Story synopsis: "The Lost Letters of a Victorian Lady" is not what you expect.  This wacky romp takes its proper but naïve title character on a mad adventure through England, Holland, and Ireland where she is pursued and aided by a large cast of characters-all played by only two other people.

In "Pizzazz" an American overcomes her boredom by playing psychological role-playing games with an unwilling Irish proctologist. But none of it what it seems. 

Roles wanted to fill: Edith Lampton, author of the lost letters, is a young woman who does not let her brother's mortal wounds, accusations of opium smuggling, or a chase through the Dutch countryside affect her proper Victorian manners.

Mr. Kelly, unknown to Edith, is her real father and an Irish rebel. This performer also doubles as Edith's brother, her maid, and the mysterious Dutchman Kloop. (either gender, any age)

Maverick is the American cowboy who is sworn to protect Edith during her adventures. This performer also doubles as Edith's groundskeeper and her mother. (either gender, any age)

Rooney, in "Pizzaz" mans the office. Theoretically young, but actually could be any age. Onstage for the whole play, always involved in the action, he always has an attitude or an opinion even when not speaking. Rooney has funny lines and bits--he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Rooney radiates lack of enthusiasm and unhelpfulness, until he's drafted into the games.

Other comments: Auditions are cold reads.
Resumes and Headshots nice but not necessary.
