DISASTER!
By Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick Concept created by Seth Rudetsky and Drew Geraci Additional Material by Drew Geraci

April 15– May 10, 2026

It’s 1979, and a crazy cornucopia of A-listers are lining up for a night of hilarity aboard a floating casino and discotheque! There’s a faded disco star, a sexy singer with her eleven-year-old twins, a disaster expert, a feminist reporter, an older couple with a secret, a pair of young guys looking for ladies, an untrustworthy businessman and a nun – with a gambling addiction! What begins as a night of boogie fever changes to a gleeful panic as they endure wacked out disasters, such as earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos – plus killer rats! Featuring hit songs of the ’70s like “I Will Survive”, “Hawaii Five-O”, “Three Times a Lady”, “I Am Woman”, “When Will I Be Loved” and many more, DISASTER! is Broadway’s side-splitting homage to classic disaster films.

Show Dates – March 6th, 7th, 8th, 13th and 14th
Leading Ladies Characters
Leo Clark: 30’s – late 40’s looking; English – lead male;
Leo is an English Shakespearean actor who is the dominant personality of the acting duo of Clark and Gable. He is the driving force of the action of the play. He is single-minded and strong-willed but very likeable. Leo is the leader and Jack is his reluctant but loyal follower. The actor needs to be able to play a woman as well because Leo spends part of the time pretending to be Max (Maxine) – a woman.
Jack Gable: 20’s – early 40’s looking; English – second lead male; Jack is essentially Leo’s sidekick but he is not without spine. He has a mind of his own and although he defers to Leo, Jack finds ways to get what he wants as well. For a portion of the play, Jack is supposed to be mute so he must have the ability to express physically – no American sign language – Jack has his own version that is in the script. The actor needs to be able to play a woman as well because Jack spends part of the time pretending to be Steve (Stephanie – Maxine’s sister).
Meg Snider: Late 20’s – 30’s; American; niece of Florence – lead female;
vivacious, enormous warmth with a great sense of humor and a fresh unstudied beauty that most women would kill for. She knows there’s a big world outside of York. Meg loves the theatre, especially Shakespeare, and dreams of being in a play. Those dreams keep her going and full of hope, even though she doesn’t realize it. She is stylish but a little more conservative in Act 1, Sc 1 than in later scenes. Meg is very tactile. She’s a hugger and a toucher.
Audrey: 20’s looking; American; Meg’s friend – second lead female; very sweet and good natured, likeably goofy at times, very attractive physically according to the author’s notes, will be required to get around on roller skates for 1 early scene (doesn’t have to be very good at it—just enough so she doesn’t fall and break something); her first scenes are in a short diner waitress outfit from Tasty Bite
Duncan Wooley: Late 40’s – 50’s; American; Meg’s fiancé and the pastor of a local church; a good man deep down…waaay deep down because he is quite self-absorbed most of the time, very set in his ways, a bit scatterbrained, very cheap, and a little greedy, but declares it’s all for good causes. He is kind and helpful to his congregation members and tries to please Meg. However he is determined to expose Maxine and Stephanie as frauds. The character is committed to the belief that his actions are for the good of others, and they are at times, but mostly not.
Florence Snider: 70’s – 80’s looking; American; Meg’s aunt, a wealthy elderly lady who is supposedly dying; feisty and down-to-earth, open-hearted, generous, and ultimately wise. She refuses to be frail. She has caustic and sarcastic interchanges with Doc Myers.
Doc Myers: 50’s – 60’s; American; local country doctor, Florence’s physician, and the Chief Moose of the Shrewsbury Moose Lodge; a crusty, likeable curmudgeon who doesn’t take guff from anybody. He doesn’t like Duncan and has a beef with Florence over stock market losses he blames on her.
Butch Myers: 20’s – 30’s; American; Doc’s son; doubles as Frank, the Moose Lodge member; has a crush on Audrey, has a good heart but is not exactly Einstein. He tries to please his father but starts becoming his own man as the play progresses.
