necessary, though warm – and even humorous – when the situation merits it. In Ralph’s fantasy, she becomes a dynamic, show-stopping, brassy belter and tapper – a force to be reckoned with. "A Christmas Story"

Male presenting, Baritone. The Santa Claus at Higbee’s Department Store is decidedly unlike the typical “Jolly Old Elf” of legend and lore. Ill-tempered and slightly inebriated, he is unhappy with his job. He dismisses each child as quickly as possible in an attempt to put an end to the day and, perhaps, head for the nearest “watering hole.” "A Christmas Story"

The adult ensemble members will play multiple roles. All must be strong singers and dancers. "A Christmas Story"

Male presenting. An American scholar of symbology, steeped in art and religious studies. An ordinary, intelligent man who has been thrust into extraordinary circumstances. "The Da Vinci Code"

Female presenting. A French cryptologist who works for the Paris police. Her grandfather’s murder sets off a series of events that lead her to uncover secrets about her family. Intelligent and empathetic, but someone who is not afraid to take action when she needs to. "The Da Vinci Code"

Male presenting. A monk who was bullied as a child and has become a religious zealot. He is an assassin and willing to do anything to serve the Opus Dei order. NOTE: This actor will be required to simulate self-flagellation on stage, shirtless. "The Da Vinci Code"

60+, male presenting. A French museum curator and scholar. Sophie’s grandfather and a Da Vinci expert, brilliant but secretive. "The Da Vinci Code"

Male presenting. A veteran French detective who is convinced Robert is a murderer. Smart enough to listen to his colleagues and admit when he is wrong. "The Da Vinci Code"

60+, male presenting. A wealthy British eccentric and scholar. A colleague of Robert’s who has unique theories about The Holy Grail and his obsession drives him to great lengths. He uses a cane or forearm crutches to walk, although no specific mobility issue is directly referenced in the story. "The Da Vinci Code"

Female presenting. Collet is a French police officer working for Fache. The Church Volunteer is British and works at the Temple Church in London. Doubles as various non-speaking roles. "The Da Vinci Code"

Female presenting. Sister Sandrine is a French nun who has a run-in with Silas. She has a sympathetic heart, but is not a fool. Marie is Sophie’s grandmother, a French woman who Sophie had long thought to be dead. Doubles as various non-speaking roles. "The Da Vinci Code"

Male presenting. Remy is an ex-con now working as Sir Leigh Teabing’s butler, as well as his eyes, ears and bodyguard. Doubles as a British Police Officer and various non-speaking roles. "The Da Vinci Code"

Female presenting. Vertet is a French bank manager, who is also connected to Opus Dei. The Docent works at Westminster Abbey in London. Doubles various non-speaking roles. "The Da Vinci Code"

Female presenting. Slightly older than Henry. She’s an ecologist who is equally passionate about her experiments and her political activism. NOTE: This role will require smoking. "Another Revolution"
