Characters

Edmond Dantès

A young sailor on the verge of getting everything he has ever wanted, until it is violently ripped away from him. He emerges years later transformed, armed with wealth, knowledge, and a carefully constructed plan for revenge.

Naive to cynical · Vengeful · Intelligent · Merciful

Mercédès

20s to 40s · She/Her

A fisherman's daughter forced to survive the loss of the man she loves and build a life from what remains. Years later, she may be the only person capable of recognizing the man Edmond has become.

Intuitive · Charismatic · Dignified · Resilient

Gérard de Villefort

A rising deputy prosecutor faced with one terrible choice: preserve an innocent man's life, or protect his own family and future.

Ruthless · Ambitious · Controlled · Calculating

Héloïse de Villefort

30s to 40s · She/Her

Villefort's second wife. Elegant, intelligent, and chillingly practical, Héloïse will go to extraordinary lengths to ensure her son inherits the family fortune.

Envious · Macabre · Clinical · Deceptive

Caderousse

20s to 40s · He/Him

A tailor who knows right from wrong, and usually chooses right, provided doing so does not cost him anything. His weakness, fear, and greed continually pull him toward disaster.

Cowardly · Greedy · Opportunistic · Unrepentant

Haydée

18 to 25 · She/Her

A young woman of noble birth whose family and homeland were destroyed through betrayal. She has survived enslavement, loss, and exile, and now possesses the truth that could destroy the man responsible. She is not waiting to be rescued. She is waiting for justice.

Noble · Proud · Charismatic · Fierce

Pembroke Players is especially committed to authentically casting Haydée, and is actively seeking actresses of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, North African, or other appropriate heritage.

Villefort's daughter, trapped between family obligation and the man she truly loves. Her gentleness should never be mistaken for weakness.

Gentle · Devoted · Principled · Oppressed

Devoted · Artistic · Gentle · Romantic

Benedetto

Ensemble and featured roles

The production includes several additional featured characters and ensemble roles, many of which will be doubled by members of the principal cast. We are building a highly theatrical ensemble and are looking for performers who are bold storytellers, strong movers, and excited to transform between characters.
All roles are open to performers of all races and ethnicities unless specifically noted. Pembroke Players strongly encourages performers of all gender identities and sexual orientations to audition.

Climb aboard.
There's a reckoning on the horizon.

Coming next: Anne of Avonlea

Auditions for Anne of Avonlea will be held, and they will be open.

Because some of the Anne of Green Gables company return for the sequel, a few people have assumed the show is already cast. It is not. Several new characters are being cast from scratch, and those roles are open to everyone.

Audition dates are still being confirmed. The production runs June 4 to 13, 2027 at the Tulsa PAC. As soon as the audition date is set it will be posted here.

To be told the moment it is announced, join the audition alerts list.
