Roles available:
FRANCIS: (Second tenor-Lyric Baritone) The leader and caretaker of the group. He has the most confidence. He takes care of his fellow PLAIDS and makes sure that everyone knows where they’re supposed to be and what is supposed to happen next. SPARKY: (Baritone) The clown — the imp — the scamp. The “cut-up” of the group. He is always looking for ways to crack jokes. He is very sharp and loves singing his tailor-made solos. He wears a retainer and has a slight speech impediment or lisp. JINX: (Tenor) The shy one. He is terrified. He doesn’t always remember what song comes next or what the next move is. He is Sparky’s step-brother and there is a little step-sibling rivalry going on between them. SMUDGE: (Bass) The worrier. He worries about the props, about the running order and always assumes that the audience won’t like him. He has a chronic nervous stomach. He is very reluctant to perform. He is also dyslexic when it comes to telling his left foot from his right.
