Seeking actors available in August of 2024 for a 3 week run of Watch Me at the Players Theatre.
Character Descriptions and Summary:
Max, Claire, and Tony have been under constant surveillance for as long as they remember. They do everything they're asked (explicitly or not) out of fear of some unknown punishment, and they prepare to fight in a war they know nothing about. Enter Sarah: an outsider who questions not only the rules, but the whole system of living the patrons have always known.
Claire: 19, the mom friend. She is the balance between Tony's devout following of rules and Max's anarchist tendencies. She does her best to keep the peace, but sometimes it gets tiring. Think 1950s housewife gone rogue.
Tony: 19, meant to represent heteronormativity in the least offensive way. Sort of oblivious to everything. Tony is loyal to a T, and wants nothing more than to protect his friend and girlfriend. His intentions are pure even when his words are harsh.
Max: 20, pained writer type. Max is gay, but hiding it from the world. She is chafing in the confines of her little box, and wants to rebel but still fears the consequences too much to fully commit. She's also snarky, sassy, and full of wit.
Sarah: 20, mysterious. No one knows much about her backstory, and she's no help. She's full of snark that matches Max's, and incredibly intelligent.
President Rodman: mid 50s to mid 70s. Basically a culmination of every evil ruler in every dystopian novel made in the mid 2000s. Truly believes she is in the right, super power hungry, and willing to do whatever it takes to stay in charge.
