Show Information: A comedy of manners that takes place in a dining room – or many dining rooms, where 19 scenes from different households overlap and intertwine. The action is a mosaic of interrelated snapshots — some funny, some touching, some rueful — which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species of the upper-middle-class. It was a finalist for the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Please bring a copy of your headshot and resume and a list of your conflicts, if any.
A rehearsal schedule will be devised based on availability.
Characters:
*All roles are non-union, non-paying*
We are seeking six-to-eight versatile actors – three-to-four women and three-to-four men who will play many roles. There are a total of 57 speaking roles with nineteen blended scene changes. You must be able to move well on stage, be flexible (play different ages) and think out of the box. After auditions, the roles will be divided as evenly as possible. It is important that you like to do warm ups, improvs. and have fun!
