AUDITION NOTICE Stageworks is currently casting A Few Good Men by Aaron Sorkin Directed by Karla Hartley Performances May 1-18, 2014 Rehearsals begin April 7, 2014 We are seeking the following: LT DANIEL A. KAFFEE – Lead Male – 30s - Self absorbed, a bit chaotic, but very talented lawyer who finds himself being challenged and stretched in ways he’s never been. Rarely leaves the stage. Rapidfire intelligence and caustic wit. LT CMDR JOANNE GALLOWAY – Lead Female – 30s - Highly motivated gogetter who still thinks she needs to prove herself as a woman in the military. Knows the truth, but finds it tough when others can’t recognize it. LT SAM WEINBERG – Supporting Male – 30s to 40s - Career focused lawyer who misses his family, but loves what he does – which is playing second fiddle to a much more talented and vocally astute sidekick (Kaffee). Provides a lot of comic relief and dialog gymnastics. LT COL NATHAN JESSEP – Supporting Male – 50s - The essence of Marine: tough, focused, uncompromising, powerful in speech and physical presence, intimidating to everyone, but still able to schmooze when necessary. A truly edgy, scary, but fascinating man. LT JONATHAN JAMES KENDRICK – Supporting Male – 30s - Overthetop dutyfocused Marine who exemplifies all that is wrong with myopic leadership. Uses the Bible as a thumping card when he needs to prove a point. Instigates many confrontations. LT JACK ROSS – Supporting Male – 30s - Prosecuting attorney who solidly knows the law, the Marines, and his counterpart in court. CAPT MATTHEW MARKINSON – Featured Male – 50s - Marine Executive Officer who tries to secretly push the truth to the forefront only to find everything he’s ever been taught being challenged. PFC LOUNDEN DOWNEY – Supporting Male – 20s - Sweet, downhome boynextdoor who probably joined the Marines because it’s the best way to utilize what little brain God gave him. Servant sidekick to the nth degree…will fall on a grenade if ordered to. Naïve and genuine while also being a little “slow”. LANCE COPORAL HAROLD DAWSON – Supporting Male – 20s - Essence of Marine honor with a touch of genuine humanity. Believes to the core in the Corps – its honor and its code – and is willing to state that in court even if it gets him life in prison. But really is a softhearted good guy who wants to balance service, honor and the human condition. A protector and a fighter. PFC WILLIAM SANTIAGO – featured male – 20s - Marine whose inability to carry his load, despite its reality, is the cause of the conflict in the show. CMDR WALTER STONE – featured Male – 40s - Doctor who tries to maintain medical protocol and military prowess at the same time. Gets caught up in a lie and might have the capabilities of fighting it. CAPT. JULIUS ALEXANDER RANDOLPH – featured Male – 50s - Strong but decent Judge of the Court Martial who oversees the trial with a firm fist and short, sparklike manner of speaking. CPL. JEFFREY OWEN HOWARD – featured male – 20s - Goofy and fun Marine who provides a lot of comic relief, but also a lot of truth in what goes on behind the scenes of the Marine training. CAPT ISAAC WHITAKER – featured male – 50s - Kaffee’s JAG boss who assigns him to the case. Appears only at the start of the show but whose presence and command of the situation needs to set the tone for the entire play. Easy going, but still knows the rules, likes to “play along” and jest, but ultimately pretty serious. ENSEMBLE – the play requires a myriad of military people who serve as sentries, guards, officers in the jury, etc…some have lines, others are eye candy…all of whom create a solid visual and character piece for the overall look and feel of the show. Auditions will be Wednesday, February 19 at 6:30pm at the Stageworks Theater. Please prepare a one minute monologue and be prepared to read from the script. These are paid Non AEA positions. Please email auditionsstageworks@gmail to secure an audition appointment.
