Seeking:
MARY BENNET – 20’s. Can be any ethnicity. Character is female. Finally coming into her own, she is no longer the plain, boring girl she once was. She has a fire in her now. She is intelligent, curious, and lively, but her family only sees her as a future spinster. She does not suffer fools. She seeks adventure and a full life.

ARTHUR DE BOURGH – 20’s. Any ethnicity. Character is male. A studious, unsociable, only child who has never been around women or large families. He is a loner who prefers books to people. He has recently inherited a large estate and has no idea what to do next.

ELIZABETH DARCY – 20’s. Any ethnicity. Character is female. Married to Mr. Darcy. Confident, charming, and witty. She makes a fun and surprising lady of the house. She is best friends with her sister Jane.

FITZWILLIAM DARCY – 30’s. Any ethnicity. Character is male. A loving, generous, and smart (if slightly stiff) husband. He is quiet and vigilant and thus sees what others often miss. He knows what being lovelorn is like.

JANE BINGLEY – Mid 20s. Any ethnicity. Character is female. Married to Mr. Bingley. She is 7 months pregnant with her first child and is sweet and optimistic as ever. The kindest heart in the house.

CHARLES BINGLEY – mid 20’s. Any ethnicity. Character is male. Gracious, happy, and ever-focused on the love of his life, Jane. A good friend and always ready with a smile.

LYDIA WICKHAM – early 20’s. Any ethnicity. Character is female.. Flirtatious, braggadocios and selfish. Her marriage to Mr. Wickham is a sham but she will not admit this. She also won’t admit that she desperately needs the love of her family.

ANNE DE BOURGH - 20’s. Any ethnicity. Character is female. Only daughter of the late Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Lived in her mother’s very large shadow, never having to ask for anything or speak for herself, her entire life. Judgmental and impatient, just like her mother.

The American Premiere of The Third Man is a gripping theatrical adaptation of the classic noir film, set in post-World War II Vienna. The Third Man follows American writer Holly Martins as he arrives in a city divided by occupying forces to reconnect with his old friend Harry Lime, only to discover Lime has apparently died under mysterious circumstances. As Holly investigates, he is pulled into a shadowy world of deception, black-market dealings, and moral ambiguity. This thriller is a stylish, suspenseful, and cinematic exploration of loyalty and betrayal. This developmental production is directed by Sir Trevor Nunn, the Tony and Olivier Award-winning director of Broadway and West End musicals including Les Misérables, Cats, and Sunset Boulevard.
