ROLES AVAILABLE:
***The roles of TOM and AMANDA in The Glass Menagerie and AUGUST and CELESTE/ACTRESS in Something Cloudy, Something Clear have already been cast.***
LAURA (The Glass Menagerie) and CLARE (Something Cloudy, Something Clear) 20s-30s. Laura is Tom’s sister and Amanda’s daughter. Painfully shy with a braced leg from a childhood illness, Laura withdraws herself from the outside world and focuses on her old records and collection of glass figurines. Clare is a wealthy young woman (secretly suffering from diabetes) who claims to be the sister of Kip, of whom she is very protective. Will also play Nurse and Caroline in Something Cloudy, Something Clear.
JIM (The Glass Menagerie) and KIP (Something Cloudy, Something Clear), 20s-30s. Jim is a nice, ordinary young man who works with Tom and was the only man Laura ever loved back from high school. Kip is a handsome Canadian draft-dodger and dancer… and the object of August’s infatuation. Will also play Frank and Hazel in Something Cloudy, Something Clear.
SEAMAN (Something Cloudy, Something Clear), 40s-60s. A closeted drunk who always seems to linger around in the shadows and lust over August. Will also play the Doctor, Maurice Fiddler, and Bugsy Brodsky in Something Cloudy, Something Clear, as well as appear as the Portrait of Father in Glass Menagerie.
