Character Descriptions:
The Audition(by Matt Thompson)
George - A man who finds himself backstage under mysterious circumstances. He appears to be an accountant and seems to be the understudy of a man named Edwin, although he can't actually remember attending any rehearsals or being a part of the production. In Private Lives he plays Elyot. In Hamlet he plays Prince Hamlet. In Checkmate he plays Willie (who seems to be based on Winnie's husband in Happy Days). In A Man for All Seasons he plays Sir Thomas Moore.
Meg - The stage manager. A capable worker. When it becomes apparent that George does not know many of his lines, she pretends to be a maid in the production and whispers some to him. In the scene from A Man for all Seasons, she plays the part of Sir Thomas Moore's daughter and during the execution she bids him goodbye as "George".
Sarah - A grand actress. In Private Lives, she plays Amanda. InHamlet, she plays Queen Gertrude. In A Man for all Seasons, she plays Sir Thomas Moore's wife (she also quotes Hamlet in that scene, when trying to convince George to accept the execution and bids him goodbye as "Hamlet).
Ellen - Another actress, but not as grand as Sarah. For some reason, she calls George "Stanley" before the production. InPrivate Lives she plays Sybil. In Checkmate, her character is unnamed, but she appears to be a cross between Winnie (fromHappy Days) and Nell (from Endgame). She remains in this character throughout the A Man for all Seasons scene and bids George goodbye as "Willie".
Henry - A grand actor. In Hamlet, he plays the part of Horatio. According to the script, Henry is also able to play the part of the executioner. If this is the case, he bids George goodbye as "Sir Thomas".
The Executioner - He makes an appearance only in The Man for all Seasons. If it is desired, the part can be played by the same actor as Henry. He bids George goodbye as "Sir Thomas".
The Announcer - A voice over the loudspeaker who announces the cast for the performances and instructs the audience not to use flash photography (a warning which is ignored). When Ellen's character hears the announcer in the Checkmate scene, she comments "Oh listen Willie a voice! Maybe there is a God!"
The Actor's Nightmare (by Christopher Durang) Stage Manager (M/F) Tough as nails. Thinks s/he is in charge. Orders the actors
around like children. Kelley (M/F) Actor who never gets to audition Jules (F) Kind, sweet, air-headed singer. Likable and sweet but just a little dense. M.R. IRVING (M) Pretentious actor who is hiding a secret. Must be able to portray a
large persona. THE-ARTIST-FORMALLY-KNOW-AS-QUESTION-MARK (M/F) A mime. He
communicates through physical sign language. Must be a good with movement. ROBIN (M/F) A stagehand, who works on the production ACTOR #5 (M/F) A very eager actor.
