  • VIOLET – Female, 20s-early 30s, mezzo
    A young North Carolina woman whose face was scarred in a childhood accident. She is stubborn and prickly but filled with equal parts hope and obsession that she may heal and be made beautiful.
  • FLICK – Male, 20-early 30s, bari-tenor
    African-American soldier; a dreamer and go-getter. There is something gentle, good about him, not to be interpreted or confused with weakness or lack of authority.
  • MONTY – Male, early-mid 20s, tenor
    A paratrooper and Flick’s friend from basic training. Rough around the edges. Self-consumed, but not necessarily purposefully so. Likes being the center of attention.
  • FATHER – Male, 20s-40s, baritone
    A simple, widowed man who lovingly raises his daughter alone doing the best he can with the little knowledge and resources he has to do so. Stern but friendly, smart but uneducated. Accidentally scars Violet’s face while he is chopping wood.
  • YOUNG VI – Female, to play convincingly 11-15, mezzo
    Not quite as guarded or prickly as her older self, but still tough and stubborn. She has a keen curiosity and the rough edges of being brought up solely by her father.
  • GOSPEL SOLOIST – Female, any age, mezzo
    A member of the volunteer choir that sings for the Preacher’s telecast. Sings for God with passion and power. African-American. Actor doubles as Landlady and Woman Knitting.

  • PREACHER – Male, 30-40 yrs old, bari-tenor
    An impassioned, theatrical man who preaches with all the bravado he can muster. Once had a true healing touch but has lost it in his quest to become a showman. Dismissive and egotistical. Actor doublings include Bus Drive, Rufus, Radio Singer, and Bus Driver 4.
  • ADDITIONAL ROLES – Male/Female – any age
    All types, gender, ages, and ethnicities. Roles include Radio Hall Singer, Billy Dean, Virgil, bus drivers, a waiter, members of the gospel choir, passengers on the bus, etc. ​​

Auditions Announced for GOONEY BIRD GREENE at Beavercreek Community Theatre

bctJan. 7 & 8 at 7pm

Beavercreek Community Theatre
3868 Dayton Xenia Rd, Beavercreek, Ohio 45432

Performances: March 1-10, 2019

Auditioners will be required to come to only one night of auditions, with the possibility of callbacks at a later date in the same week. Please come early to fill out paperwork, and please come prepared with a headshot and resume if you have one and all your conflicts that you have during the run of the show.

Summer has come to a crashing halt in the little town of Watertower. The kids don’t want to be back in school; they are listless and bored. Suddenly, the classroom door bursts open and there, wearing pajamas and cowboy boots, stands red-headed Gooney Bird Greene! “Hi! My name is Gooney Bird Greene—that’s like the color with a silent ‘e’ on the end and I like to be smack in the middle of everything!” The class is never the same again. Gooney Bird speaks with confidence and dresses in outrageous outfits including Capri pants, blue knee socks, high-topped basketball sneakers, and elbow-length black gloves. But most wondrous of all, she casts herself as the hero in the most improbable, outlandish stories: how she arrived from China on a flying carpet, how she got a lovely pair of diamond earrings at the local palace, how she directed a symphony orchestra while driving through the center of town, and how her beloved cat, Catman, was consumed by a cow! Are these stories really true? Of course they are because, as Gooney Bird proudly proclaims, she only tells “absolutely true stories!” In blending funny and memorable characters with colorful details and her distinctive flair for suspense, Gooney Bird awakens the students’ dormant imaginations. They come to realize their lives are as unique as Gooney Bird’s and that they, too, can cast themselves as the heroes in their own true tales of discovery and adventure.
