About The Show
The Minutes is a scathing dark comedy that takes place entirely during a single city council meeting. An ensemble piece, it combines small town politics, uncomfortable historic truths and real world power when a council newcomer questions the absence of the minutes from the previous meeting. The Minutes was nominated for both a Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play in 2022.

By Tracey Letts

Directed by Kimberly Roberts

Rated PG-13 for strong language and mature themes, including depictions of violence, racism, and trauma.

Roles
An ensemble of eleven adults to play:

Mr. Peel (30’s) – the newest council member, a pediatric dentist, affable, a “joiner”, returns from a two week bereavement leave to be confounded by the absence of minutes from the previous meeting.

Mayor Superba (50-60’s) – the politically savvy, charismatic head of the council, a 16 year council veteran and a master of social avoidance.

Ms. Johnson (30-40’s) – the hardworking city clerk who keeps the official council records, cautious, fastidious.

Mr. Blake (40-60’s) – a smooth-talking African American politician, calculating, checks to “see which way the wind is blowing” before announcing his position.

Mr. Breeding (40-60’s) – a smarmy, off-putting, privilege-flaunting, but loyal supporter of the Mayor.

Mr. Hanratty (30-50’s) – a passionate, well-intentioned council member with little influence, speaks verbosely, frequently mispronouncing words.

Mr. Assalone (40-60’s) – the Mayor’s defiantly aggressive ally, a combative bully, vitriolic and bitter.

Ms. Innes (60+) – the second longest serving council member who offers history and perspective while focusing only on her own specific agenda items.

Ms. Matz (30-40’s) – the Chair of the Rules Committee, flighty, skittish, easily distracted, sometimes erratic.

Mr. Oldfield (65+) – the longest serving council member, a rambling, cynical curmudgeon.

Mr. Carp (40-60’s) – a diligent and inquisitive council member conspicuously missing from the meeting at the beginning of the play.

About The Show
The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. This contemporary take on the classic tale features Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” alongside an up-to-date, hilarious and romantic libretto by Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane.
