CHARACTERS
(In order of lines)
George: F, 25
(64 lines)
George is fed up with everything before it even happens. She takes her job very seriously and does not go out of her way to be friendly.
Voice notes: I imagine George’s voice to be deep, and not bubbly at all.
Audition:
GEORGE
(To Theo)
We already told you no more hanging around crime scenes. You’re going to get hurt.
---
GEORGE
Parsnip soup is an amazing dinner,
it gives you fuel-
DORCAS
And...?
GEORGE
That’s it.
---
GEORGE
Theodore. This is your final
warning to stay away from crime
scenes. Today you were directly
responsible for a theif getting
away.

GEORGE
(telling joke)
A potluck? With these idiots? What would they even talk about- how similar wrought iron and cast iron are? (laughs)
THEO: M, 17
(41 lines)
Theo is an optimist! He is a bored shepherd, always looking for an adventure- usually the adventure hangs around the Redcapes, so he is prone to follow them around, much to their annoyance. He may be physically weak, but he’s got one heck of a moral compass.
Voice notes: I don’t have too strong of a voice in my head of Theo. Go wild!
Audition:
THEO
He’s still in there, but don’t
worry, he won’t be escaping
anytime soon.

THEO
Uh hey, unrelated to the robbery,
but have any of you see a thief-
looking guy, kinda tall, likes to
steal things?

THEO
How am I supposed to stay away
from crime scenes? They’re the
only break in my monotonous life.
What do you want me to do? Watch
sheep for the rest of my life,
slowly loosing all joy until I die
a shriveled, bitter old man?
Malcolm: M, 30
(11 lines)
Malcolm is George and Dorcas’ superior, they report to him. He is easily exasperated and does not have a strong sense of humor.
Voice notes: Deadpan delivery on everything. Malcolm has seen it all.
Audition:
MALCOLM
Okay, your feedback is important
to me. The real reason I called
you in today is because of your
“like-ability” ranking. This is
your rating.

MALCOLM
Come on, it’s not so bad, Pep
training is only 12 hours... every
day for the next month. Good luck.

Peter: M, 60
(9 lines)
Peter owns the local pie shop- he is huge, mostly silent, and has an emotional support rat named Harold. His shop is the victim of a robbery.

Voice notes: I imagine Peter with a deep voice and heavy (Russian?) accent, but I am flexible, so give it a go!.

PETER
Wow. So weird, that thief must
have put this here. Weird.

No, for real. Normally it’s not

rats before.
