CHARACTERS & CASTING INFO
(60 Min Show)
Alex, the lion, is the star of Central Park Zoo. The King of New York City." We are casting a great singer, actor, & magnetic quality of a showman. Gender: Any - Vocal range: A3-Eb5
Marty is a zebra with dreams of exploring beyond the Central Park Zoo and into the wild. Looking for a solid singer and actor with a sweet disposition who the audience will root for. Gender: Any - Vocal range: A3-D5
Gloria, the hippopotamus, is a bold young lady who shines when she's with her three closest friends: Alex, Marty and Melman. This a great part for a lead performer who can act, sing and serve as the caretaker of the group.
Gender: Female - Vocal range: Eb4-E5
Melman is a nervous, hypochondriac, giraffe. Looking for a performer who can sing well & has great comedic timing. Gender: Any - Vocal range: E3-Db5
The Penguins are a group of birds on a mission: bust out of the zoo and return home to Antarctica. Skipper serves as the captain of the group, always giving orders. Kowalski is second-in-command and a dutiful one at that. Rico is the brute of the group and can karate chop anything in sight. Private's primary job is to maintain their cute and fuzzy disguises. Looking for 4 excellent performers who are funny and work well together. Gender: Any
The Zookeepers introduce the crowds to all the sights and attractions of the Central Park Zoo. Zookeeper Zelda, Zookeeper Zeke and Zookeeper Zoe are perfect parts for excellent vocalists and actors who express excitement and passion for the animals. Zelda has a large solo in the opening, so we will cast an excellent singer in that part. Gender: Any - Vocal range: B3-G4
Mason is a chimpanzee with a bone to pick: though highly intelligent, his species seems to get a bad reputation for being simpleminded, and he takes that quite personally. This is a great acting role for a performer who can make bold choices from the get-go. Gender: Any
The Lemurs are a wild band of creatures native to Madagascar trying desperately to avoid being eaten by the cat-like creatures called the Fossa. King Julien is their leader and the perfect part for an excellent comedian who can sing, dance, act. Maurice is King Julien's assistant who is not welcoming to Madagascar's new inhabitants. Mort is the littlest of the Lemurs, who can barely speak, but it still able to be very funny. Lynn, Lew, Lee and Lars are fun smaller roles for young actors with bold personalities. Gender: Any - Vocal range: A3-B4
The Foosa are cat-like predators with an appetite for Lemurs! The Fossa Leader is the biggest and baddest and is feared by most of the creatures in Madagascar. Looking for an excellent, larger-than-life actor. Gender: Any
Servers #1, #2 and #3 are imagined servers in Alex's dream when he starts to desire meat desperately! Looking for 3 excellent dancers who can sing and dance very well. Gender: Any - Vocal range: D4-D5
The Lionesses are a group of lady lions and Alex's background singers and dancers. These are great featured roles for dancers. Gender: Female
Cameraman, Candy Hammernose, Passerby, Old Lady, Police Officer #1 and #2, Animal Control Officers, Newspaper Man and Ship's Captain are all great cameo roles with speaking lines. Looking for interesting performers who can bring to life these colorful characters. Gender: Any (Some performers will have more than one part.)
New Yorkers and Animals are two separate ensemble groups that are essential for setting up the world of the Central Park Zoo. These groups are bold, specific and full of energy. They will kick off the show with a bang! Gender: Any

MISSION
A theater company created by a mom who understands the unique needs of families.
Paige Productions Theater is an exciting place where kids & teens can find fresh performance opportunities in the Fountain Hills & Scottsdale areas. This company works under a limited rehearsal schedule allowing students to participate in theater year-round. This format allows them to participate in other shows, school activities, studio dance programs and sports, while prepping for a theatrical production.
"Paige Productions is a great place for BUSY KIDS!"
The flexible rehearsal schedule allows kids to travel with their family on breaks
and gets kids home early on school nights.
We are happy to work around other activities & shows as much as possible. Our goal is to provide performing arts opportunities for busy kids, and help young performers make up for lost time due to the pandemic.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Young performers are strongly encouraged to participate in a group class
before taking private voice lessons. Contact Miss Paige for more information.

BUCKET LIST BROADWAY TRAINING: For adults who have always dreamed of singing or picking up where they left off as a performer. Improve overall tone and technique using proper breathing and placement.
SPEECH & DEBATE COACHING: For homeschool students interested in competing in speech and debate competitions. Can be individual or duo performers. Includes assistance with speech editing or writing.
