SUMMARY:You're a Good Man\, Charlie Brown Auditions - February 26\, 27\, & 28
DESCRIPTION:Auditions for You’re a Good Man\, Charlie Brown will be held in-person as follows: \nDate & Times: \n\nFebruary 26th from 2pm – 6pm\nFebruary 27th and 28th  from 7pm to 9pm\nCall backs will be March 2nd from 7pm to 9pm\n\nLocation: 15 Frank E. Rogers Blvd. South\, Harrison\, NJ (the former Holy Cross High School) \nProduction Dates: April 22\, 23 and 29\, 30 (potential matinee shows on Sundays TBA) \n  \nActors ages 21 to 75 are invited to audition. Gender for the actors playing the roles are flexible\, please be ready to audition for all roles. Three nights of auditions will be focused on singing and dancing. Please prepare 32 bars from a song from the show\, or from the song of your choice for audition night. Our choreographer will be teaching a 16 count to all auditioners\, come dressed comfortably and prepared to dance. The director is looking for our principal players and also a strong dance ensemble. Prepared sides and monologues will be handed out at callbacks. \nA note on COVID-19: all actors will be required to provide proof of vaccination when auditioning.  \nMasks will be mandatory during the rehearsal process leading up to tech week. \nVirtual Auditions: If you are unable to attend the audition dates listed above but are still interested in coming out for You’re a Good Man\, Charlie Brown\, video auditions will be accepted until February 25th at 9pm. Please submit your audition video to Director\, Amanda Castro-Conroy\, and Choreographer\, Bong Dizon\, at CharlieBrown@whatconj.org  \n  \nCharacters: Although the genders and ages for the characters are already assigned by the creator\, they are not fixed for our concept for the actors in our show. Therefore all characters genders and ages are flexible depending on individuals auditions. Charlie Brown’s director would like to keep all possibilities open and is looking to see what you bring to the characters. \n\nDance ensemble: Looking for a strong dancers to fill in background vocals and to perform the large dance numbers.\nSnoopy:  A loyal\, imaginative\, and good-natured beagle who is prone to imagining fantasy lives\, including being an author\, a college student known as “Joe Cool”\, an attorney\, and a World War I flying ace. Looking for strong vocalist and a great showman to portray this classic character.\nCharlie Brown: Good ol’ Charlie Brown is loyal\, determined\, and just a bit wishy-washy. He’s a true friend\, a dedicated baseball manager\, and very responsible when it comes to taking care of his dog\, . Charlie Brown never gives up\, even when he probably should.\nLucy Van Pelt: Though she’s often dismissed as simply bossy or crabby\, there’s more to Lucy than strong opinions. She dispenses sound advice for just five cents and looks out for her brothers\,  and Rerun. She’s confident\, strong\, and positive she’ll make a great president or queen one day.\nLinus Van Pelt: Thoughtful and respectful\, Linus is often the voice of reason among his peers. He is a deep thinker and a student of philosophy. Despite his run-ins with cantankerous Lucy\, and the fact no one understands why he carries a security blanket\, Linus remains delightfully hopeful.\nLinus’s Blanket: Looking for a strong dancer to perform alongside Linus during the duration of the show. Looking to find someone who is experienced in movement and dance and to work alongside our choreographer to make this beloved object a character of its own. Will potentially have to fill in background vocals.\nSchroeder: A moody musical genius\, Schroeder has been playing the piano since before he could walk. He also enjoys baseball and being with friends\, but he’s never happier than when playing a Beethoven piece—even if the black keys of his piano are just painted on.\nSally Brown: A highly articulate\, charismatic\, lovable\, sometimes eccentric and argumentative younger sister to Charlie Brown. Despite being portrayed as innocent and adorable\, she is noticeably intelligent for her age.

Provoked by Iago\, a jealous Roderigo tells Brabantio of Othello’s secret affair and marriage to his daughter Desdemona. Othello is brought before the Duke\, where he explains how he wooed Desdemona\, and she is brought to the chamber to confirm her willingness to marry him. Othello is then sent to defend Cyprus against the Turks. He prepares to leave\, entrusting Desdemona to his ensign\, Iago. Iago tells Roderigo that he will obtain Desdemona for him\, and persuades him to come to Cyprus\, along with his money. Iago reflects on his hatred for Othello\, and plots a way of destroying him. \n  \nCast of Characters: \n\nOthello: The greatest army general in Venice. He is intelligent\, courageous\, and honorable. His marriage to beautiful Desdemona\, the daughter of a prominent Venetian\, provokes racial slurs against him. But he carries on with nobility and dignity as he leads an army against Turks on Cyprus. His dedication to duty is eclipsed only by his dedication to Desdemona\, who follows him to Cyprus. So passionately does he love her that he cannot endure the thought of another man even looking at her. And therein lies his Achilles’ heel\, jealousy.\nIago: Military officer who schemes against Othello because the Moor did not promote him. He is evil through and through\, taking great pleasure in bringing down the great Othello.\nDesdemona: Daughter of Brabantio\, wife of Othello\, and victim of Iago’s machinations and Othello’s jealousy. She is the noblest and most unselfish character in the play.\nMichael Cassio: Othello’s lieutenant\, who is manipulated by Iago. Cassio is a hinge on which the play turns. On the one hand\, it is his promotion that arouses Iago’s jealously. On the other\, it is his alleged (but nonexistent) love affair with Desdemona that arouses Othello’s jealousy.\nDuke of Venice: Ruler who finds in favor of Othello when Desdemona’s father attacks Othello’s character.\nBrabantio: Senator and father of Desdemona. A bigot whose racism is inflamed by Iago\, he despises Othello.  First Senator\, Second Senator\nGratiano: Brabantio’s brother.  Lodovico: Brabantio’s kinsman\, who bears a message from the duke recalling Othello to Venice.\nRoderigo: Venetian gentleman and former suitor of Desdemona. He is manipulated by Iago.\nMontano: Othello’s predecessor in the government of Cyprus.\nClown: Servant to Othello.\nEmilia: Wife of Iago. She is blind to his evil until she discovers that it was he who plotted against Othello and Desdemona.\nBianca: Cassio’s mistress.\nMinor Characters: Sailor\, messenger\, herald\, officers\, gentlemen\, musicians\, attendants.\n\nAudition Materials – Othello \nAuditions will be a mix of the one monologue (see link below for character monologues) and a scene with 2 or 3 characters which will be cold read. \nhttps://www.backstage.com/monologues/?min_age=0&max_age=100&page=1&order_by=asc&play_name=Othello&fbclid=IwAR3hUHTLcH5qW4T8cPFymAi9bBxK36QxWZaQWA-rolNC0lfCHqEh-hVUml4
