All those who are auditioning should have a prepared piece of music ready to sing. Sheet music or a track is acceptable. They will also be asked to do a cold read from the script.

The Man (Bari-tenor, C3-G4) is an active retiree. Everyman in Bermuda shorts.

The Woman (Alto, F3-Eb5) is an active retiree. A frisky optimist with a sexy but…complicated past.

Ray Roue’ (Baritone, F3-E4) is a ladies’ man. Focused, but with a lack of direction.

Prudence (Mezzo, E4-G4 offstage) is a reclusive neighbor lady.

Naomi Lipschitz-Yamamoto-Murphy (Alto, D3-A4) is the nicotine-drenched resident director for holiday activities. Perennially searching for the next hyphen for her last name. Auditions for her Holiday Extravaganza are, in fact, less casting couch than she might hope.

Adipose Rex (Tenor, E3-F4) is a male with metabolic issues.

Twiggy (Alto/Mezzo, F4-A4 offstage) is a woman. Her name is ironic because her voice is fat.

Query Fairy (Alto/Mezzo, A3-B4) is a spinster quiz mistress who always takes first prize…and second prize…and third.

Zimmer (Bari-tenor, C#3-D4 offstage) as smooth a back-up singer as one of the Pips…the one on the left.

The Lawyer is a half-Southern Baptist preacher, half-used car salesman, half-carney.

Nurse (Alto-Mezzo, Eb3-F5) never met a problem a pharmaceutical couldn’t fix.

Rocky (Baritone, Bb3-Eb4)is a former rock-n-roll roadie who wants to…deliver the goods.

Dopey Barker (Bari-tenor, B3-E4) is a man who reads the prescription labels…but wishes he hadn’t.

O’Hennrietta is a benevolent opportunist.

Nick Dent (song is spoken) is a guy who likes to take a drive. Both his blues and his driving are reminiscent of Ray Charles.

Kaye Marte (spoken offstage) is the voice of practicality.

Setting: The lobby of Pelican Roost’s community center. Pelican Roost is a large, over-55 retirement community.

Nov 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24’ 2024, The hilarious comedy team of Compton and Bennett are off their walkers once again in this all-new, hysterical holiday sequel to the runaway hit about the nursing home and beyond.

Christmas and retirement will never be the same. Assisted Living: The Home For The Holidays® is a vaudeville-esque revue. The show focuses on the crazy antics that happen at the Pelican Roost Assisted Living “Home”, an active, full-service retirement community, during the holiday season.
