Fill out your audition form ahead of time: The Minutes Audition Form https://forms.gle/js7uxURZc3CxBr1H8 Character Descriptions for The Minutes Please Note: Actors of any race or ethnicity are welcome in all roles. An actor of color is preferred for the role of Mr. Blake. Gender-blind casting will be utilized for all roles. Ages in the character descriptions are rough ideas as opposed to requirements. They also reflect the age of the character, not the required age of the actor. Mr. Peel (25-35) - The newest council member and a newcomer to town. As close to a protagonist as there is in the show. Curious, determined, and a bit headstrong. Mayor Superba (50-60) - The mayor and head of the city council. A warm and welcoming presence with a firm grasp and control of the team. He knows how to play the game. Authoritative, folksy, and self-righteous Ms. Johnson (30-40) - The city clerk responsible for maintaining minutes of every detail of every meeting. Cautious, meticulous, and assertive Mr. Blake (40s-60s) - A council member who can talk the talk, often motivated by what serves him best. Smooth, outlandish, and calculating Mr. Hanratty (mid 30s-50s)- A council member that looks out for what will help the town the most, often trying and failing. Well intentioned, verbose, and passionate Mr. Breeding (40s-60s) A council member closely aligned with Mayor Superba. Opinionated, self-aggrandizing, and dismissive Mr. Assalone (40s-60s)- Mayor Superba’s other major ally on the council. Aggressive, confrontational and a bully Ms. Innes (60+) - The second-longest-serving member of the council. Focuses only on her agenda items. Ms. Matz (35-45)- A flight and distracted member of the council that struggles to complete her actionable items. Unaware, erratic, and in her head Mr. Oldfield (65+) - The longest-serving member of the council with a bit of a temper. He often finds himself rambling over minute details. Testy, long-winded, and constant Mr. Carp (40s-60s) - Missing for much of the play, a council member that is seemingly missing. Truthful, well-intentioned, and diligent.
