The  play by A.R. Gurney is best described as a 'dramedy', both comedy and  drama combine to make this extremely interesting script come to life. It  is composed of five separate subplots which take place simultaneously  in one room of a suburban motor lodge outside of Boston during the late  afternoon and early evening of a spring day in the last 1970's.

The  play is about ten ordinary people who find themselves at the wayside of their lives, wondering which turn to take. Their difficulties and  conflicts are commonplace, but to give dimension and resonance to their  situations their stories are presented side by side, and in some cases,  simultaneously, on stage. In this way the playwright has made the  ordinary seem somehow extraordinary.

Cast Required:  6 men and 4 women, adults of all ages: 

Characters: 

• RAY, early thirties, a sales rep for a large corporation
• FRANK, late sixties, a retired executive
• JESSIE, late sixties, Frank's wife
• PHIL, early twenties, a student
• SALLY, early twenties, a student
• VINCE, early fifties, a businessman
• MARK, late 'teens, his son
• ANDY, early forties, a doctor
• RUTH, early forties, his wife
• SHARON,  thirties, a waitress

Please  come to audition with a prepared, modern era monologue of no more than a  page in length. There will follow cold reads of the script against  other potential actors. 

We look forward to putting this artistic, challenging, intriguing show together. See you at auditions!
