Auditions
Fallen Angels by Noel Coward
Directed by Kristi Ann Jacobson
Lock up your husbands and pop the champagne! It’s time to get fast, bubbly, & scandalous!
Julia and Jane are happily married. Well, mostly just comfortable. But they share one massive secret: Maurice, a dashing French ex-flame who just announced an unexpected visit. Cue the immediate panic! As the clock ticks down to his arrival, the two best friends descend into a hilariously frantic tailspin of jealousy and damage control leading to a wild, champagne-fueled weekend of desperate cover-ups. Will they keep their scandalous pasts under wraps, or will the bubbles spill the beans? Packed with Noël Coward’s legendary, razor-sharp wit, expect sparkling banter, frantic antics, and a whole lot of vintage charm in this wild ride of a comedy!

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
Julia Sterroll (Female-presenting character, stage age late 20s–50s): Sophisticated, glamorous, and comfortably upper-class, but secretly bored with her marriage. Requires excellent comedic timing, a strong handle on high-society wit, and the ability to play a rapid, champagne-fueled descent from polished composure into hilarious hysteria.
Jane Banbury (Female-presenting character, stage age late 20s–50s): Julia’s dramatic, volatile, and easily rattled best friend. She alternates between trying to act like a proper housewife and unleashing her inner, unhinged desires. Must have great physical comedy skills and chemistry with Julia for their iconic Act II showdown.
Fred Sterroll (Male-presenting character, stage age late 20s–50s): Julia’s conventional, unexciting husband who prefers a weekend of golf to romance. He embodies the rigid, naive, upper-middle-class Englishman of the era. Must be adept at playing clueless complacency and sudden, bewildered jealousy.
Willy Banbury (Male-presenting character, stage age late 20s–50s): Jane’s husband, Fred's golfing partner, and a hot-tempered traditionalist. He explodes into a sputtering, fuming, and furiously protective archetype when his pride is threatened. Requires strong vocal energy and a knack for high-stakes comedic outrage.
Maurice Duclos (Male-presenting character, stage age 30s–50s): The suave, ultra-charismatic Frenchman from Julia and Jane’s past. He arrives late in the play but looms large throughout. Must exude effortless continental charm, confidence, and romantic temptation. Note: Requires a credible French accent.
Saunders (Female-presenting character, stage age any): The Sterrolls' extraordinarily capable, deadpan, and all-knowing new maid. A brilliant, scene-stealing comedic role. Saunders is an expert at everything (music, geography, languages) and stands in sharp contrast to the chaotic main couples.
