Riverwalk Theatre Update on COVID Protocols
Effective November 1, 2022, masks are now optional for Riverwalk Theatre volunteers, staff, patrons, contractors and visitors in our building. Thursday night performances will still be sold at half capacity with socially distanced seating, and masks are required for those in attendance. Volunteers are no longer required to be vaccinated in order to participate in RWT activities. The Board of Directors came to this decision based on the most up-to-date CDC guidance and by taking a look at the best interests of the theatre and our theatre family from a health, business, artistic, and societal impact. Due to the intimate nature of our theatre and our stages, as well as the close proximity to actors and crew, we encourage mask wearing as practicable. As always, we encourage you to use your best judgment regarding your health and the health and safety of others. We appreciate your patience and adherence to procedures as we have navigated this journey together.

Famous romance novelist Paul Sheldon is rescued from a deadly car accident by his “number one fan”, Annie Wilkes, and is stuck inside her secluded home. Annie forces Paul to write her a new book as if his life depended on it, which it does.
Cast of Characters:
*All 3 of these roles are open to any race*
PAUL SHELDON - Successful romance novelist who is kidnapped by Annie Wilkes. For most of the story he is weak and fragile, seeing that he barely survived a devastating car wreck, but grabs some courage along the way. Staying alive is his number one objective. Male, 40s-50s.
ANNIE WILKES - Crazed “number one fan” of Paul Sheldon. Manipulative, bossy, psychotic, with some anger management issues sprinkled on top. Frequently jumps from one side of the emotional spectrum to the other in a second. She has her rules about life and the behavior of others, and doesn’t like people going outside those barriers. Female, 40s-50s.
BUSTER - Officer investigating the disappearance of Paul. Grows more suspicious of Annie as the show goes on. Brave and loyal. Male, 30s-60s.
Come prepared to read from the script. Perusal scripts are available at the Riverwalk Theatre Office Tuesday-Friday, 10am-5:30pm or contact us at: RWT@Riverwalktheatre.com

A note from the creative team- we welcome all gender expressions, ethnicities, abilities, and body types at our auditions. Please come as your full authentic self! As we seek to honor the artistic intent of authors Cyndi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein, Lola/Simon (both young and old) will be cast using BIPOC actors, and our Angels will be male-identifying actors in drag.

The Angels: The drag performers who populate The Blue Angel Nightclub. Star dancers that sing well. These are actors that identify as male, in drag. (Male, 20 to 30, Vocal range: Bari-tenor/tenor with pop/rock sound. Up to C5)
Please come prepared to sing a 32 bar cut of a song (1-2 minutes) that shows off your vocal range and acting ability. Given the nature of the score, music with a pop/rock influence is preferred (straight up pop songs are great!). Bring sheet music or a backing track (bluetooth speaker will be provided).
