Casting "The Red Umbrella". Rehearsals begin Dec. 1; runs Dec. 10-13 for five performances.
Peter: late 20s-late 30s, an uncommonly gentle everyman with universal appeal, the audience should feel a strong instinctive urge to take care of him, unwittingly irresistible, immediately sympathetic, vulnerable and haunted, a guileless dreamer, affably off-beat, charmingly awkward and disarmingly sensitive, a guy’s guy, fighting fit and magnetically good-looking (without knowing it), should not appear too airbrushed or polished, his vulnerability is the true source of his attractiveness, there is a suggestion of a man-boy about him, someone who’s emotional development stalled in his teens, is looking for direction and purpose, and we should root for him, an innocent lamb amongst wolves;
Death: 20s, should appear more youthful than either Peter of Angela, a vision, vivacious, ethereal and unattainably beautiful, passionate, impulsive, chaotic, incredibly lonely, glows with compassion, empathy and love, as is often the case with unworldly beauty, is somewhat shy, misanthropic and can be alienating, there is no suggestion of pornography or exhibitionism in her carriage, her voice or her presentation, a mischievous prankster who holds the wisdom of Time, an intoxicating, effervescent, forever youthful goddess, will have to appear in a swimsuit—all actresses being submitted need to be comfortable with this, should be in great physical shape, and should look healthy and immaculately groomed, her appearance and manner should be natural and totally effortless;
Angela: late 20s-late 30s, a contemporary of Peter’s, a fragile survivor with a heart-rending smile, is not brittle or cold, but yielding, pliant, warm, marked by great tragedy, and hides wit and quirkiness, remarkably pretty in her own way, should not look like second fiddle in comparison to Death, pragmatic, straightforward, human, a realist who has found great romance in embracing the imperfect, there is something movingly honest about her, there is also great sadness within her, but this has not closed her to the world, is a sensitive live wire who feels everything exponentially more than the rest of us, plays no games and has no hidden agenda, a lost soul looking for the solace of connection, broken porcelain held together by pure resilience.
Note: Looking for actors who have the ability to collaborate and to be physically creative on a bare stage. Understanding what it is to be theatrical and having the ability to be clear, straightforward and unfussy with heightened text are key for this project. View points or movement work training is desirable, as is practice of good vocal usage.
