Auditions for our Arisia 2015 show

The Post-Meridian Radio Players are thrilled to announce that they are seeking actors to perform in their next gender-swapped Star Trek: The Original Series episode — “Space Seed”! In “Space Seed”, the Enterprise discovers an ancient spaceship carrying genetically enhanced superwomen from late 20th century Earth, and their enigmatic warlord leader: Khan Noonien Singh.

Auditions will take place Sunday, November 16th from 8-10pm, and Monday, November 17th from 7-10pm at a private Somerville residence. Please email Caitlin Mason at my.london.sun@gmail.com to set up an audition appointment.

Performances will be on either Friday January 16th or Saturday January 17th at the Boston science fiction convention Arisia, a one-weekend run in May/June 2015 (exact dates TBD) and at Boston ComicCon in summer 2015 (exact date TBD).

The roles we are looking to fill, including character descriptions, are listed below:

  • Lt. Michael McGivers (Male) (“My profession is historian, and when I find a specimen from the past alive, it is sheer delight to examine her mind.”): Knowledgeable and competent ship’s historian, who falls in love with Khan Noonien Singh against his better judgment and must wrangle incompatible loyalties and complex romantic power dynamics. Featured guest role.
  • Khan Noonien Singh (Female — preference for Indian or Latina actresses, or other actresses of color) (“The trip is over. The battle begins again. Only this time it's not a world we win. It's a universe”). A genetically engineered human with augmented physical and analytical abilities, she was a powerful leader on 1990's Earth, and hopes to regain her place in the sun. Her attempts to hide her identity and gain control of the ship form the main plot of the episode. Featured co-star.
  • Joaquin (female): Genetically engineered human, a follower of Singh. Hits and threatens Uhura during the attempted takeover of the ship.
