Performances: 10/28 - 11/15/26

SEEKING:

Mr. Peel: (25-35) - A newcomer to town and new council member. Considered a protagonist in the show. Curious, determined, and a bit headstrong.

Mayor Superba: (50-60) - The mayor and head of the city council. A warm and welcoming presence with a firm grasp and control of the team. He knows how to play the game. Authoritative, folksy, and self-righteous

Ms. Johnson: (30-40) - The city clerk responsible for maintaining minutes of every detail of every meeting. Cautious, meticulous, and assertive

Mr. Blake: (40s-60s) - A council member who can talk the talk, often motivated by what serves him best. Smooth, outlandish, and calculating

Mr. Hanratty: (mid 30s-50s) - A council member that looks out for what will help the town the most, often trying and failing. Well intentioned, verbose, and passionate

Mr. Breeding: (40s-60s) - A council member closely aligned with Mayor Superba. Opinionated, self-aggrandizing, and dismissive.

Mr. Assalone: (40s-60s) - Mayor Superba’s other major ally on the council. Aggressive, confrontational and a bully

Ms. Innes: (60 ) - The second-longest-serving member of the council. Focuses only on her agenda items.

Ms. Matz: (35-45) - A flighty and distracted member of the council that struggles to complete her actionable items. Unaware, erratic, and in her head

Mr. Oldfield: (65 ) - The longest-serving member of the council with a bit of a temper. He often finds himself rambling over minute details. Testy, long-winded, and constant

Mr. Carp: (40s-60s) - Missing for much of the play, a council member that is seemingly missing. Truthful, well-intentioned, and diligent.
