THE DIRECTOR:
“Now look here, everyone: I think it’s
a damn shame our leading lady collapsed at
tonight’s performance. She might have done
it weeks ago and saved us a month of misery.”
THE PRODUCER:
“Honey, as a Broadway producer, there’s
something much more important to me than you
getting a star turn...Me turning a profit!”
THE DETECTIVE:
“I can’t believe I’m hearing this! I won’t
believe it! Putting on a musical has got to
be the most fulfilling thing a person could
ever hope to do. You’re all heroes to me.”
THE INGENUE:
“Swell acting, Lieutenant. And not just on a
community theater level. I mean college.”

CELIE (African-American, 20s-early 30s): Drives the story. Vulnerable, spirited, introverted, mischievous, seemingly passive but really not, has a deep, hard soul, believes that she is ugly, has a sense of humor which is sometimes wicked. She is an observer. SHUG (African-American, 30s-40s): A popular singer, we meet her at death’s door. She is loved by both Celie and Mister.
MISTER (African-American, 30s-40s. Also known as ALBERT): Like Celie, a deep well. Handsome, big, masculine, strong presence, dominating, capable of brutal behav-ior but also a victim in his own way. Gets his power for free. Married to Celie, he abuses her. He is in love with Shug. He transforms to a kind man by the end of the story. SOFIA (African-American, 30s): Powerful warrior woman. Physically bigger but beautiful. Comfortable being large, great sense of humor, touching, vulnerable. Married to Harpo, she does not let anyone mistreat her. HARPO (African-American, 20s): Mister’s vulnerable, confused, good-hearted son. Represents the new generation. He marries the independent Sofia. He spends

much time trying to get Sofia to obey him the way Celie obeys his father, but he is unsuccessful, as Sofia is considerably stronger than he is. Harpo eventually establishes a juke-joint in his first house and becomes Squeak’s lover. Later, he and Sofia reconcile.
nETTIE (African-American, 20s): Celie’s younger sister. Attractive, adventuresome, feisty spirit, maternal, more educated and knowledge-able than Celie. She has a powerful bond with Celie. Forced by Mister to leave Celie, she starts a new life in Africa.
SQUEAK (African-American, 20s): Harpo’s lover after Sofia leaves him. Although she is mistreated, she eventually undergoes a trans-formation, demanding to be called by her actual name, Mary Agnes, and starting a new life. She is of mixed ancestry. Attractive, sassy, fiery, strong-willed, unafraid to take anybody on, has chutzpah and a caring heart.
CHORUS: Males and females 20s-50s, African-American, to play various roles includ-ing a trio known as Church Ladies, busybody types who are featured throughout the show. And CHILD SInGERS, (One African-American male 9 – 12 years old and three African-American females 9 – 12 years old.)

RUGRATS, Nickelodeon’s
classic hit animated
series about life from a
baby’s point of view.
The Rugrats are Tommy,
our one-year-old hero,
and his friends, Chuckie, Phil & Lil and his cousin Angelica.
Whenever adults are around, the Rugrats act like real babies,
but when they’re alone they drop the façade and talk to each other
with the vocabulary of five-year olds. As
Tommy and his pals wobble through life,
supported by legs not yet used to walking,
they show us the world as a baby views
and understands it. The Rugrats’ world is
one that exists below our knees; here
mundane things and
events turn into
grand, comic
adventures.
