Our Next AuditionsBy Neal Utterback Audition Dates: Sunday, September 21, 7PM & Monday, September 22, 7PM Location: Abbott Theater, Joel's Way, 9 Spring Street, Waltham, MA 02454 Auditions will consist of readings from the script. For further information
please contact the director at gordon.ellis@yahoo.com CAST OF CHARACTERS JAKE – (male, 20s-50s) A thug with a brain. Under the right circumstances, he'd be considered a man of few words. These aren't the right circumstances. Instead he is a man of calculated patience who can and will be pushed to his breaking point. A noble soul in a backwards world, he's made peace with his role in the grand scheme, even if he's not happy about it. DAVEY – (male, 20s-40s) Jake's partner in crime. Energetic, impetuous, and unfiltered. He's the kind of guy who's mouth is always working even when his brain isn't. He knows just enough to be dangerous, but doesn't have the steel to back it up. More trouble than he's worth in a world where trouble usually winds up dead. VICK – (female, 20s-40s) A career-minded journalist with a taste for cynicism. She manages to balance an almost overwhelming self-confidence with a healthy dose of fear and anxiety. She'll stop at nothing to get the story, and to satisfy her own personal needs, but even in a world where she is queen, she knows she cannot survive alone. LAUREN – (female, 20s-40s) Vick's partner. A successful surgeon who now finds herself at a crossroads. Having watched her mother make a slow decent into madness, Lauren is now desperately in search of answers to questions she never before dared ask. Emotionally exhausted but spiritually uplifted, she is awakening to a whole new world of possibilities. T – (female, 20s) A high-end call-girl with a razor wit. T's stock and trade is sarcasm as a defense mechanism. A self-professed compulsive liar, she'll tell you whatever you want to hear, just so long as she doesn't have to listen to what you want to say. Sassy, brassy, and unafraid to put on a good show, at least until the going gets too real in her world of make believe. JOHN – (male, 30s) A once successful scientist who now carries with him a dark secret, the burden of which threatens to crush him. Somewhat shy, he takes things at their face value, which only increases the degree of difficulty he faces in getting people to believe his story. A man who finds himself in a world he is no longer familiar with. MAN – (male, 20s-30s) A character with one line of dialogue who is nonetheless on stage for the duration of the show and is at the heart of the story. To say more would be to say too much.
