Available Roles - 

Pastor Manders, 40s-50s. Leans heavily on a sense of authority, not just his own, but society’s. He prefers to see himself and others in terms of their roles. He works to maintain a sense of his influence, though he is not as secure in his rank as one would initially think. He has authentic tenderness for and disapproval of Mrs. Alving. A lonely and emotionally buried man. 

 

Oswald Alving, 20s-30. A painter of some renown newly returned to the home he left as a child. As the show progresses, we learn that Oswald has come home with a secret illness. As he is sure of his fate, he is past courting all the false delicacies of society.  Knowing gives him a note of recklessness, frankness, and impatience with hypocrisy. 

 

Other roles have been cast. Actors include Sarah Denko and Robert Deike
