Characters

Main Characters

Madame Moonshine : The Dame (Male playing female). Big, bold and brash. Always over the top. Worries about her Saloon falling into the grasp of the Evil Sheriff
Sandy : Heroine (Female). Typical damsel in distress. Pretty. Melodramatic. Under the care of her uncle the Evil Sheriff. In love with Buck
Buck the Cowboy : Hero (Male character). Rough, rugged and brave. Stereotypical western cowboy. In town to compete in the Windy Bottom Cowboy Derby
Silent Bob : Buck’s side-kick (Male/Female). A mute cowboy. Must be played by an actor able to convey obvious feelings and thoughts without speech of any kind, but does speak briefly at the end
Tumbleweed : Village idiot. (Large part, a male due to love interest with Fairy Saddle-Sore). Stupid in a funny kind of way. Has unreal aspirations of being a cowboy. He works for Madame Moonshine in her Saloon
Sheriff Cactus Jack : The evil villain (Male character). Dastardly, devious and devilish. A sheriff who has turned to the dark side
José & Hose B : Comedy double act. The villain’s side-kicks (Male, female or either). Two dim- witted Mexican goons hired by the sheriff to aid in his dastardly deeds. Very over the top Mexican accents are a must

Medium Parts
Fairy Saddle-Sore : Fairy (Female). A modern take on the classic fairy. Has a love interest with Tumbleweed
Grandpa/Grandma : Narrator. (Either sex). Must have a strong southern United States accent. Used as a narrator. Can be played as a Grandma rather than a Grandpa

Smaller Parts (All Speaking)

Tom-Tom : Indian Brave (Male). Big Chiefs’ young son
Announcer : (Either sex). The ‘host/presenter’ of the Windy Bottom Cowboy Derby

Chorus (5) Some lines (1st half)
Indian braves and squaws (2nd half) These will be the Chorus from 1st half
All the main parts plus the Fairy are singing parts. If you are auditioning for one these you need to bring your own backing music and be prepared to sing.
If you want audition scripts prior to the audition email stevejamesdriver@gmail.com and will send them to you.
Also looking for people who prefer to work back stage (Costumes, Make up, Set Building, Artists etc)
Cheers
