CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
The Barn Theatre seeks a diverse group of actors and performers including, but not limited to gender identities, body types, ages, abilities, sexual orientation, ethnic and racial backgrounds. All ethnicities welcome; no roles have specific needs. We are open to actors of all gender identities.
SYLVIA VAN KIPNESS: Mid 20’s-40’s, any ethnicity, female - A “lovely and rash romantic”. Feminine, yet strong-willed, Sylvia's attempts at true love leave her frustrated and ever hopeful for a shocking turn of events. BRITISH RP ACCENT.
* This role requires moments of physical intimacy (kissing, intimate touch, moments of romantic chemistry/passion when touch is not needed.)
* This role also requires moments of physical violence (slapping)
BEAU: Mid 20’s-Late 40’s, any ethnicity, male - “Perhaps the best-looking man in Britain” Logical to the point of pessimism. Beau is the type of fellow quite happy with the status quo, no matter what the status quo may be. BRITISH RP ACCENT.
* This role requires moments of physical intimacy (kissing, intimate touch, moments of romantic chemistry/passion.)
MARJORIE: Mid 20’s-40’s, any ethnicity, female - EXTREMELY PREGNANT (8 Months), pragmatic and a tad spicy. Unflappable in every sense of the word. Unless of course, she's in labor. BRITISH RP ACCENT.
* This role requires moments of physical intimacy (kissing, intimate touch, moments of romantic chemistry/passion.)
CLARKE: Mid 20’s-Late 40’s, any ethnicity, male - Distinguished gent with a lover’s spirit. Always aiming to please, Clarke's kind-heartedness may lead others to take him for a fool.
BRITISH RP ACCENT.
* This role requires moments of physical intimacy (kissing, intimate touch, moments of romantic chemistry/passion.)
DIERDRE: 20’s-30’s, any ethnicity, female - An awfully pretty, sometimes wise, nincompoop. Gullible is Diedre's middle name. She's awfully sweet though, if you like that sort of thing. Surprisingly capable of unexpected clarity and insight. BRITISH
ACCENT (RP/WORKING CLASS)
* This role requires moments of physical intimacy (kissing, intimate touch, moments of romantic chemistry/passion.)

RICHARD 30’s-40’s, any ethnicity, male - A “murderous, yet gentle soul.” Born to be half of a soul-mated duo, Richard is hell-bent on finding and keeping his true love (no matter what).
