EnsembleBoth genders20-40 y.o.African-American

Seeking dynamic, versatile performers to portray the vibrant world of Le Papillon Rouge — dancers, cabaret entertainers, patrons, musicians, staff, and the heartbeat of the nightclub itself. Strong movement ability and theatrical presence required. Performers should be comfortable with jazz/cabaret-inspired staging, character-driven storytelling, and creating atmosphere through ensemble work. The ensemble serves as both the spectacle and emotional pulse of the production.

JEAN-PIERREMale30-40 y.o.African-American

Jean - Pierre is handsome, polished, ambitious, calculating, and dangerously observant. He comes from the respectable world where appearances matter, reputations can determine your future, and certain truths are better left unspoken. Pierre has learned how to succeed in that world. He knows how to dress. He knows how to speak. He knows when to smile. And most importantly, he knows how to recognize weakness.
