*****************THIS IS A NON PAYING GIG*****************

The performance is directed by Marc Anthony Glover.

A head shot and resume would be greatly appreciated. Stapled together if possible.

Auditions will consist of cold reading from the script. All characters must have a deep Southern accent.

Please come with a planner to CONFIRM availability on all the dates listed above. While ALL actors may not be called for every rehearsal, we would like to have a clear idea of who can rehearse when.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

This play is one of Tennessee Williams’ most famous and his personal favorite. It tells the story of a wealthy Southern family as they come together to celebrate the patriarch’s, Big Daddy’s, birthday. He and his wife, Big Mama, believe he has just been released from the hospital with a clean bill of health, while the rest of the family is aware that he is dying of cancer. It soon becomes apparent that this secret is not the only one or the only source of tension for the family.

Brick and his wife Maggie are having problems of their own, including competing with Brick’s brother Gooper and his wife and kids for the family estate. In true Tennessee Williams style, this play is set in the deep South, with secrets and family tensions abounding.

CHARACTERS AVAILABLE:

All characters require a deep Southern accent (Mississippi). The roles of the Help require African American actors.

MARGARET: (Maggie the Cat) Brick’s wife. Married “up” into the family. Her husband refuses to make love to her and this has made her edgy, tense and suspicious of his friendship with his friend Skipper.

BRICK: The favorite son. He was an athlete and the pride of his father. His best friend Skipper just committed suicide and throughout the course of the play we learn that they may have been more than friends. Since the suicide Brick has become drunk and hateful, as opposed to just neglectful, of his wife.

BIG DADDY: The family patriarch. Maggie dubs him an old-fashioned “Mississippi redneck.” Brash and vulgar plantation millionaire. He thinks he has beaten even death, but having confronted it head on, he is eager to push his favored son to confront his demons as well.

BIG MAMA: Sincere, earnest, crude and dressed like the nouveau riche. Embarrassingly dedicated to a man who seems to despise her. Considers Brick her “only son.”

MAE: Mean, agitated, “monster of fertility” who schemes with her husband, Gooper, to inherit Big Daddy’s estate. Absolutely dedicated to putting forth the front of perfect familial love and devotion.

GOOPER: Successful corporate lawyer. The eldest, yet least favored, sibling. Resents his parents’ love for Brick, ruthlessly plots to control the estate.

REVEREND TOOKER: Tactless, opportunistic, hypocritical guest at the birthday party. Williams’ noted that his role is to “embody the lie of conventional morality.”

DOCTOR BAUGH: Big Daddy’s physician. Delivers the diagnosis to Big Mama and leaves her with a morphine prescription.

THE CHILDREN: Mae and Gooper’s kids. Maggie refers to them as “no-necked monsters,” and she is correct. They are badly behaved, spoiled children who intermittently interrupt the action. They are however, trained by Mae, to put forth the fakest form of familial devotion.

THE HELP: The plantation servants appear off and on throughout the play. They are not integral to the plot itself, but they serve, especially during the birthday party, on the edges of the stage, as a chorus of voices and frame for the absurd family gathering. Must be African-American actors.
