Breakdown
SEEKING:
LAUGHTER ON THE 23RD FLOOR – by Neil Simon
(Based on Sid Caesar’s SHOW OF SHOWS)
Director: Keith Baker
1st Rehearsal: January 6, 2013
Opens: March 18, 2014
Closes: April 13, 2014
Lucas: Mid-20s. (Neil Simon as a young man)
Milt: A middle-aged writer. Often wears a cape and beret. (Sheldon Keller)
Val: The senior writer on the staff. An immigrant from Russia, he still has an accent. Politically aware.
Brian: Irish. Almost 30. A heavy smoker, a heavy drinker and a heavy cougher. A biting and caustic sense of humor.
Kenny: Tortoise-shelled glasses. A natty dresser. The most sophisticated of the writers. (Larry Gelbart)
Carol: Late 20s. Quick wit and strongly defensive being the only female writer on the staff.
Max Prince: Early 30s. He exudes great strength, mostly from anger. He dominates the room. He is quixotic, often monosyllabic….a truck you can’t get out of the way of. (Sid Caesar)
Helen: A very attractive secretary….late 20s.
Ira: 30s. He is all energy with a touch of madness. (Mel Brooks)
LITTLE SHOP OF HORORS – by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman
Director: Susan Atkinson
Choreographer: Stephen Casey
1st Rehearsal: January 6, 2013
Opens: March 18, 2014
Closes: April 13, 2014
AUDREY: Bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like, secret love of Seymour's life. She has poor self-worth and education, but incredibly good looks and a sweet and vulnerable demeanor. Female, 25-35 yrs old Range: G#3 - D5
CRYSTAL, RONNETTE and CHIFFON: African-American street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, these girls are the only ones who have a grip on reality. Female, 20-35 yrs old. Range: Ab3 - F5
MR. MUSHNIK: The seasoned owner of the failing East Side flower shop and Seymour's nosy boss. He is profit-driven, greedy, and manipulative. Male, 55-65 yrs old. Range: G2 - F4
ORIN SCRIVELLO: An egotistical dentist with a passion for leather and sadistic tendencies. Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who is targeted by Seymour. Male, 30-40 yrs old. Range: G2 - G4
SEYMOUR KRELBORN: An insecure, put-upon florist's clerk and eventual hero. He is a genuine, well-meaning man who is taken for granted because of his clumsy ways and poor social skills. Male, 25-35 yrs old. Range: A2 - G4
THE PLANT (AUDREY II): Puppeteer. An anthropomorphic cross between a Venus flytrap and an avocado, the plant has an appetite for human flesh that is appeased by Seymour. Puppeteer doubles as other sizes of the plant.
VOICE OF THE PLANT: An actor/vocalist located offstage. The voice is that of a conniving, street-smart 'villain.' A funky Rhythm and Blues voice is best. Male, 20-50 yrs old. Range: G2 - G4
