Audition time and we want to see you there!
Casting Notice: All roles are for actors of Hispanic/Latine heritage for this production.
Characters:
Little H - (25ish - Hispanic/Latine) An aspiring private dick, mourning the death of his father Big H. He is a cynical detective seeking the truth about his father’s death, navigating the mystery in classic rapid-fire 1930’s mobster slang.
Rae Chio - (24ish-Latine/Hispanic) Was Big H’s gal Friday. Now works for Little H. She moved to Los Angeles from Mexico with the dream of becoming a nightclub singer. In love with Little H. In the show, she sings the old Bessie Smith song, “Send Me To The Lectric Chair”.
Ghost - (50ish-Latin/Hispanic) The ghost of Big H, Little H’s father. He was a big man and, in life, a successful private dick. Wears a Sydney Greestreet-style white suit. Either needs to play a saxophone or look like he can play a saxophone.
Claude - (48ish-Latin/Hispanic) Big H’s brother, Little H’s uncle - Engaged to marry Little H’s mother, Gertrude. Very much the scheming Uncle.
Gertrude - (48ish-Latine/Hispanic) Little H’s mother. Big H’s fast-talking, tough-walking, hard-drinking mother who is caught in the power struggle. Engaged to marry Claude whom she’d dated long before marrying Big H.
Paolo Niro - (50is-Latin/Hispanic) A rival private dick. He is a shadowy underworld figure.
Reynaldo Mori/Yorick - (28ish-Latin/Hispanic) A coroner. A Peter Lorrie type if Peter Lorre had a Spanish accent mixed with a bit of Snor Wences. Also voices YORICK, a skull.
