NOTE: age ranges listed are for character voice/vocal tone, not the age of the actor.

We are casting for "The Pendant Shakespeare's" production of DOUBLE FALSEHOOD.

ROLES FOR MEN/NON-BINARY MASCULINE:

Julio (young adult (late teens to mid-20s sounding)/any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender)
Julio is Camilla's son, an honest boy who is deeply and madly in love with Leonora. He is trusting, which makes him easy to manipulate by his unscrupulous friends, which drives him to great melancholy, and he loves his momma even though she's hard on him.

Line One: (observing Leonora enter)
See, how her beauty doth enrich the place!
O, add the music of thy charming tongue,
Sweet as the lark that wakens up the morn,
And make me think it paradise indeed.
I was about to seek thee, Leonora,
And chide thy coldness, love.

Line Two: (furious at Henriquez betraying him by pursuing Leonora)
Well; let him slink to court, and hide a coward;
Not all his father’s guards shall shield him there.
Or if he prove too strong for mortal arm,
I will solicit ev’ry saint in heav’n
To lend me vengeance.—I’ll about it straight.—
The wrathful elements shall wage this war;
Furies shall haunt him; vultures gnaw his heart;
And nature pour forth all her stores of plagues,
To join in punishment of trust betray’d.

We especially want to hear some POC and LGBTQIA+ voices!

We always make sure to keep a list of people who are interested in being part of the show, so even if you don’t get cast for this episode, you never know when you might get an email asking you to play another role.

ROLE FOR MEN:

Mac (mid 30s-40s sounding/any ethnicity/Scottish accent/cisgender or transgender(He/Him))
A mysterious, swarthy and rugged man, Mac knows far more about the world around him than he lets on. He is brash, ill-tempered at times, and cynical, and yet also has taken an interest in Alicia's well-being. While we often will only see the rough side of his personality, he is still charismatic, handsome and has a magnetic personality (much to his chagrin). MAJOR, RECURRING ROLE.

LINE 1: Somethin' bothering you, lass? Teachers have to learn the lesson before they can teach it to you. Maybe Genesis Avalon has other things to learn before she can finish teaching you.

LINE 2: (More annoyed) Oh, aye, course it does, it is very dangerous! And very impressive! I've been around a bit longer than you, lassie, everythin’ I do is impressive! (long, suffering sigh) What? Do ye want some sort of guarantee? Och, fine, so bloody clingy.

Deadline for auditions is **JULY 9!**

We especially want to hear some POC and LGBTQIA+ voices!

ROLE FOR MEN (recasting a major recurring role):

HE-B (20s-40s sounding/any ethnicity/British accent/cisgender or transgender (he/him))
An artificial life form who is much more than the sum of his parts. Has access to the entire wealth of the universe’s knowledge via the Reticulum. Current relationship status: it’s complicated. Think C-3PO meets David Tennant/Matt Smith’s Doctors meets Bill Nye. Hovers.

LINE 1: I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about what you said. Our relationship was... much more simple when we first started. I had a clear objective and goal. You were not in an exclusive relationship and I wished to experience one with you. I suppose it was naive of me to assume that we could simply... go back to that.
LINE 2: You are *not* an idiot. That is not only statistically unlikely, but patently false. You have multiple degrees and have been able to build some of the most advanced technology this side of the universe. You are a complex and unique creature, worthy of anyone’s affection, should you desire it.
LINE 3: I am sure the solution will present itself to you. Problem-solving is your forte. (beat) I did truly pull back to respect your feelings. And... Pallas, although it brings me no comfort to admit that. She is... a truly difficult person.

RECURRING ROLE FOR NON-BINARY PERSONS:

MADISON (adult of any age/any ethnicity/any accent/non-binary (they/them))
A caregiver for a variety of clients in various stages of memory care, including Papa Arkell. Stubborn and tough but wants to do the best for anyone in her charge.

LINE 1: Four Haley’s Honey Buns is not lunch, but if you eat these wings I brought all the way from Sarah’s place, we’re gonna do *three* crosswords tomorrow.
LINE 2: Oh, don’t think about it like that, Ms. Arkell. People don’t like to listen to family about their own well-being. Sometimes you need a stranger to tell you what to do.
LINE 3: (little chuckle) Oh, Ms. Arkell. No one’s normal. That’s just an illusion we’re all working towards for some unknown reason, a desire to... fit into some universal groupthink.

Never one to back down, unafraid to call it like she sees it, Cornelia is nobody’s fool and looks out for those around her.

LINE 1: (proudly) I don’t NEED backup. When I worked at Kline’s I carried a derringer in my purse every day.

LINE 2: Emma’s out here saying hello to people, to give them a nice greeting and to have a nice moment in her day. What are you doing to make anything better?

LINE 3: Oh, if it’s Tuesday then yeah they’re playin’ bingo.

A very nice old lady who is not altogether there.

LINE 1: Oh hello. How are you?

LINE 2: Just out for my daily walk! How are you all? How’s your day been?

LINE 3: I’m new to the neighborhood. My name’s Grace.

Kate (20s-40s sounding / Any background / Any accent / Cisgender or Transgender)

Kate is married to Jared and is the more grounded of the two. Usually supportive of his hair-brained schemes, she does have her limits.

LINE 1: Jared, what are you doing? I’m trying to get some work done downstairs but you’re distracting me like crazy repeating yourself over and over

LINE 2: (mischievous/playful) Hold on, let me try something.

LINE 3: (disgusted) I can’t believe you’d take that job. All our friends have probably seen that disgusting ad already.

ROLES FOR MEN/NON-BINARY MASCULINE:

Louis (70s+ sounding/ Any background / Any accent / Cisgender or Transgender)

A man of few words who always disagrees with James while agreeing with Cornelia.

LINE 1: (supporting Cornelia) Yeah, she didn’t mind!

LINE 2: (against James) That’s not true! Why would he want to pretend that?

LINE 3: Yeah, nobody said that. (beat) I think it’s nice Emma says hello.

James (Late 60s-70s sounding / Any background / Any accent / Cisgender or Transgender)

A curmudgeonly old man who fancies himself a bit of a realist. Tough exterior, really just wants a hug.

LINE 1: Why you gotta say anything?

LINE 2: I’m not mad I’m gonna die, I’m mad that nobody wants to think bout it. Everybody’s afraid of dying’ and for what? How long does it take someone to die? Five, ten minutes? I can do anything for ten minutes. Big deal.

LINE 3: Huh. I guess it is at that.

Jared (20s-40s sounding / Any background / N. American accent / Cisgender or Transgender)

Jared is a professional voice actor/tech enthusiast who’s trying out a new way to work smarter, not harder. Unfortunately, his excitement for shiny new toys might have him biting off more than he can chew… Role requires switching between normal, AI, and commercial-read voices.

LINE 1: (really geeking out) I recorded myself reading every word in the dictionary and uploaded it to the cloud with this app called VoxBox. Here, let me show you how it works!

LINE 2: (AI voice) Hello Jared. Your Bluetooth connection is now active. Would you like me to engage autonomous vehicle mode?

LINE 3: (Radio promo) You’re listening to Big Jerry and Friends on 101.7 FM… (Commercial) Nine out of ten dentists recommend our toothpaste… (Political ad) Are you angry about the lack of accountability in Washington?

Hawthorn (late teens/early 20s/any ethnicity/any accent, transgender man)
Hawthorn is the intern in charge of "all the computer stuff" at an archaeological dig site before heading off to major in Computer Sciences at Hallamere Tech in the fall. He's naturally skilled at computers, but in his off time he loves to learn about magic. He's bright, curious, dedicated, and compassionate.

This is a large supporting role -- Hawthorn appears in almost every episode this season, and will be returning in future seasons. We'll need a fast turnaround on the first episode, since this is a last-minute recasting. THIS ROLE IS FOR TRANS MEN ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT AUDITION IF THAT IS NOT YOU.

Line 1: (chuckle) Don't worry about nerding out. We're all nerds here. Follow what you love, right?
Line 2: (nervous joking) Well, we're just going into the depths of a centuries-old ruined building without safety gear so uhhh what could go wrong?
Line 3: Well, I wouldn't say magic itself is my hobby. I mean, I can't do any. I just like learning about it. (beat) But obviously, nothing on your level.
