annual county bee, long-time bee moderator, keeps bee running smoothly, upholds protocol, conveys crucial information to audience, her interest in the bee is unflagging and drives it forward, thinks of this as a complex cerebral sporting event, wants

the audience to understand every twist and turn, in anything, in her life in general she must minimize the importance of this

event to her, embarrassed that her own championship remains such a highlight, a bit concerned when the substitute word pronouncer arrives, knows she must step up her game to make the day a success, actress also plays Olive's Mom, in India,

appears in Olive's imagination to encourage her and tell her she loves her, mezzo; “Vice Principal Douglas Panch:” 40-55, works

in a junior high school, frustrated with his life, fell into education less out of love than a general ability uncoupled to a particular

passion, the drive of the spellers is alien to him, never found anything that important, stuck in his job, endlessly awaiting a promotion that isn't coming, not happy to get the call this morning that he was needed to substitute, but starts the bee eager

to do well to redeem himself for past mistakes and impress hostess Rona Lisa, who impressed him long ago, baritone; “Mitch Mahoney:” 25-35, could be African-American or Island-American, bouncers physique and demeanor, seems an odd choice as

the bee's "comfort counselor" (it's part of his community service assignment), outsider, has the audience perspective, wonders

about the wisdom of putting kids through this at all, has no idea how to comfort but increasingly finds himself wishing he could

find a way to make kids feel better about losing and perhaps place misspelling in wider perspective, actor also plays Dan

Grubenierre, one of Schwartzy's dads, slightly less insane than Carl, but still intent on getting his baby the gold, also plays

Olive's Dad, working late, but appears in Olive's imagination to encourage her and tell her he loves her, tenor.  Note: The

following six roles are young teens played by actors 18+—“Chip Tolentino:” reigning county spelling champ, relatively athletic

and social, expects things to come easily to him, has been going through some weird changes lately though, and things are

slipping out of his control, actors also plays Jesus, who appears to Marcy in a moment of crisis, also plays One of Leaf's

Brothers, who is not very confident of Leaf's abilities, tenor; “William Barfee:” has many health problems and a lot to prove,

loud and combative as a defensive posture, fat kid who becomes a bully to avoid being picked on, parents divorced, dad

remarried to a much younger woman, doesn't expect kindness from anyone but his mom, friendship takes him by surprise,

noticed on the spelling circuit for his remarkable technique (spelling words on the floor with his foot), withdrew from bee last

year because of ill-timed allergic reaction, here for vindication, doesn't expect to come to care about someone else, when he

sees outside his own needs for perhaps the first time it shakes him fundamentally, tenor; “Olive Ostrovsky:” word lover, fairly

quiet life, an only child with often-absent parents, spends much time alone, fills some time reading the dictionary, words bring

her comfort as does the idea of the vastness of the world in the book, during the bee's first half she often peers into the

audience to see if her dad, delayed at work, has made it yet, starts enormously shy, shyly blossoms, actress also plays One of Leaf's Sisters, who is not very confident of Leaf's ability, mezzo; “Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre:” younger than most participants, driven by internal and external pressure but above all by the desire to win to make her two dads (from whom she

takes her combined last name) proud, lisps, a bit uncomfortable in her body, has some tics, still manages to strike strong

presence with her political awareness and keen sense of justice, having drilled words for hours a day she's aware of everything

that passes in this room, actress also plays Leaf's Mom, overprotective, doubtful of her son's abilities to stand up to the competition, mezzo; “Leaf Coneybear:” second alternate, never expected to compete today, home-schooled with many

siblings, everything about this public bee is an adventure, from meeting the other kids to showing off his homemade clothes to

each moment of unexpected attention, may have severe Attention Deficit Disorder but delights in his own wandering focus,

doesn't expect to win or even to spell one word correctly, but finds absolutely everything incredibly amusing, his mom has made

him wear his protective helmet today, actor also plays Carl Schwartz, one of Schwartzy's dads, his heart is set on his little girl winning the bee, no matter what he has to do, tries to sabotage Williams' foot, tenor; “Marcy Park:” Asian-American, ultimate

over-achiever, has never had another option, comes from a family where excellence is expected and so simply produced,

parochial school student, assumes God also expects perfection, sees herself as a mass of problems but keeps them to herself,

has moved often because of parents' work, knows she can beat the local competition, her many talents include piano, dance, martial arts, baton twirling, and/or other special gifts, also plays One of Leaf's Sisters, who is not very confident of Leaf's

abilities, mezzo.  Equity principal auditions held July 26 from 9:30am-1pm & 2pm-5:30pm at AEA Audition Center (165
