PIRATE ATTACK ON THE 1C BUS GOING DOWNTOWN
Written by Joey Ouellette
Directed by Michael K. Potter and Fay Lynn
SYNOPSIS
Winner of the 2021 Windsor-Essex Playwriting Contest, Pirate Attack on the 1C Bus Going Downtown by Joey Ouellette is a zany and heartwarming comedy about a group of people “othered” by mainstream society deciding to take matters into their own hands. When the city shuts down the only bus route that services their drop-in centre, the diverse people who have made it their second home are faced with a terrible realization: the drop-in center may be shut down for good. Rather than take this lying down or waiting for a “normal” person to swoop in and save the day, they decide to fight back.
ROLES AVAILABLE
Kelly Turnbull (female, 27-40, open race/ethnicity) a “normal” bureaucrat distracted by planning her impending wedding who has been sent to close the drop-in centre. Kind-hearted but accustomed to functioning as a cog in the machine. Kelly is abled, healthy, and neurotypical.
Clair (female, 20-29, open race/ethnicity) a confident and compassionate young woman who is in a relationship with Ollie. Claire has Tourette’s syndrome, with both verbal and physical tics. NOTE: special consideration will be given to casting actors with Tourette’s syndrome.
Ollie (male, 20-29, open race/ethnicity) a passionate and devoted friend to everyone at the drop-in centre, who is in a relationship with Claire. Ollie has autism, and was nonverbal until he watched the Pirate’s of the Caribbean movies. Now he able to express himself in pirate-speak – and occasionally through pop songs. NOTE: special consideration will be given to casting actors with autism.
Aggie (female, 20-29, open race/ethnicity) a shy and curious young woman who is nonverbal – but not unresponsive. Aggie is bold when she needs to be.
