Reviews
"Fun. Delightful. Totally satisfying."
Gia on the Move
"Disasteroid! takes what could be a tragic premise and turns it into something hopeful and freeing, posing the question: if we were able to, what kind of life would we want to lead?"
Media Geeks
"Disasteroid! is a sweet love story given urgency by impending doom… "

Casting
Casting Note
Two of the performers play a variety of characters.
Arthur Edgley - 30s-40s
A cog at the tax office who’s been cowed into submission by the ravages of a mundane life, but still hopeful; thinks about the big picture. (Tenor, A2-G#4)
Mabel Bellcoat - 30s-40s
Charitable giving is her life’s work; pragmatic under normal circumstances, a woman of the people. (Mezzo-Soprano, G3-F5)
Ensemble Mezzo Soprano
Plays:
Mitzi Stern – 30s-40s. Edgley and Petty’s tough boss. She likes rules and order, gets pleasure from being ruthless, has strong convictions.
Observer – Leader of the professional astronomers at the observatory; part prankster, part hedonist, part alpha bully.
Daisy – None too bright, oblivious and cheery, the kind of person you avoid at parties.
(Mezzo-Soprano, Bb3-F#4)
Ensemble Tenor
Plays:
Pete Petty – 30s-40s. Edgley’s co-worker; to call him odd would be an understatement, drawn to minute details, thinks about the small picture.
Richard Bellcoat – Mabel’s arrogant husband, cares about appearances and status.
(Tenor, B2-F#4)
