Maine Premier of Ken Davenport's The Awesome '80's Prom!
Actors need to be able to bring strong, comedic characterization to the roles, be able to have fun, be able to improv w/audience, and be spontaneous! Enthusiasm and reliabilty are a must! Also,believably play a high school senior.
There will be an ongoing need for alternates & replacements for all roles as the show continues. Please contact for an interview: newedge@onthenewedge.com

Think “Jake” in 16 Candles. The Heathers, #1 & #2 Whitley’s back up cheerleaders. The Class President, Michael Jay A young Republican. A game show host type. Think Michael J. Fox on Family Ties. The Head Cheerleader, Whitley Whitiker Attractive, sexy, bitchy, and vain. Think “Heathers” DJ, Johnny Hughes Charismatic host who can warm up a crowd. Runs dance contest, etc. Must have high energy and an infectious energy that can keep a party going. The Drama Teacher, Mrs. Lascalzo A leftover hippie who loves everyone. A little clueless. The Drama Queen, Dickie Harrington Flamboyant, fabulous and bitter. Sings “Don’t Rain on My Parade” like Barbara Streisand. Think Ducky in Pretty in Pink mixed with Jack from Will & Grace. A Football Player, Joshua "Beef" Beefarowski Big and intimidating, but not too bright. The Freshman, Molly Parker Member of the Freshman Cheerleading Squad & the yearbook committee. The Head of the Prom Committee, Melissa Ann Martin Perfect. Way too perky. Think Reese Witherspoon in Election. The Mystery Guest A 1980’s celebrity impersonator (i.e. Madonna, MichaelJackson, Prince, Billy Idol) Performs (or lip syncs) one song at the height of the PROM. The Nerd, Louis Fensterspock Introverted, computer geek. Think Anthony Michael Hall in 16 Candles. The Photographer, LLoyd Parker Molly's twin (less cool) brother. The Principal, Mr. Snelgrove A fascist dictator. Think the principal in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The Rebel, Nick Fender Mean, defensive, loud. Think Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club. The Spaz, Kerrie Kowalski Petite. A sweet but hyper nerd. In love with Blake. Surprisingly cute, once she removes the glasses and headgear. The Swedish Exchange Student, Inga Swanson Speaks with a heavy accent.
