Based on the beloved holiday film, this hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy follows Buddy the Elf in his quest to find his true identity.

​A title known the world over, Elf The Musical JR. is a must-produce holiday musical that can easily become an annual tradition for any theatre. Based on the cherished New Line Cinema hit, Elf JR. features songs by Tony Award-nominees, Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin, with a book by Tony Award-winners, Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin.

​Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

This modern-day holiday classic is sure to make every young performer embrace his or her "inner elf" with plenty of large ensemble numbers featuring elves and (New Yorkers) of every type.

William Shakespeare's tragedy JULIUS CAESAR is a gripping political thriller that portrays the conspiracy against the Roman dictator, his assassination, and the chaotic civil war that followed. First performed in 1599, the play examines the fragile balance of power, the dangers of political ambition, and the psychological burden of betrayal, This version will pay homage to the stylistic features of Film Directors Akira Kurosawa and Quentin Tarantino. Many sources available online.

Tartuffe - Orgon, a wealthy man, becomes blindly and dangerously devoted to Tartuffe, a hypocritical religious fraud who manipulates piety to control the household and seize its fortune. His family and friends warn him as they navigate the humorous and poignant clash between virtue and vice. First performed in 1664, this razor-sharp satire skewers hypocrisy, blind faith, and social pretension, while remaining hilarious and surprisingly modern.

Roles:

Orgon (male presenting, 40s/50s): a prosperous, upper-middle-class to upper class head of a household. He adores his second wife, Elmire, and his children from his first marriage, Mariane and Damis. However, he’s fallen for Tartuffe’s trickery, devoutly believing in his spiritual leadership and placing all his trust in him. Must combine power and authority with an unshakeable faith. His conviction creates some of the play's biggest comic moments, but his emotional journey must remain truthful. His abiding love for Elmire and his family makes him sympathetic and allows him to redeem

himself.

Tartuffe (male presenting, 40s+): a parasitic con artist who excels at manufacturing displays of piety which convince Orgon, if not his family, of his authenticity. Clearly, he remains a man of appetites, driven by greed, hunger and physical desire. His longing for Elmire reveals his true nature and eventually proves to be his undoing. Tartuffe has the DNA of commedia dell’arte trickster archetypes in his character, but this role should be approached with sharpness and acuity. He is a man with considerable intellectual skills and very typical human weaknesses.

Elmire (female presenting, late 20s-early 30s+): serves as one of the two moral anchors of the play; she has agency, wit, clarity and deep human intelligence. More than anyone else, she understands how to get through to Orgon, and develops a strategy to unmask Tartuffe’s true nature. In staging a scene that reveals his hypocrisy, she engineers his ultimate downfall and finally awakens her husband to the truth of his situation. She ably navigates a household in which she has few natural allies as Orgon’s second wife. She has the charisma, intelligence, and emotional maturity to command a room without ever seeming to. The role requires a clever, appealing comedienne able to win people over.

Dorine (female presenting, 20s/30s): the other moral anchor of the play, and one of Elmire’s few allies in the household. She possesses an unerring eye for the truth and the courage to say it. Her boldness and honesty are what make her truly funny. She is unafraid to speak truth to power; her relatively low social standing enables her to stay grounded in reality. She is more than simply comic relief. Instead, her wit and humor serve to puncture the various illusions entertained by Orgon and members of his family, raising the dramatic stakes rather than relieving them.

Damis (male presenting, 20s): Orgon's hot-headed son. Honest, brave, and incapable of concealing what he thinks. His impatience often undermines his otherwise sound judgment.

Mariane (female presenting, early 20s): Orgon's daughter. Thoughtful, kind, and deeply in love with Valère. Caught between filial duty and her own desires, she must find the courage to speak for herself.

Valère (male presenting, 20s): Mariane's devoted suitor. Passionate, romantic, and occasionally impulsive. Their love story provides much of the play's emotional warmth.

Cléante: (any gender, 30s/40s) Elmire's older sibling. Thoughtful, perceptive, and endlessly patient. Serves as one of the household's clearest voices of reason and moderation.

Madame Pernelle (female presenting, 60s+): a proud and stubborn lady of significant social standing, she commands the room anytime she is in it. Sharp-tongued, imperious, and utterly convinced of her own wisdom. Dame Maggie Smith energy.

Flipote (female presenting, 20s+): Madame Pernelle’s silent maid, she constantly endures her abuse.

Monsieur Loyal (male presenting 20-30s+): A deceitful bailiff who attempts to evict the family.

Police Officer (male presenting 20-30s+): The royal officer who arrests Tartuffe on the King's orders.

https://sytaz.org/auditions

Next to Normal, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness.

Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next to Normal was also chosen as “one of the year’s ten best shows” by critics around the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and The New York Times.

Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart.

This deeply moving piece of theatre provides a wonderful opportunity for performers to explore dramatic material and showcase vocal talents with an energetic pop/rock score. Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life and is ideal for community theatres, as well as colleges and regional theatre companies.

Percy Jackson’s life changes forever when he learns that he is a demigod—the son of a Greek god.

When Zeus’s powerful lightning bolt goes missing and Percy is accused of stealing it, he must embark on a dangerous quest to recover the weapon, clear his name, and stop a war from erupting on Mount Olympus.

Along the way, Percy faces countless challenges, from battling legendary monsters to journeying into the Underworld itself. Guided by a mysterious prophecy from the Oracle, he must uncover the truth behind a foretold betrayal by someone he trusts while also confronting difficult feelings about the father who has been absent from his life.

Based on Rick Riordan’s bestselling novel The Lightning Thief, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical brings this beloved story to the stage with an electrifying original rock score. Packed with excitement, humor, and heroic adventure, this mythical journey has been praised as an experience truly “worthy of the gods.”

HOLES, Adapted for the stage by Louis Sachar from his National Book Award winning novel. Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys’ detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys “build character” by spending all day, every day, digging holes: five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn’t take long for Stanley to realize there’s more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment–and redemption.

Character Descriptions

Kay Mostyn is a beautiful, wealthy, and entitled woman with a manner of one born to command. She is married to Simon, who was engaged to her good friend Jacqueline de Severac, and tragically becomes the victim of the murder. British Accent

Simon Mostyn, a personable young man, is Kay’s husband, a charming Englishman with a secretive side. While protective of Kay, his true motives may come into question as the plot unfolds. Notably, he was previously engaged to Jacqueline. British Accent

Jacqueline de Severac and Kay forged a strong bond while attending a posh school in Paris, until Jackie’s family financial woes forced her to leave school. Later, Jackie asked Kay to help her fiancé, Simon, find a job, but their plans took an unexpected turn when Simon and Kay fell in love. Feeling betrayed, Jackie maintains a facade of cool composure, yet beneath her demeanor lies a determination and passion as she relentlessly pursues the newlyweds. Her jealousy turns bitter, leading her to follow them on their honeymoon and even threatening Kay’s life. British Accent

Canon Pennefather, an imposing and middle-aged clergyman, serves as Kay’s guardian and was her father’s best friend. He was in charge of her finances until her marriage, after which Kay became “free” of his oversight. Throughout the play, he takes on the role of the detective, listening, observing, and offering advice, often unsolicited, to everyone onboard as he investigates the murder and uncovers the truth. British Accent

Helen FFoliot-FFoulkes is a narcissistic, wealthy, and snobbish elitist who exudes an air of entitlement. She treats her great-niece, Christina, like a servant and consistently makes every situation about herself. British Accent

Christina Grant, Miss FFoliot-FFoulkes’s great-niece and companion, is a sweet and sensible young woman with endless patience. Despite her demanding aunt’s expectations of utter obedience, Christina maintains an even-tempered disposition that sometimes appears almost too good to be true. British Accent

William Smith, a charismatic socialist with a disdain for the upper class, joins the luxury cruise despite his lack of visible means of support. His unkempt appearance belies his refined voice, hinting at his hidden background. Quick to criticize wealth and privilege, Smith’s outspoken nature contrasts with his protective instincts. Smitten with Christina, he becomes fiercely protective of her, showcasing a softer side beneath his outspoken exterior. British Accent

Louise, the French maid, possesses a deceptive charm and cunning demeanor. Sly and conniving, she navigates her role with an air of secrecy, always aware of the truths hidden beneath the surface. With her keen perception, Louise sees more than meets the eye, often using her knowledge to her advantage. Despite her alluring appearance, she is not above exploiting opportunities when they arise, adding an element of intrigue to her character. French Accent

Dr. Bessner is a mysterious doctor of unknown origin, claiming to hail from a small country in Europe and speaking some German. Specializing in psychology and mental disorders, he becomes involved when his services are required aboard the cruise. As the story unfolds, it is revealed that Dr. Bessner harbors a deep-seated grudge against Kay’s father, stemming from the tragic death of his wife and son in a war caused by the munitions manufactured by Kay’s father. His enigmatic background and hidden vendetta add layers of intrigue to his character as the plot progresses. German Accent

The Beadsellers are relentless and pesky peddlers aboard the boat, specializing in selling cheap trinkets and souvenirs to the passengers. Originating from Arabic backgrounds, they are skilled sellers of beads, postcards, and other knick-knacks. Their persistence knows no bounds as they employ competitive sales tactics to capture the attention of potential buyers. With their unwavering determination, they add both annoyance and authenticity to the cruise experience, embodying the vibrant spirit of local marketplaces. Arabic Accent

The Steward, a Nubian by origin, serves as the ship’s greeter and primary server of passengers. Always wearing a smile, he exudes amiability and charm, though he only understands about a quarter of what the passengers say to him. Despite this language barrier, he diligently attends to the needs of the guests, ensuring their comfort and satisfaction throughout the voyage. Tasked with appeasing the desires of the wealthy and sometimes whiny clientele, he navigates his role with patience and diplomacy, all while maintaining his friendly demeanor. Heavily accented

McNaught serves as the ship’s captain.
