Unless specifically noted, all roles are open to all regardless of race or ethnicity.

• We are looking for actors with musical talent (especially if they play an instrument), so in lieu of one of their monologues, they may perform 16 bars of a song instead.

• Olivia – A wealthy countess, mourning the recent deaths of her father and brother. During a seven year mourning period, Olivia has sworn to not marry or hear any proposals. Unless it's from that new page of the Duke's…
• Orsino – The Duke of Illyria, the sort to be in love with love. Taken with music and romance, he sends his servants to woo Olivia in his stead.
• Viola – Our heroine. A young noblewoman who has survived a shipwreck and washed up on the shores of Illyria. Disguising herself as a boy named Cesario, Viola enters Orsino’s service and falls in love with him. Now if only she were attracting his attention instead of Olivia's…
• Sebastian – Viola's twin brother, who arrives in Illyria three months after his sister. His planned day of sightseeing goes off the rails when strangers keep insisting they know him.
• Malvolio – Olivia's steward, in charge of her household. A kind of puritan, he disdains all merrymaking and drunkenness, especially from Sir Toby. He's so full of himself he might just be easily led if he could be convinced a certain countess loves him.
• Sir Toby Belch – Olivia's drunken uncle who leeches off of Sir Andrew and conspires to make a fool of Malvolio. Fond of cakes and ale and pickled herrings; very much in the vein of Falstaff from the Henry IV plays.
• Sir Andrew Aguecheeck – A rich idiot, and Sir Toby's unwitting meal ticket. Sir Toby has convinced him that he has a shot with Olivia, and poor rich Sir Andrew's just dumb enough to believe it and stick around.
• Maria – Olivia's lady in waiting and trusted confidant. The brains behind the plot to humiliate Malvolio.
• Feste – Olivia's fool, the only person capable of cheering her up in her mourning. Known to Orsino as well, he's never without a song. Goes along with the prank on Malvolio up to a point.
• Fabian – A compatriot in the plot against Malvolio. We never really find out what his deal is aside from having run afoul of Malvolio in the past.
• Antonio – A seafaring man who rescued Sebastian and smittenly followed him to Illyria, even though his past as a purported pirate makes him a wanted man.
• Curio and Valentine – Orsino's servants
• Officers – Men of Illyria who arrest Antonio when he breaks up the farcical duel between "Cesario" and Sir Andrew.
• Priest – Officiates the wedding of Olivia… but who exactly did he marry to her?
