Breakdown

A world premiere production, CREEP takes place in 1880’s London. All actors must have a facility with dialects as the show weaves between the upper class and lower class worlds. The score is musically challenging and requires adept singers with an ability to read music in all roles.

Mary – Soprano, reads 19-20 years old. Ingenue, pretty and youthful. She has grown up under sheltered circumstances thanks to her overbearing mother. She longs to break free, fall in love, and live a normal life. Seeking a fearless actress with versatility.

Mother – Mezzo/Belter, plays mid-20’s to late-30’s/early-40’s. A woman who has lived a rough life, but aspires to class and wealth. She tries a little too hard to hide her poverty-stricken past. She’s a control freak and tries to keep her daughter away from the world. Seeking a charismatic actress with a great voice and a dry sense of humor.

Anne – Soprano, reads 15-16 years old. A strong young woman who has never had a break. She lives in poverty and does what she can to take care of her unstable mother. Mary’s best friend, who envies the good fortune that has come her way. Seeking a youthful actress with both vulnerability and strength.

Christian – Tenor, reads early 20’s. A handsome but quirky young piano instructor with a secret. He’s a gay man in a time when revealing your sexual orientation could land you in jail. A charming and polite man who has a well of rage inside him. Seeking a versatile actor with a great voice. Piano skills are a plus, but not a requirement.

Jackson – Tenor, reads early to mid-40’s. A handsome and wealthy doctor. He is smooth and authoritative, but deeply disturbed and weak beneath his slick veneer. Seeking a charismatic leading man who isn’t afraid to show his darker side.

Young Mary – Speaking role, reads 8-9 years old. An innocent girl who undergoes an awful tragedy. This young actress will have to handle some very mature material and should be comfortable performing in a very dark show. May also do ensemble work.

Ensemble – Excellent singers with strong acting chops. The ensemble members will step into multiple roles. Choral skills and music reading skills are critical. This is not a heavy dance show, but we need ensemble members who are comfortable with movement and dance. Seeking a diverse group of interesting types and a variety of ages.
