Auditions for Summer Musical at The Kauffman Center!
BIG FISH
Book by John August
Music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Director: Amy Sander
Music Director: Matt Richardson
Choreographer: Lana Jensen
BIG FISH centers on the charismatic Edward
Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to
its fullest … and then some! Edward's
incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill
everyone around him – most of all, his devoted
wife Sandra. But their son, Will, about to have
a child of his own, is determined to find the
truth behind his father's epic tales and the
man behind the myth as Edward approaches the
final chapter of his life. Overflowing with
heart, humor and spectacular stagecraft, we
look forward to bringing you an extraordinary
new musical direct from Broadway that reminds
us why we love going to the theatre – for an
experience that's richer, funnier and BIGGER
than life itself.

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

his ultimate dream, to become a man like any other.
