Dead Man’s Cell Phone
By Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Margo Rodgers
Audition Tues. Sept. 10, 7:00 to 9:30 pm
Characters:
Jean**: sincere, well-intentioned, inquisitive, inventive storyteller
Gordon: a rather self-centered dead man
Dwight: Gordon’s brother. Unassuming, gentle, endearing
Mrs. Gottlieb: Mother of Gordon and Dwight. Blunt, cantankerous, frostily elegant
Carlotta** Plays two roles– Gordon’s mistress and a business associate
Hermia: Gordon’s widow. Emotionally estranged; outrageously honest with a drink in hand
3 Ensemble: Non verbal performance. Movement. Not Dance. No jazz hands. Probably throwing things…artistically. Perhaps a wee bit of clowning. Moves quickly.
**will participate in some stage combat
- The production is a non-paying, non-union, volunteer only production
- The audition consists of cold readings from the script
