Looking for actors in their late 20's to 30's. This is an
excellent opportunity for theatre majors, graduate students and those looking to
build their theatrical resume. The goal of this ensemble is to build community
within an established theatre environment. There will be a two and half week
rehearsal process prior to each production. The rehearsal schedule will be left
to the discretion of the "ensemble members" and director. Each non-cast male and
female will be the production stage manager for the opposite production.
All roles are paid a stipend
EASTER by Will Scheffer:
Matthew Ransom-
30s, married to Wilma. Matt has a bit of a
violent streak to him, which Wilma on occasion will bring out in her.
He was a football player in high school.
He tries to hold everything together but longs for the life they had
before their newborn died seven years ago.
Wilma Ransom- 30s,
married to Matt. Wilma was a
cheerleader in high school who seemed to “float,” according to her husband
Matthew. Since the death of her
newborn child seven years go, she has seemingly lost touch with reality.
She has begun setting fire to churches.
Zaddock Pratt- 40s,
owner of general store and bar.
Claims to have a steel plate in his head due to an old war injury.
He later reveals to Matt that this is not true, but that he hears woke up
one day having someone else dreams.
His revelations or outburts seem almost prophetic
Herman Warm- 20s,
plumber. Herman helps bring Wilma
the sign that she’s been looking for.
In turn, Wilma accepts Herman into her heart.
She even washes his feet with her hair, as though he is her savior.
At times, his words overlap with Wilma’s giving the impression that they
are one. Wilma believes his hands
are “beautiful.” He tells her that
he exists for her. He also plays
violin.
