NOT TO MENTION ...
Uncle Albert
An extremely, comically old pirate, and the Uncle that got Freddy into this mess.
Only in the first scene, but a GREAT featured moment, and actor may also double with any non-pirate character.
Lefty & Righty
Two best-friend pirates. "Lefty" has a hook on his right hand and a patch over his right eye. "Righty" as a hook on his left hand and a patch over his left eye. Together, they make one complete pirate!
Between Lefty, Righty, and Scully, it'd be great if we ended up with a tenor, baritone, and bass -- but we'll work with what we get!
Scully
A bit more "arrrg" pirate than his mates, but a good guy who loves to laugh.
If we can figure out a parrot for this show, this is the guy getting it. 😁🦜
Between Lefty, Righty, and Scully, it'd be great if we ended up with a tenor, baritone, and bass -- but we'll work with what we get!
The Police
OFFICER RICHARDS,
OFFICER D'OYLY,
& OFFICER CARTE are
the Sergeant's dimwitted, cowardly quad, and always the butt of the joke.
LOTS of physical comedy!!!!!! Dancers and gymnasts particularly welcome!
written as bari/bass, but we can play.
