About the Show:
Biloxi Blues is Neil Simon’s semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy and the second chapter in his acclaimed “Eugene Trilogy.” The play follows a group of young army recruits during World War II as they endure basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi. Through humor, conflict, and camaraderie, they learn about friendship, integrity, and growing up under pressure.
Available Roles (The Lake Worth Playhouse encourages people of all races, abilities, and genders to audition for the roles they most identify with.):
(Please note: the role of Eugene Morris Jerome has been cast.)
Sgt. Merwin J. Toomey (30s–40s): Tough, no-nonsense drill sergeant with a volatile edge.
Arnold Epstein (20s): Intellectual, stubborn, principled recruit; Eugene’s moral compass and friend.
Joseph Wykowski (20s): Brash, cocky, and often crude; a classic soldier type.
Don Carney (20s): Good-natured and eager; loves to sing and please others.
Roy Selridge (20s): The joker of the group; loyal and mischievous.
Rowena (20s–40s): A worldly, kind-hearted prostitute who helps Eugene mature emotionally.
