Directors like him, directors just don’t regularly produce him. You may also perform a song if you are so inclined, but directors are not producing any musicals this season and will NOT have accompaniment provided so it will either be acapella or selfaccompaniment with your own instrument (no piano will be available). You will have a sixminute slot. To be considered, please apply.

Special Agent R. Wallace TaylorMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

"IS THIS A ROOM" FBI Agent. Looser than Garrick, but just as interested in answers. Trying to be unassuming. “Menacing in their relentless blandness.”

"IS THIS A ROOM" Air Force Veteran and NSA translator. Highly intelligent, but somewhat short sighted. Athletic lean build, rock climber.

Unknown MaleMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

"IS THIS A ROOM" Identified in the transcript only as “Unknown Male.” Pops in and out of the interrogation. Definitely a bit bumbling.
