What happens when your greatest work of art comes to life…as the wrong person? The great Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo (a.k.a. Mickey) is nearing the completion of his magnificent statue of Moses, commissioned by Pope Julius II. But when Moses comes to life in the blue-collar persona of Mickey’s model, the local butcher, Mickey’s life begins to crumble. He frantically tries to undo his inadvertent miracle, as the butcher, the imperious Pope, and a ravenous Countess all stake their claim in a work of art that truly does imitate life.
CAST OF CHARACTERS
POPE JULIUS: Pompous, intelligent, and rigid. Supportive of those who serve him.
MO: Simple and unsophisticated, yet intuitive and charismatic. One of the guys. He should speak with a Brooklyn or South Philadelphia accent.
MICKEY: Self-righteous, intense, driven, aloof, cynical, passionate artist. His struggle with his sexuality is not because of inner turmoil, but because it is a distraction from his work.
MOSES: Exactly like Mo in character, but made of marble.
COUNTESS: A smart, sensuous woman of nobility. Elegant, perceptive, no-nonsense.
Please note: Rehearsals will commence in December and continue through the holiday period (with a break for Christmas and New year) – 5 performances will be:
February 5, 6 and 11, 12, 13
