Synopsis
Birth of Soul is a history lesson and love story rolled into one. It
takes onlookers on a journey tracing the genealogy of soul music
sharing with the audience the origins, breadth, depth and influence
of soul music. Through a series of flashbacks, the audience is
surrounded by tunes from Mahalia Jackson, Nat King Cole, Etta James,
Billie Holiday and Fats Domino to modern day.
Available Roles:
School Principal – Ms. Witsum (35-55)
Witty, Energetic, Nutty personality, fun-loving, clumsy narrates the majority of the story and scenes with the classroom, she falls in love with Mr. Crisp. Comedic timing is a MUST, acting is more important. She doesn’t necessarily need to be strong vocally, she sings but it is meant to be in a parody like fashion.
Teacher – Mrs. Strickland (35-65)
As the name implies she is the opposite of Ms. Witsum, she is NO NONSENSE, to the book school teach who is impatient and really all about getting down to business. She doubles as a singer in several of the scenes in the flashback sequences in the city scene.
Janitor – Mr. Crisp (45-60)
Shy and slick, he is the janitor of the school who always conveniently appears to get a glimpse at Ms. Witsum. He is also the person who always has a story to tell about how things ‘used to be’. Acting is most important, singing is a plus but not necessary.
