New Tampa Players is seeking a diverse cast to tell this story. Auditions are open to all, and no roles are pre-cast.

Characters:

Black Stache

A notorious pirate, terrorizing the seven seas in search of a worthy adversary. Heartless, hirsute, and suspiciously well read. Partial to the poetical and theatrical, which causes him to behave quite flamboyantly.

Gender: male

Age: 30 to 50

Molly Aster

A young girl and Starcatcher apprentice who is taken aboard the Neverland as precious cargo. Curious and intelligent, she is only beginning to understand the confusing romantic longings that come with her age. She will risk anything for the sake of what is right.

Gender: female

Age: 13 to 25

Boy/Peter

A lonely and hardened orphan who doesn't miss much. Nameless, homeless, and friendless at the beginning of the play and a hero by the end. He wants a home and a family more than anything, and dreams of a life of being free.

Gender: male

Age: 13 to 25

Grempkin

The schoolmaster of St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost Boys. Mean and malodorous, he revels in keeping his boys in the dark and malnourished. Optional Doublings include: FIGHTING PRAWN; MACK; SÁNCHEZ.

Gender: male

Age: 40 to 60

Mrs. Bumbrake

Molly's nanny, a stereotypical British cad and outfitted with the duty of teaching Molly about womanhood. She still has enough charm in her age to attract a sailor or two. Optional Doubling as TEACHER.

Gender: female

Age: 40 to 60

Bill Slank

The vicious orphaned captain of the Neverland. Does not possess the capacity to lead anyone but himself, which puts himself constantly in disaster. Greedy enough to send boys to their doom for the chance of gaining starstuff. Optional Doubling as HAWKING CLAM.

Gender: male

Age: 35 to 55

Smee

Black Stache's first mate. He is single-mindedly dedicated to his captain's every whim.

Gender: male

Age: 25 to 55

Prentiss

An orphan, ambitious, hyper articulate, and logical. He yearns to be leader, even when he knows in his heart that he'll never be one. A bit of a blowhard with a touch of cowardice.

Gender: male

Age: 13 to 25

Alf

A seafarer, an old sea dog proud of his tenure. His kind heart gives him an appeal to the feminine sensibility.

Gender: male

Age: 50 to 65

Lord Leonard Aster

Molly's father, a loyal subject to the Queen. The very model of a Victorian English gentleman, he is a faithful friend and a secret Starcatcher.

Gender: male

Age: 40 to 60

Captain Robert Falcon Scott

Lord Aster's old school friend, the captain of the Wasp, Britain's fastest frigate. Lives with nautical bravura and heroic patriotism.

Gender: male

Age: 35 to 45

Ted

An orphan obsessed with food. A natural performer with easy wit and quite poetic language.

Gender: male

Age: 13 to 25

Rehearsal Conflict Information
One of our artistic team's goals is to be efficent with everyone's time throughout the rehearsal process. To accomplish this goal, we need to know everyone's rehearsal conflicts before casting.

Please list all rehearsal conflicts on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays evenings and Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons from October 26th-February 1st

Note: Although we understand that there is auditioning wisdom that says not to report all of your rehearsal conflicts on your audition form in case it factors into casting, we urge you to report ALL of your conflicts. Added conflicts disrupt the rehearsal process and frustrate the artistic team, the production team, and the cast.
List Rehearsal Conflicts:
Callbacks
Callbacks will consist of vocal selections, scenes, and monologues from the script.
Callbacks will be on Wednesday, October 21 from 7PM-10 PM at Uptown Stage. Are you available for callbacks, if called?
