Audition Description

At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing… and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America.

  • Role #13 - Willie Conklin
    Apply to this Audition/Job

    A racist volunteer fireman who destroys Coalhouse's car, Conklin is the spark that ignites Coalhouse’s mini revolution. He is the very epitome of racial intolerance. His lack of intelligence and utterly palpable displays of racial superiority echo the deep divisions that existed between the various races, creeds, and ethnicities within the country both at the time of the show and nowadays. This character is brash, brazen, abrasive, offensive, and just plain ugly. He’s not a guy with whom anyone can empathize. Vocal range top: F5, Vocal range bottom: D4, Tenor.
