Inspecting Carol
by Daniel Sullivan and The Seattle Repertory Co.
Samuel French Pub.

Holiday Comedy
8 males, 4 females
Described in Samuel French catalog as... "'A Christmas Carol' meets 'The Government Inspector' meets 'Noises Off' in this hilarious hit from Seattle. A man who asks to audition at a small theatre is mistaken for an informer for the National Endowment for the Arts. Everyone caters to the bewildered wannabe actor and he is given a role in the current production, A Christmas Carol. Everything goes wrong and hilarity is piled upon hilarity."

Cast of Characters - as described in script, (but completely subject to the director's whim!).

• Zorah Bloch - Founding director of The Soapbox Playhouse. Middle aged. Extremely self-concerned.
• Sidney Carlton - 60-ish. A founding member of the Company. Kind but somewhat addled.
• Dorothy Tree Hapgood - His wife. 60-ish. English and unable to loose her accent. A founding member.
• Larry Vauxhall - Middle aged. Tough, intellectually vain Child of the 60's, still looking for a turn-on. A founding member.
• Phil Hewlitt - Middle aged. Small, obsessive, usually plays the ineffectual character in any Soapbox production. A founding member.
• Walter E. Parsons - African-American. 30-ish. Recently taken up acting again after a stint in the military. Good natured, excitable.
• Luther Beatty - A large eleven-year old. He's been playing Tiny Tim two years too long. Extremely friendly.
• Kevin Emery - A nervous man in the impossible position of managing director. Middle aged. Afraid of Zorah.
• Mary Jane McMann - Middle aged. A realist. Long ago realized the the Company hit bottom and now looks on as a bemused observer. A founding member.
• Betty Andrews - Middle aged. An inspector for the National Endowment for the Arts. A forbidding appearance. Bright red hair.
• Bart Frances - A pleasant youth. Dresses in motorcycle jacket and torn jeans.
• Wayne Wallace - 30-ish. In search of a new career in acting. No training, less talent, affable, eager to please. This is very funny script where "little theatre" has a bit of fun with itself.

I hope to see you at the auditions. If you cannot make the auditions, but are interested in the show, please contact me.
