The Doublestuffs!

"The DoubleStuffs: A Pussy Spectacular!"

Act I: Audra's Bathroom
Act II: Audra's Bathroom

Producer: Richmond Animal Care & Control
Stage Manager: Audra Honaker
Costumer: God

1. Gidget (All Female Roles):

Gidget has worked extensively on the Richmond regional theater circuit. Primarily covering melodramatic high soprano sidekick roles, she is eager to hopefully perform her first lead in the near future as someone's house cat, of all things. Having spent her formative hours working to overcome the perceived shortcoming of appearing to wear a toupee (thanks a lot, Adam Dorland), Gidget occasionally acts out by vocalizing when it's entirely inappropriate but overall, is a fine cast mate. She harbors hopes of becoming a writer one day- as evidenced by her routine jigs across Audra's computer keyboard. (Gidget's understudy will be on tonight as a result of an unfortunate accident wherein Gidget fell a great and mysteriously forceful distance after dislocating the Caps Lock key.)
2. Gadget (Understudy to the Male Lead):

Gadget comes to us fresh off a stint of looking exactly like his sister. With a lower hairline. Audiences love him for his perpetually dirty nose, apparent even after eating dry food, which Audra really doesn't want to know any more about. Gadget was down to the wire for the male lead, but lost the role due to his proclivity for being buried in the food bowl any time rehearsals were starting. Admirably full-figured, he hopes to captain the city's first kitten burlesque squad.
3. Gasket (The Villain):

Typecast due to his rakish good looks, Gasket is familiar with his role. Having first made a splash with audiences due to his unprecedented vertical white moustache, he has taken the theater world by storm. Growing tired of run after endless Broadway run, Gasket is pleased to be trying his hand on the touring circuit and is excited to explore RVA in this, the national premiere of "The DoubleStuffs: A Pussy Spectacular!"  Recent tabloid reports that Gadget's dusky foot pads indicate a less that cleanly lifestyle hold no water, Gadget avers. He was born this way! (Audra gets out the Palmolive....)
4. Grommet:

A cat. Nothing to be done.
5. Gimlet* (Male lead):

It's an honor, truly, for RVA that Gimlet has deigned to appear on our stages. A legend long before his time began 4 weeks ago, tales of Gimlet's prowess stalk stages everywhere. His ebony coat; his gravitas; his smoldering blue eyes coated lightly at the corners with a film of salmon pate. Audra does not know how to make an accent mark. This tour marks the first time Gimlet has required an understudy. This is due NOT to any shortcoming of talent but rather to an unfortunate and (so he claims) entirely involuntary tendency to empty his bowels anywhere onstage but DEFINITELY NOT IN THE LITTER BOX.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SHOW! Anyone interested in housing actors should contact Richmond Animal Care & Control. Or Audra, and she'll give you the info.
