Casting Talent for Upcoming Season Show

Lost soul drifting like a waterlily from one enabler to another. She unknowingly relies on her helplessness to elicit soft treatment. While she doesn’t have a bad bone in her body, it’s unclear if the good ones she has are strong enough to support her.

This guy has never met a consequence that he fully comprehended, and has always been just barely attractive or charismatic enough to have gotten away with his transgressions. He’s a stud in the most animal sense of the word, including a severely lacking degree of home training.

This poor guy. He’ll stick up for just about anybody but himself, and he’s found himself in the unfortunate position of caring for Violet. He gets bad news and the short end of the stick practically all the time.

A gay screenwriter of some note who is pressing through a midlife crisis. He picks up “trade” for the dangerous thrill of maybe being assaulted, but when faced with a kind-hearted young person, he’s repelled by his own jaded outlook. One day he will haunt Palm Springs as a revenant of ennui. "Small Craft Warnings"

A clownish, earnest mama’s boy who will stop at nothing to care for the women in his life. Quick to fight or cry, he’s enamored of the widow Serafina from the moment he encounters her. Immediately he wants to make her the queen of his little corner of the world, completely unaware he’s more of a jester than a prince. The Rose Tattoo

A diverse group of character performers who can physicalize and quickly switch between various community members ranging from a well-meaning priest, a medicine woman, a racist neighbor, a schoolteacher, and various lady busybodies. Italian accents will be required of all performers in these tracks. The Rose Tattoo

The writer who would become the Tennessee Williams of legend, at the end of his last summer of obscurity. The character spends half the time in the play inhabiting his early days, and the other half in a sort of double exposure reflecting much later in life about that time. Auditioners are asked not to do a “Tennessee Williams accent.”

A dancer brimming with promise and sexual aloofness. He is the object of August’s affection. Does not have to be a professional dancer, but must have some basic proficiency in one of the following forms of dance: ballet or modern.

A character August the elder invents to reflect on the choices he made as August the younger. She is destined to die so that she cannot exist in the present, and so her observations are razor sharp. She is equally forgiving and staunch when faced with August’s courses of action.

Ability to switch swiftly between archetypal roles in the Tennessee Williams catalogue. Each performer will be playing various genders, ages, and experiences. Auditioners for these roles are asked to bring two short comedic monologues (not from Tennessee Williams plays) that showcase two distinctly different characters. "Tennessee Williams Abridged"
