Project: THE STORY OF RUTH : A New Adaptation with Music
The Salvation Army Times Square - Theatre 315 is now accepting applications for its upcoming stage production of The Story of Ruth, a new adaptation with music. This ancient biblical short story is a deeply moving narrative that explores daring faith, deep friendship, and true love when two widows band together to overcome impossible odds.
Performance dates are Thu, Fri, & Sat evenings from Oct 31 - Nov 23 for a total of 12 shows.
Rehearsals are scheduled every Saturday from Sep 14 - Oct 26, including two evening Dress Rehearsals on Tue Oct 29 & Wed Oct 30.
We are seeking a total of 5 Actors for our cast.
AVAILABLE ROLES:
ANGEL (21 - 35, any ethnicity) the song leader and narrator of the story, who mysteriously appears and disappears throughout the show. Strong singing ability required. This role doubles with the role of Orpah.
ORPAH (21 - 35, any ethnicity) a Moabite widow and daughter-in-law to Naomi who initially decides to join Naomi on her journey to Bethlehem. However, she ends up changing her mind and remaining in Moab. This role doubles with the role of the Angel.
NAOMI (35 - 60, any ethnicity) a Hebrew widow and mother-in-law to Orpah and Ruth who decides to return to her home in Bethlehem after losing her husband and sons. She has endured devastating defeat and sees no way to recover from her life’s tragedies. Her name means “pleasant” but when she returns to Bethlehem she insists on being called Mara, which means “bitter”.
RUTH (21 - 35, any ethnicity) a Moabite widow and daughter-in-law to Naomi who insists on returning with Naomi to Bethlehem. Despite Naomi’s pleading, and despite the fact Ruth will be viewed as a foreigner in Bethlehem, Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi wins out, overcoming her objections. Ruth’s continued faithfulness catapults these two widows into a promising life and unexpected ending in Bethlehem.
BOAZ (35 - 55, any ethnicity) a wealthy Hebrew landowner in Bethlehem, and relative of Naomi. His name means “strong” and his character is impeccable. He risks his good name and reputation to help Ruth, and ends up falling in love with her.
OVERSEER (30 - 60, any ethnicity) a servant who manages the workers harvesting in Boaz's field. He is a trusted steward of Boaz, and subtly operates as a kind of mentor as well. This role doubles with the role of Kinsman.
KINSMAN (30 - 60, any ethnicity) a Hebrew man in Bethlehem, and relative of Naomi. He is in a unique position to help Naomi & Ruth in their widowhood, and Boaz compels him in front of the whole town to make his decision and changes the course of history for everyone. This role doubles with the role of Overseer.
