Elephant Run District will be holding auditions for the new play Rabbit Island by Chris Harcum (www.chrisharcum.com) to be produced in the 2012 New York Frigid Festival at Under St. Marks and directed by Aimee Todoroff (www.aimeetodoroff.com).

Auditions will be by appointment only on Oct. 9th.

Play Description:
“Alex zig-zags irregular relationships with an erratic therapist, his off-again, on-again girlfriend, an untamed burlesque dancer and The Cleanse. But what more will it take for this verbose Canadian Mime to become a real New Yorker? When life sucks as bad as your mental health, go to Rabbit Island!”

Breakdowns-
Alex: late 20′s-mid 30′s, male- a Canadian Mime searching for meaning, overly nice, passive and eager to please. Actor must have strong physical skills (mime experience helpful but not required). This is a speaking part. Actor strips to underwear. Actor must be willing to delve into scatological subject matter with humor and heart.

Karen: late 20′s-mid 30′s, female- Alex’s off again/on again girlfriend, intelligent and independent but struggling with her own issues of disappointment and self-loathing. Actress must also be able to bring warmth and empathy to scatological situations.

Bob: forties, male- Alex’s unconventional therapist, off beat with questionable motives, Bob likes to play power games with his clients and always seems to have something up his sleeve.

Barbara: mid 20′s-early 30′s, female- a manic commercial actress and part time burlesque dancer and roller derby girl, she is impulsive, damaged and needs to challenge the people around her. Actress will not need to perform burlesque.

The Assistant: Can be male or female, any age, The Assistant creates the world of the play by manipulating the set & other actors. This is a non-speaking but vital role with a lot of stage time. He/She will dictate the pace and tone of the entire production- Magic, Burlesque, Clowning or similar skill helpful but not required.

Rehearsals will be evenings and weekends, approx. 70 hours mid January to late February for 5 performances in the New York Frigid Festival, Feb. 22- Mar. 4 (www.frigidnewyork.info).

Casting Directors’ notes: “THIS SHOW WAS CREATED FOR, AND WE ARE SEEKING, A MULTICULTURAL COMPANY. IN SOME INSTANCES ROLES WERE CREATED FOR ACTORS OF A SPECIFIC ETHNICITY. IN THESE CASES IT IS NOTED IN THE CHARACTER DESCRIPTION.

“Please note that, as with the original production, some nudity will be a part of these performances. However, nudity is voluntary and not a requirement for all cast members.

“The TRIBE should be composed of unique, high energy young singers with great rock/pop voices who march to their own drummer. They should represent as many different physical types as possible and sing like mad. This may be stating the obvious but we are particularly interested in performers with long, wild or freaky hair!”

Tolerant and open; he loves everyone in the Tribe, and provides them with an emotional center. Hung up on Sheila. Role for an actor with great musical, comic and dramatic skills. And a GREAT voice. Rock tenor to F#.

Woof:
Man, 20s. The more youthful-looking, the better. Sexy, good-looking, masculine, but with an androgynous quality. A free-love nature-freak granola boy. Very much in his own world; a bit of a space cadet. Baritone/tenor to G.

Hud:
African American man, 20s. Has an energetic personality. Both intellectual and street-hip. Scans the “New York Times” and the “East Village Other”. At times, he is like a wise overseer. Baritone/tenor to F#.

Rebecca – Equity Principal Auditions
Broadway / Production Contract Currently $1,653/week minimum.
1st reh: 2/6/12. 1st preview: 3/27/12. Opens 4/22/12.

Based on the world-famous novel by Daphne Du Maurier. Musical has had several
successful productions throughout Europe. Story is set in 1926.

Seeking (all roles are available):
Note: All principals are English.

Maxim de Winter:English, late 30s – mid 40s. Upper-class, dashing, cultured.
Owner of Manderley. Has recently lost his beautiful, accomplished wife Rebecca
in what the world believes was a tragic drowning. In fact, however, he killed
her himself. He is haunted by her and by his crime, and remains so even after he
marries the innocent young girl he meets in Monte Carlo. Expresses his love to
her as if she were a child or doesn’t pay attention; lost in his own morose
thoughts. Range: Low Bb (9th below middle C) up to very strong Ab above the
staff. Dramatic tenor, with a not-too-legit sound.

Jack Favell:English, late 30s – mid 40s. Working-class with pretensions.
Rebecca’s cousin. Swarthy good looks. Lacking integrity and given to arrogant
and egotistical behavior, he drinks to excess. Was Rebecca’s lover while she was
married to Maxim and tried to blackmail him. Range: C up to F. Character
baritenor.

Frank Crawley:English, mid 40s – early 50s. Middle-class. Pleasant-looking.
Maxim’s kind, loyal overseer at Manderley. Befriends the second Mrs. de Winter
almost immediately. Range: C up to E, w/optional high G#. Warm but powerful
baritone.

Ben:English, 50s. Lower-class, Cockney. Strange-looking but harmless; somewhat
mentally challenged. Was witness to Rebecca’s wanton way of life, and to the
events of the evening of her drowning. Paranoid, and frightened that he will be
punished and locked away. Range: C# up to E. Character tenor.

Mrs. de Winter (“I”):English, early – mid 20s. Lower middle-class. Shy,
self-conscious but very appealing. Begins as a paid companion to a wealthy
American woman. In Monte Carlo, she meets and marries Maxim. At first, she is
gauche and insecure; she cannot understand Maxim’s sudden shifts in mood. It is
not until they are faced with the potential reality of his conviction for his
crime that she becomes a strong, mature woman – confident in the love she has
with him. We never learn the heroine’s name. She is referred to through out the
piece as “I”. Range: Low F below the staff up to third-space E. Clear, clean,
seamless sound, not too belty. Starts sweet and mixy, then gains vocal maturity
throughout the show, with vocal power at the top as well.

Mrs. Danvers:English, late 40s – early 50s. The sinister, imposing housekeeper
at Manderley. She was obsessively devoted to Rebecca, and remains so even after
her death. Despises Maxim’s young wife for taking her mistress’s place. Vengeful
and spiteful. The power of her presence is such that the slightest glance could
make one’s blood run cold. Range: Low F up to belted F# (top line of staff).

Beatrice:English, mid 40s – mid 50s. Upper-class. Maxim’s sister. One might call
her handsome. On the surface, she seems a bit blunt, but she is friendly,
outgoing and forthright. Part of the English manor set, a lover of horses and
sports. Range: Bb below middle C to show/pop/belted D. Warm, contemporary
Broadway belt.
