First produced on Broadway in 1989 and inspiring an Academy Award-nominated film of the same name, Aaron Sorkin’s A FEW GOOD MEN tells the story of military lawyers at a court-martial who uncover a high-level conspiracy in the course of defending their clients, two United States Marines accused of murder. Based on events that took place at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in July 1986, A FEW GOOD MEN is a riveting courtroom drama that investigates both the nature of our military mentality and the Marine code of honor.

Available Roles
Lt. j.g. Daniel A. Kaffee
Male 25-40. Young Navy lawyer with a reputation for a quick plea bargain. Very bright and well-educated; son of a legendary trial attorney and lawmaker.
Lt. Cmdr. Joanne Galloway
Female 24-40. Young Navy J.A.G. lawyer. Aggressive and assertive. By the book lawyer.
Lt. j.g. Sam Weinberg
Male 25-40. Defense Team. Kaffee's second chair for the murder trial, and a good friend. Much more of a straight shooter than Kaffee.
Lt. Col. Nathan Jessup
Male 30-45. USMC; a tough, bigoted Vietnam veteran. A career officer shaped by decades of cold-war politics. Stationed as Commanding Officer of the N. A.B. at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Youngest such C.O. in the Marines.
Lt. Jack Ross
Male 28-45. Marine prosecuting attorney. No nonsense lawyer with a keen political sense. Similar to Kaffee, he just doesn't have all the rule-breaking in him.
Lt. Jonathan James Kendrick
Male 28-45. Career marine. He only believes in 4 things: Unit, Corp, God, and Country. Cross Rev. Jim Baker or Billy Graham with an Army drill sergeant and you get Kendrick.
Pfc. Louden Downey
Male 21-30. Defendant. Not a real deep thinker. Downey usually follows Dawson's lead. He believes completely in the military ideals of honor and integrity. Follows orders.
Pfc. William T. Santiago
Male 21-30. Underachieving Marine that dies from the "Code Red" discipline applied by fellow Marines. Nice guy, buddies like him even though he's not cutting the mustard.
Lance Cpl. Harold Dawson
Male 21-35. Defendant. Downey's squad leader. Regular Marine, follows orders. Dawson is slightly faster on his feet than Downey, and tends to make decisions for both of them. The Corps is his life.
Capt. Matthew Markinson
Male 35-50. Career Marine. Solid officer, reports to a younger C.O. in Jessup and that rubs him a bit. Conscientious guy. Blaming his own weakness for the loss of Santiago, and facing dishonoring himself and the Marine Corp publicly, he commits suicide.
Cpl. Jeffrey Owen Howard
Male 24-45. Squad leader at Gitmo. Called as a witness in the trial.
Capt. Julius Alexander Randolph
Male 40-60. Judge for Downey and Dawson's trial.
Cmdr. (Dr.) Walter Stone
Male 35-60. Chief Medical Officer at Gitmo. Testifies at the trial.
Capt. Isaac Whittaker
Male 40-55. Kaffee and Sam's boss, heads up Navy Legal Department, and while he runs things by the book, he has a bit of an "old boy's club attitude". Career Navy lawyer.
Marines, Sailors, MPs, Lawyers
