Stage and Steel Productions is a local Community Theater company that strives to create unique productions combining theatre, stage combat, audience participation and technology...and occasionally a feast. We accept auditionees from all walks of life and any level of experience. Roles are defined as Fighting or Non-Fighting. Actors accepting parts in a Fighting Role will need to learn how to safely use any of the following: a one handed broadsword, two handed broadsword, hand-to-hand combat, staff, dagger, shield, and potentially others. Don't worry, training is provided. When it comes to combat roles, choreography will be designed based on the actors skill. We will never ask an actor to do something that they do not feel comfortable doing or is unsafe. That being said, if a role requires a lot of combat or specific combat or weapon use then an actors skill level will be taken in account at auditions for the fairness to the actor and the safety of all.
Cast of Characters:
Commander Tourvell (F/M) 2 Fights: Leader of the Time Agents. Takes on the role of a Knight
so that they can have the status to infiltrate the Medieval Court. Confident, proper, and completely
oblivious to the fact that they are speaking in Shakespearean English.
IdMona (F/M) Non-Combat: Techy, Science Minded, Highly Educated, Keeper of the Timeline Agent.
Consults a computerized device to evaluate changes to the timeline and predict if the time stream
has corrected itself. Takes on the role of the Knights/Commanders personal soothsayer. Incorrectly
programed for language skills for 1960 instead of 1260 making him one bodacious cool cat.
Queen Isabella (F) 1 Fight:Current ruler of the land. Strong, confident, and a good leader.
But dying due to a heart condition and is eager to name an heir to her crown if only one of her
two children would earn it.
Prince Christian (M) 4 Fights: Naive and lazy, but learning that his royal blood doesn’t
automatically grant him all the accolades that he feels he deserves. It takes the death of his
mother to finally make him stand up and work hard to earn the respect of his peers.
Princess Cristina (F) Non-Combat: Nice, supportive, lawful, and in love for the first time.
She is supportive of her brother winning the crown but knows her mother's health is bad
and will wed to secure the crown if he fails to win the tournament - yet again.
Lord Beam (M) 3 Fights:Brother to the late King, a drunkard brought on by the shame he
feels for not obtaining the crown so long ago. He doesn’t care anymore about honor nor
self-respect and fulfills the duties of his Knighthood with the presence of his body
but not the presence of his mind. Eventually he sacrifices himself and in doing so finds
his long lost respect.
Lord Camilla (F) 5 Fights: The Villain. Intelligent and lusts for the power of the Crown but
knows that she is not in line for it, Will scheme and plot to get power. Rival to Lord Holmes.
Lord Holmes (M) 4 Fights:The Investigator. The advisor to the Queen and her close personal
friend. Lawful person who will immediately begin sleuthing out anything that he deems wrong or
out of place. Cautious and doesn’t easily trust newcomers. His flaw is that he is overwhelmingly
in love with the Princess but she doesn’t return his affections. Rival to Lord Camilla.
The current Royal Champion.
Lord Young (M) 4 Fights: A newcomer to the court, a young Knight who has come to enter
the Crown Tournament and make his mark on the World. The Princess seems very interested in this
young Knight and a romance begins.
