Troupe (Peter Quince, Robin, Tom Snout, Snug, Francis Flute):
These fun character parts sing as a group but have no solos. Peter, Robin, Tom, and Francis have spoken lines.
Lord Clapham:
A posh patron of the theater. He abandons the Troupe as their patron once they cross Brother Jeremiah.
Shylock:
Banned from any profession other than moneylending, but theatre is his true love, and he wants nothing more than to become the Troupe’s patron

Not the Nostradamus, but his niece, Nancy – can see the future, although with varying degrees of accuracy. Her predictions, for better or worse, lead the Troupe to produce their very first musical.
