NOTICE:
This show will be double cast; we will cast two Jamies and two Cathys. Everyone will perform 6 of the 12 shows, and will be paired with both other partners - that is, if cast as Jamie, you will perform opposite one Cathy in 3 performances, and opposite the other Cathy in the other 3 performances, and similarly for Cathys. (We will determine performance schedules later in the process.) Also, contrary to standard settings of the show, we will often have all actors on stage at the same time, even when they are not singing. This means that actors will have to act silently for minutes at a stretch, reacting to the character with the solo. We will be looking for this during auditions. The actors must have stamina and presence. There is no choreography, but the actors must have poise on stage, a good understanding of movement, and be able to hit their marks.
List of characters (ages are not physical age but what can be portrayed)

Catherine - female, 25-30 y/o
Vocal Range: Mezzo/Belter - F3 to D#5
An Irish-Catholic actress from a hard-luck shore town in eastern Virginia.
