Audition Info:

Auditions will consist of cold read from the script. We'll be looking for chemistry between actors as well as individual ability to portray complex emotions.

Characters:

Judy - Female, mid to late thirties. Our protagonist, she loves the nostalgia of the 1950s and has arranged her life to resemble this era. A complex character whose layers peel throughout the course of the play. She is the perfect housewife, the home goddess and the incarnation of many men’s dreams, but under this hides fragility and escapism. This role requires intimacy, including unwanted advances from another character

Johnny - Male, mid to late thirties. Judy's husband, another complex character. On the surface he's content with the reality he is in, but underneath starts to quietly question this contentment. This role requires intimacy

Sylvia - Female, mid to late sixties. Judy's mother, a product of the 1960s hippy lifestyle, she doesn't understand Judy's choices. Sylvia used to be a feminist activist and feels quite strongly about empowering women. She loves her daughter but fails to comprehend her.

Fran - Female, mid to late thirties. Judy's friend. Fran likes hanging out with Judy and Johnny and is impressed with their lifestyle while curious of their motives. Requires minimal intimacy

Alex - Female, late twenties to early thirties. Johnny's new boss. She's very career driven and focused on work, acting as a partial foil to Judy. 

Marcus - Male, forties or early fifites. Fran's husband, likes the idea of the idal 50s housewife. Old school in his beliefs and course in how he treats others. Requires intimacy, including being the instigator of unwanted advances on another character.

Things to Know:

All ethnicities and gender identities encouraged to audition. The character's genders are set as written, but none require a specified ethnicity. This play takes place in England! Therefore, we will be looking for use of English accents during auditions. Don't let this scare you away! We're not looking for perfection, we just want to know where you're at.
