The Barn Players Theatre

SYNOPSIS:
Kiss of the Spider Woman revamps a harrowing tale of
persecution into a dazzling spectacle that juxtaposes
gritty
realities with liberating fantasies. Cell mates in a Latin
American prison, Valentin is a tough revolutionary
undergoing torture and Molina is an unabashed
homosexual
serving eight years for deviant behavior. Molina shares
his
fantasies about an actress, Aurora (originated on
Broadway
by Chita Rivera) with Valentin. One of her roles is a
Spider
Woman who kills with a kiss.
CAST BREAKDOWN:
We are looking for a multi-racial, high-energy cast of
performers for this Tony Award winning musical.
Aurora / Spider Woman 25 - 50, mezzo soprano: The
central figure of Molina's fantasy world – a "vampy diva",
stunning, dazzling and comforting in all her roles except
for
that of the Spider Woman, who is treacherous and
frightening to Molina. Role requires strong acting, singing
and movement.
Molina 30 - 45, tenor: A homosexual man serving an 8-
year
sentence for deviant behavior, who worked as a window
dresser. Very smart and imaginative with a tremendous
ability to shape language into images. Must be a strong
actor and singer and must move well.
Valentin 25 - 35, high baritone: A man imprisoned for his
'fanatical' political views. Passionate and angry, Valentine
carries a deep hatred for the corruption in the Argentine
government and is not afraid to fight against those who
would oppress the working class. Deeply suspicious, he
trusts no one. Must be a very strong actor and singer
Marta 23 - 30, soprano: Valentines love. Earthy and
beautiful. Appears mostly in dreams, but retains her
earthiness. Must be a strong actor and singer.
Molina's Mother 50 - 65, contralto: Molina's loving
mother.
Careworn, but warm and loving. Years of worrying about
her
son have taken their toll on her appearance and health.
Must be strong actor and singer.
Warden 40 - 55, speaking role: A hard-edged
authoritarion.
Sharp and intelligent, he is not without a certain amount
of
charm which he uses to get the information he seeks.
Enjoys the position he holds. Strong actor needed.
Esteban and Marcos 25 - 45, speaking roles. Prison
Guards. Pretty funny and comedic, but can turn deadly on
a
dime. Must be comfortable with lifting bodies and
dragging
them around.
Gabriel 20 to 30, high baritone. Molina's current
infatuation. A waiter, handsome and straight. He is warm
and appealing, but not interested in Molina in the way
that
he wishes him to be. May double as prisoner.
Prisoners 20 - 45, all voices
An ensemble of 4-8 men who play prisoners that double
as
other characters. Looking for strong singers who can
move
well.
For more information, please contact Eric Magnus,
Artistic
Director of
The Barn Players, at emagnitude@me.com
The Barn Players embraces diversity in all aspects of our
organization. Non-traditional and equal-opportunity
casting is encouraged.
