A languid tropical island monarchal society decides to take on the social, financial and political ways of a Victorian Great Britain when the Princess Zara returns from English schooling with the Flowers of Progress. King Paramount is constantly being threatened with being executed by the public exploder, Tarara, if he doesn’t do what he’s told to do by the judges, Scaphio and Phantis, (who are really running the country) and they are not happy with the changes the king wants to make.
His younger daughters’ governess, Lady Sophy, has brought the twins, Nekaya and Kalyba, up to be very proper English girls, but then here come Flowers of Progress Mr. Goldbury and Lord Dramaleigh.
Then there’s Captain Fitzgerald with his eye on Princess Zara! There are seven principal and four featured adult male roles; 4 principal and 3 featured adult female roles, plus ensemble to play islanders, ages 11 and up. All ethnicities and body types are welcome.
There is no pay. Please call 805-491-6103 or e-mail rebecca@vcgsrc.org for an appointment or more information.
