"They Say" & "Something Wicked" Plays Seeks Performers
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for "They Say" & "Something Wicked" plays. More details are below. About the plays: "They Say" brand new, Bridgerton-inspired prequel to Much Ado About Nothing. Set before Beatrice and Benedick became Shakespeare’s most famously combative almost-lovers, this original romantic drama imagines their first courtship, the pressures of reputation and favour, and the choices that helped shape the people we meet in Messina in the Shakespearean classic. Gossip, desire, social maneuvering, old wounds, and one very important question - who is Lady Goodword? They Say is a sexy, witty love story about who gets to tell the story and who pays the cost. "Something Wicked" is officially the title of production of Macbeth, chosen to reflect the horror-leaning vibes. All original Shakespearean text, all the infamous tragedy. You can expect shadow and silhouette play. Steeped in horror and fantasy, this production follows a warrior whose encounter with three mysterious figures sets him and his wife on a brutal path toward power, paranoia, and ruin. With witches, prophecy, blood, and a world that feels increasingly less human the deeper Macbeth descends into it, Something Wicked is a visceral exploration of ambition, fate, and what happens when wanting the crown means becoming something monstrous.

19 roles
"They Say" play. Hero’s cousin and governess. Smart, poor, opinionated and VERY aware that these qualities are not helping her marriage prospects. (Which she is more than okay with.) Loves poetry, fencing and being right. Talks too much. Thinks too much.
"They Say" play. Sweet and young, just at the start of her first season. Kind, romantic and catastrophically awkward around men. Quiet until she decides something, at which point she just won’t stop. Has taken it upon herself to get Beatrice married.
"They Say" play. Leonato’s brand-new second wife. Practical, warm and very good at surviving within the rules of society. Loves Beatrice and Hero dearly. Would really appreciate it if everyone stopped asking where she came from and whether she feels sick.
"They Say" play. Hero’s lady’s maid. Knows everything happening in the house. Funny, mischievous and much more experienced than the lady she serves.

"They Say" play. The youngest soldier. Handsome, earnest, and deeply inexperienced with actual women despite thinking about them quite a lot. Meets Hero and loses whatever game he may have had.
"They Say" play. Soldier and Prince Pedro’s favourite troublemaker. Irreverent, certainly not a gentleman, and very comfortable ignoring the rules of polite society. Probably has more fun than anyone in Messina.
