CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
The Balladeer: 18-40, tenor, Woody Guthrie/Joan Baez type, open to casting male or female and all ethnicities, must have strong acting chops and a storyteller’s presence, ability to play guitar or banjo a plus.
John Wilkes Booth: 25-35, baritone, intense, darkly handsome and charismatic. Requires an exceptional actor.
Charles Guiteau: 35-40, tenor, bright, sunny, completely out-of-his-gourd insane.
Leon Czolgosz: 25-32, bass, brooding, uneducated, blue collar, strong sense of being wronged. Has a slight Eastern European accent.
Giuseppe Zangara: 25-35, tenor, angry, heavily-accented immigrant. Mostly speaks Italian. Under 5’5 is a plus.
Samuel Byck: 35-50, baritone, hysterically irate loser in a Santa suit. Not as much singing for this role.
John Hinckley: 18-25, baritone, depressed college student obsessed with Jodie Foster. Ability to play guitar a plus.
Lee Harvey Oswald: 20-30, tenor, suicidal and lonely, may be doubled with the Balladeer, but if not does not sing much. Preference is for someone who really looks like Oswald.
Lynette ‘Squeaky’ Fromme: 18-25, mezzo, hippie girl with a very sharp and dangerous edge, a follower of Charles Manson.
Sara Jane Moore: 30-45, mezzo, overwhelmed, confused, clumsy housewife.
The Proprietor: 30-55, baritone, runs the shooting gallery. Friendly carnival barker type, but must have vague air of menace. Will also play in the ensemble.
Ensemble: All ages, all genders, all types, ideally around 10-15. Seeking a microcosm of America. Ensemble members will play supporting roles, including Emma Goldman and some of the assassins’ victims, and have several key songs, including “Something Just Broke”, a number which is solely for them.
Ability to play musical instruments is a plus for all actors auditioning.
