Performance Dates: March 13-29, 2020

Synopsis
Earth and Sky is about would-be poet and part-time librarian Sara McKeon, whose lover of ten weeks, David Ames, is found dead one hot August morning in the city of Chicago. It appears that David may have been involved in illicit activities, including kidnapping, rape and murder. Sara begins her own investigation of the crime and is led deeper and deeper through the urban labyrinth into the contemporary underworld. As the detective story moves forward in time, scenes from the love affair take us back to the moment when Sara and David first met. The plots converge, and Sara finds herself face to face with David’s murderer.

(AGES PROVIDED HERE ARE PROVIDED IN THE SCRIPT; MOST ROLES MAY BE CAST OLDER OR YOUNGER)

  • Sara McKeon – late 20s – a would-be poet and part-time librarian. Driven to find the truth about David.
  • David Ames – early 30s – Sara’s lover of ten weeks, who is found dead. Sara thought he was a nice guy, but was he really?
  • Detective Al Kersnowski – mid 30s – one of the detectives assigned to the murder investigation. An earnest crime-fighter. Fond of food. He may be brighter than he appears.
  • Detective H.E. Weber – 40 – the other detective assigned to the murder investigation. Cynical, tired – a curmudgeon.
  • Joyce Lazlo – early 20s – Sara’s co-worker, a librarian. Pleasant. She has a secret.
  • Billy Hart – early 30s – owner/bartender of Billy Hart’s Bar and Grill. He’s single. A good listener.

Synopsis:
YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN
Based on the Comic Strip “Peanuts” by Charles M. Schultz
Book, Music and Lyrics by Clark Gesner
Additional Dialogue by Michael Mayer
Additional Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa

This musical is set in the average day in the life of Charlie Brown. Made up of various little moments picked from all the days of Charlie Brown, from Valentine’s Day to the baseball season, from wild optimism to utter despair, all mixed in with the lives of his friends (both human and non-human) and strung together on the string of a single day, from bright uncertain morning to hopeful starlit evening.

Roles:

  • Charlie Brown (Lead, male) Vocal Range: Baritone
    A young boy lacking self confidence, but making up for it in persistence. Kind and compassionate, he is lead by his friends to discover ‘Happiness’
  • Lucy Van Pelt (Lead, female) Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano
    The older sister of Linus. She is bossy and tough. Also in love with Schroeder.
  • Sally Brown (Supporting, female) Vocal Range: Soprano
    The younger sister of Charlie Brown. She is young and childish, and very impressionable. Has a crush on Linus.
  • Linus Van Pelt (Supporting, male) Vocal Range: Baritone
    Linus is the younger brother of Lucy and Charlie Browns best friend. He constantly carries around his security blanket. Linus is deceptively intellectual.
    *Preferred Tap Dance Experience, but NOT Required*
  • Schroeder (Supporting, male) Vocal Range: Tenor
    Schroeder is very passionate about music. Usually very reserved. Schroeder needs to have a very “show-off” voice.
  • Snoopy (Supporting, male/female) Vocal Range: Tenor
    Snoopy is Charlie Brown’s loyal dog. A very extroverted beagle. This actor will have to be very dynamic in their acting, as Snoopy has many personalities he portrays and is a very melodramatic character himself.

*All characters can be played by actors of any age, 17+*

If you have any questions about the audition, please contact the director at nicholasanthonybrown1@gmail.com or the stage manager Ali Lander at a_lander@outlook.com.
