JTrannVA for Beauchamp
Beauchamp is a young mouse boy, around ~9-10 years old. He’s shy, socially awkward and has trouble picking up on social cues. He is largely soft spoken, slightly higher pitched due to being a mouse. A bit emotionally unstable, is prone to crying spells, anger, etc. Beauchamp is a lead role, and pays $30!
Note: This character will be yelling, crying, and at one point humming part of a tune that I have written—please be prepared to be able to do all of these things.
Note: name is pronounced as “Boo-chomp”; the ‘ch’ is soft, kind of like in ‘shop’
The lines needed for this audition are in bold, any lines surrounding them are to give context.

Beauchamp: “I wish there was hazel trees. Does hazel even grow here?”

Beauchamp, getting upset: “Don’t talk about my dad…”
Y. Herba: “What? Dude, it’s just a hypothetical C’mon, what would you—”
Beauchamp: “I said DON’T talk about my dad!! You don’t know him, why would you say something so awful!?”
Y. Herba: “Okay okay… {beat} It was your mom.”
Beauchamp dumps a plate of salad on Herba’s head and takes his tray with him, stomps off
