Storyline

A workshop to develop the Circus Arts within The Greatest Showman. This is not for public performance. An opportunity to help develop /workshop with a great team.
Looking for physical actors, do not need circus experience but two roles need upper body strength.

Roles

Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	Anne Wheeler
Description Anne Wheeler is a BIPOC female, late 20s - mid 30s. A music theatre performer with star power and great upper body strength. Songs will be to track (lip sync) for the workshop so all ranges welcome. The team will be developing a number for her on a trapeze of sorts. While we do not want a gymnast for this, we want someone fit, not afraid of heights, someone who’s up to play, strong – someone who understands their body. Anne has 3 numbers in the air, a combo of trapeze and also flying with harness.
Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	Phillip
Description Phillip is a male, open ethnicity, late 20s - mid 30s. A music theatre performer with star power. Songs will be to track (lip sync) for the workshop so all ranges welcome. A fit actor who also isn’t afraid of heights and is up to play. He will be a part of the trapeze song along with the Anne Wheeler. Should have some dance ability. Phillip will most likely be flying with harness - but we will be exploring the best way of being in the air to make the number a showstopper for the audience.
Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	Barnum
Description Barnum is a male, open ethnicity, Mid 30s - early 40s. Should be minimum 6ft, a tall actor with stature, fit, a showman. A music theatre performer with star power who has the ability to move. Songs will be to track (lip sync) for the workshop so all ranges welcome.
