Character Breakdown – Our House

Our House is a high-energy ensemble musical requiring strong actors, confident singers and committed storytellers. All roles involve movement and character-driven performance.

Joe Casey

Stage Age: 16–early 20s
The heart of the show. On his 16th birthday, Joe makes a split-second decision that splits his life into two parallel paths. We see both versions unfold — the “good” Joe and the “bad” Joe — but they are played by the same performer.

Joe is charming, funny, impulsive and full of potential. The actor must handle emotional depth, sharp comic timing and sustained stage presence, as Joe rarely leaves the action. Strong vocals and stamina essential.

Sarah

Stage Age: 16–early 20s
Joe’s girlfriend and moral compass. Bright, ambitious and determined to build a better future for herself.

Sarah is strong-willed and intelligent, with warmth beneath her steel exterior. Requires a confident singer who can deliver both tenderness and power, and an actor who can show maturity beyond her years.

Kath Casey

Stage Age: 40s–50s
Joe’s mum. Warm, loving and resilient, carrying the weight of raising her son alone.

Kath is emotionally grounded and forms the emotional core of the story. Needs a strong actor with excellent storytelling ability and heartfelt vocals.

A property developer who represents opportunity and ambition in Joe’s “good” path.
