Auditions will be held this Friday and Saturday: April 7-8. For more information contact the director, Appallo Molloy at: princessnabu@yahoo.com. Note: This is in the Los Angeles, California area.

Thank you for your time and interest.

Charecter Breakdown:

Sarah Parker: A 19 yr. old aspiring Jewish American Princess who grew up in a trailer park in Boca Raton, Florida. She is the oldest of three. Sarah never understood how she could be poor and Jewish. Sarah thought it was a cruel trick that they live in one of the wealthiest cities in Florida and none of it trickled down to her family. Sarah sees college as a way to transform herself and to forget her white trash roots.

Duke Baldwin: A 19 yr. old trumpet player from Seattle, Washington who goes to college on a music scholarship. Although he grew up in the suburbs, Duke�s parents cut him off financially when he turned 18. His parents that believe that men should work for what they want. Since Duke saw the same scenario played out with his two older brothers, he took his fate with characteristically good humor. He works when he�s not playing and is amazingly adept at making something at of nothing.

Miranda Seals: 19 yr. old military brat from Detroit, Michigan. Miranda is a free spirit with a shoe fetish. Coming from a strict home, Miranda wasn�t allowed to do much so she really enjoys the freedom that college brings. She has a great relationship with her mom but has a strained relationship with her father. He does not understand what he considers her �unorthodox ideals.� Miranda has a great work ethic, which makes her a favorite among professors and employers. She is adaptable and makes friends very easily.

John Boy �J.B.� Jones: A 19yr. old country boy from Orangeburg, South Carolina. J.B. is the third of four children. His father works as a carpenter and his mother works for the phone company. His family doesn�t have much money and he is the first person in his entire family to go to college. J.B. is very John Denverish. He has a subtle southern charm about him.

Steve: A kindly man in his late 40s early 50�s. While working at Merrill Lynch, he lost his temper, cursed out his boss and got fired from his very lucrative job. After months of pounding the pavement, the only job he could get was as the Financial Aid Director at Ransom University. And after 15 years, he�s still there. Steve is the glue that holds the office together. He�s even-tempered and helpful. Steve is very understanding of the students needs because he remembers what it was like to be penniless. He is very tolerant of his staff because they�re the only ones who survived the �the first day of school madness.� All the other help that Steve employed quit after the first week.

Jane: A cantankerous Financial Aid Assistant in her mid 40�s. Generally, Jane does not like to be bothered by anyone. She wants to talk on the phone and watch her soaps. She has a smart mouth. She�s been working in financial aid for ten years and has seen a lot of stuff. Basically, she�s over it. She believes that most of the students are ungrateful and they don�t deserve help. Her biggest pet-peeve are work-study students. She thinks it�s silly to give a job to a student who eventually will leave and make more money over a person who has �real� bills to pay.
Peter: A slacker in his mid to late 30�, from Newark, NJ. Peter came to Ransom University as a temp. Because, he made it through the first two weeks,( he was loaded), they hired him. His position is union, which makes him practically un-fireable. They keep unsuccessfully sending him to rehab and therapy. Peter has no real direction. His goals in life are to pay his bills, get laid, and get loaded. He enjoys how he lives. He understands that in the world there are haves and have-not�s. He�s a have not and that�s okay.

Mrs. Kayhill: The no nonsense by-the-book Housing Director. She is a woman in her late 40�s early 50�s. Ms. Kayhill has been in her position for twenty years. She takes her job very seriously.

Trey: A19yr. old classic party-girl from Los Angeles, CA.
