Synopsis:
Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for the worst candidate to ever run for office.... A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.
The production is seeking 7 actors to fill the following roles:
PAIGE CALDWELL - female 20s to 40s; a professional publisher. A smart, confidant woman who sees politics as a series of contests to be won.
DAVE RILEY - male 30s/40s; The Chief of Staff to the new Governor. Very smart but - despite years of experience in government, endearingly earnest and naive on the subject of politics.
LOUISE PEAKES - female 30s to 50s; A temp employee hired as the Governor’s executive assistant. Personable, likable, impressively confident AND entirely inept. Without knowing it, she has the air of a politician about her.
NED NEWLEY - male 50s/60s; The new Governor. A person of impressive ability but a complete lack of confidence. A man awaiting permission to enter a room in which he is already standing.
ARTHUR VANCE - male 50s/60s; One of the most experienced and successful political consultants in the country. He’s a showman, but his excitement is 100% genuine and it’s contagious.
RACHEL PARSONS - female 30s; A TV reporter. Straight forward and honest, and inquisitive by nature - she’s seen enough of life - and politics - to be cynical but she’s more apt to make a wry joke.
A. C. PETERSON - male; 30s to 50s. A TV cameraman - a working man who is just fine being the person you didn’t notice was there. He has a low tolerance for idiocy and would rather not interact with anyone. This doesn’t make him unfriendly - just a mystery.
