King of Arcadia. Arrogant and flamboyantly prideful. Blindly thinks Arcadia is doing great under his inflexible rule.  

Queen of Arcadia. Strong-willed, & slightly jaded from her untrustworthy marriage to King Basilius.  

The eldest daughter of Basilius & Gynecia. She is headstrong, confident, & very outspoken. She yearns to become her truest self.  

Basilius and Gynecia's younger daughter. Shy and a "good girl", she yearns to follow her heart rather than obey her father's orders. 

Daughter of Dametas & handmaiden to Pamela, Philoclea, & the royal family. Unlike her father Dametas, she is outspoken & direct-especially to Pamela, whom she shares a complex relationship with.  

A shepherd boy who, since childhood, has been in love with Philoclea. Under her father King Basilius’ rule, Musidorus & Philoclea are forbidden from one another.  

Musidorus undergoes a transformation into Cleophila. 

Royal viceroy and father to Mopsa, serving as the loyal advisor and enforcer of Arcadia’s laws. Unlike his outspoken daughter, Dametas values order and tradition, preserving the kingdom’s long-held customs 

The Oracle; powerful, mysterious. Demanding. Great sense of humor--can see through everyone--they are the Oracle of Delphi, after all. 

Unique, charismatic individuals to inhabit the kingdom of Arcadia. Chorus of the play, in addition to singing, acting, they must be strong dancers & movers.  

Follow along as a royal family receives a threatening prophecy that challenges the king’s rule and throws the kingdom into chaos, leaving the question: who will seize the crown, and what kind of world will emerge? As rigid order gives way to a liberated utopia, HEAD OVER HEELS becomes a glittering celebration of love, identity, and self-discovery. 

Content Advisory: Head Over Heels contains themes and imagery exploring gender identity and self-expression. It includes moments of sexual innuendo, intimacy with same sex partners, and violence as well as depictions of rigid social structures being challenged and transformed. 

Music Rehearsals will begin in the fall semester starting December 9^th to the 12^th  

Additional rehearsal time for choreography is scheduled for January 16^th & 17^th prior to the spring semester officially beginning.   

Rehearsal will resume on January 21^st once the spring semester begins.  

Attendance at these rehearsals is vital to the process.
