Cast Information

  • STAGE MANAGER (Stage M) 
    • Female (Can also be male, but some language and mannerisms will need to be adjusted). In charge of rehearsal as well as investigation, she/he takes the job very seriously. Efficient and to-the-point; a bit sarcastic at times.
      • Special requirements: The Stage Manager is in the middle of the dialogue throughout most of the play, and has a very high number of (short) lines. While this character can carry a clipboard, the actor should not be visibly dependent on it.

  • LAMB 
    • Female child (approximately 6-8 years old). Precocious and a bit devious. Special requirements: "Lamb" can be played by an older actress, but the character should be portrayed as a young girl aged approximately 6-8.
  • GABE 
    • Male. Jock-type older high school-er or early college-aged. Reluctant to participate in the production.
  • MARY 
    • Female. Young married, new mother in her mid-20’s or early 30’s. Emotionally reactive; idolizes her infant son.

  • STAR
    • Female. Young woman in her early 20’s with acting ambitions. Craves the spotlight and resents her role outside of it.
  • WISE MAN
    • Male. Assistant Pastor in his late 40’s or older. Expresses his thoughts in lengthy words and weighty theological concepts; likes to "hear himself talk."
      • Special requirements: Wise Man must be able to deliver difficult lines (lots of complex words) fluidly, as if giving a speech.
  • SHEPHERD
    • Male. Choir Director in his 30’s or 40’s. Moody, creative, and occasionally passive aggressive. Special requirements: Shepherd must be able and willing to sing (comically, but still reasonably well).
  • NURSERY DIRECTOR (Nursery D)
    • Adult female, any age.
  • “ACTOR 9”
    • Male. Needs to be able and prepared to play any and all of the following characters: 
      • Jason- Mary’s husband; proud, accommodating new father. 
      • Tommy- Lamb’s opportunistic pre-teen or early teenaged brother.
      • Shawn- Choir member; enthusiastic youth or young man
      • Tim- Star’s boyfriend; an outgoing executive type. 
      • Intern- Pastoral Intern; studious and intense. 
      • Custodian- Church Custodian; opinionated and vocal about it. 
    • *Note:  "Actor 9" can also be divided up among other actors.
