FEEDING BEATRICE Auditions
We’re pleased to host an open casting call for our upcoming production of Feeding Beatrice!
ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
In Feeding Beatrice, a young Black couple eager to buy their first home moves into a crumbling old mansion for a suspiciously low price. Soon, they discover they’re not alone—Beatrice, a mysterious white woman from another era, haunts the house with sinister charm. As her influence grows, the couple must confront the home’s—and the country’s—racial and historical ghosts. Equal parts horror and social satire, this haunting play explores privilege, assimilation, and the cost of belonging.

AVAILABLE ROLES
Non-Equity Only
June – (She/Her, Black, mid 30s) Lurie’s wife, a new homeowner. A dance teacher turned bank manager. Warm, determined, smart, cares deeply about appearances and social status but she is not shallow. June lives with an inescapable sense of urgency. Role requires onstage intimacy and violence.
Lurie – (He/Him, Black, mid 30s) June’s husband, a new home owner. A caption writer for the news. Smart, cautious, pensive, goes with the flow for the sake of June’s joy. Lurie likes to take things slow. Role requires onstage intimacy and violence.
Leroy – (He/Him, Black, early to mid 30s) Lurie’s younger brother. A contractor. Playful, opinionated, sincere, funny, and suspicious. Leroy is very pro-Black and speaks his mind often. He cares deeply about his family and community and shows this through directness, honesty, banter, and compassion.
Beatrice – (She/Her, White, 16) A ghostly guest from the 1950s. Naive, youthful, sheltered and violently entitled, but also deviously flirtatious. Beatrice would identify as a victim before an aggressor, even in the middle of terrorizing you. Longs to be like Shirley Temple. Role requires onstage intimacy and violence.
