AUDITION INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS:

  • Auditions are open to the general public.
  • Ages: 18+
  • Actors should prepare a 45-60 second monologue. Monologue does not need to be from this show, but can be. Samples of monologues from the show can be obtained from the Music and Theatre Department office (room 051 in the Ogle Center) after August 22.

  • An accompanist will be provided.
  • Actors are welcome to submit a headshot and resume, but these are not required.
  • Callback auditions will be held Thursday, September 1 if needed.

CAST OF CHARACTERS:

  • Charlie Brown – vocal range of B-flat to F: His main characteristics are either self-defeating stubbornness or admirable determined persistence to try his best against all odds.
  • Lucy Van Pelt – vocal range of G to F: She has the persona of a bossy, crabby, manipulative and selfish girl who thrives on telling everyone something.
  • Snoopy – vocal range of C to A: Snoopy is a more human-like dog. His character is that of a dog who pretends to be a person (or who sometimes forgets he is a dog).
  • Schroeder – vocal range of B-flat to A-flat: He is distinguished by his precocious skill at playing the toy piano, as well as by his love of classical music and the composer Ludwig van Beethoven in particular.
  • Linus Van Pelt – vocal range of B-flat to E: Lucy’s younger brother. Though young, Linus is unusually smart and he acts as the show’s philosopher.
  • Sally Brown – vocal range of B to B-flat: Charlie Brown’s younger sister. Despite being portrayed as innocent and adorable, she is noticeably intelligent for her age and this precociousness contributes to the humor of the series.
  • Chorus of Peanuts
