REECE THANAMNI (F, Southeast Asian descent, any voice part):
âSpotterâ for the Arrow Rock High Cheer Squad. Reece is very well liked in school, and for all the right reasons. Sheâs a peacemaker, and almost everything she does is in service to that goal. When she joined Cheer in her freshman year, it was clear she not only had a talent in gymnastics, but in leading as well. This almost assured her that, in due time, sheâd be the captain. However, on her last year of eligibility, she was overcome by Sunny Toussaint, who had been building her popularity empire in what many consider the exact opposite way. This, along with her immigrant descent and the rampant rumors created by Sunnyâs troupe meant her popularity has taken a downturn. However, you wouldnât notice from how she acts. Despite being a person that has been treated unfairly day after day, Reece tries her best to create a bright environment wherever she goes and make as much people feel comfortable as possible. She believes in the change that starts now.
Song Suggestions:
Sugar Cloud - Ride the Cyclone Kind of Woman - Pippin Never Enough - The Greatest Showman
Auditions due April 26th
GRACIE BECKANDORF (F, Any Race, any voice part):
One of the ones with just too much aspiration to ever want to stick to Arrow Rock. And in Gracieâs case, it's her bittersweet relationship to film. Gracieâs love of filmmaking started very young, and sheâs stuck to the passion ever since. From camcorder home movies, to recording weddings for a quick dollar, to stalking the halls with her phone camera for any sort of scoop, everythingâs a story to Gracie, and it's her destiny to tell it. To some, it's quirky and endearing to have someone ask you mysterious questions about your life while being recorded, to some, itâs annoying to have a camera stuffed in your face. To Gracie, itâs art. Important art. And itâs okay that you donât get it now⌠because you will one day. Other than being the class camera, she doesnât have much Arrow Rock history to her name. She gets along with a good chunk of people, but Gracie doesnât stick close to many groups of people. Sheâs an independent filmmaker, see what I did there? Although her Sophomore Year Crime Doc called âWho Killed Gravy the Squirrelâ, which tagged Tiffany Bricklan as the culprit, basically made a mortal enemy out of Tiffanyâs side of the cheer team. As you may be able to tell, sometimes Gracie gets a little too detached from her subjects, and ends up seeing people as just characters in a film, to be only explored through the lens of film.
Song Suggestions:
What Baking Can Do - Waitress Times are Hard for Dreamers - Amelie Iâm Watching You - The Connector
Auditions due May 17th
FLORENCE LAMB (F, Any Race, any voice part):
A lacrosse player with little restraint or filter. Florenceâs philosophy is âlive life nowâ, and to her that means doing the things you want to do, here and now. It means getting that tattoo today, skipping to go roadtrip to the beach today. She says what she thinks, whether it comes off mean or not, sometimes to a degree that seems unwarranted or unneeded, and she does what she feels. It's given her the reputation of, at best, being a refreshing and exhilarating thrill of a person, and at worst, an unpredictable ball of fire thatâs bound to offend you somehow. Florence lacks meaningful connections in Arrow Rock because of it, no oneâs quite as âpresent-mindedâ as she is.Â
Song Suggestions:
This World Will Remember Us - Bonnie & Clyde Iâm Breaking Down - Falsettos Circus - I Need a Drink
Auditions due April 19th
NATHANIEL KEELY (M, Caucasian, any voice part):
The patriarch of the Keely family and the owner of the local Inn. To many, he is a kind pillar of the Arrow Rock Community. A frequent attender of community events, a generous philanthropist, and a helping hand to anyone in need of his services. But to his family, he is a tyrant. One who demands perfection of the family name by any means necessary. The flip he partakes when out of the public eye in terms of his demeanor, especially when heâs angry, is large⌠and supremely terrifying.
Song Suggestions:Donât Be The Bunny - Urinetown Hellfire - Hunchback of Notre Dame Ruthlessness - Epic the Musical
Auditions due May 3rd
KORMAN JAY (M, African-American, any voice part):
Korman Jay seems like he was plucked out right out of a 90s sitcom. Heâs got every jock stereotype deeply embedded into his psyche. Except the physical violence. While heâs definitely a âbust-your-chopsâ, âItâs just a prank, broâ type of jock, heâs not the âstuff you in a lockerâ type of a jock, if that makes sense. He interacts with everyone as if theyâre his best friend, so itâs hard to tell where his loyalties lie. One thingâs for sure, where Korman goes, so does his best buddy Mantis Shrimp, the two are inseparable. Korman used to be a lot meaner his Freshman year, and seems to have lightened up into the light of the party much more these last few years. Boy knows how to rage.
Song Suggestions:
Cruisinâ for a Bruisinâ - Teen Beach Movie Youâre Welcome - Heathers Steam Train - Songs for a New World
