The Stories:
Once a Week at Best (2 M, 2F): A young man and woman, onstage during a performance, let their off-stage romantic problems overflow into the play they’re performing, creating havoc and embroiling the director and the tech crew into the fracas. Fourth walls are broken as well as some hearts.
Michelle (F): twenties or thirties
Robbie (M): twenties or thirties
Terry (M): early twenties
Emily (F): early twenties
Burnt (2 M): Jonah unexpectedly visits his estranged father and a childhood treehouse becomes the foreground for Jonah’s over-grown need to find a meaningful relationship. The drama explores how to let go and when to hold on.
Jonah (M): twenties to thirties.
Marcelo (M): fifties and up.
Fifty Ways (1 M, 1 F): A suicidal man, depressed over a break up, has his plans interrupted when an intriguing and attractive woman invades his apartment to escape a creepy stalker. (The actors in this production will possibly also portray Michelle and Robbie in Once a Week at Best.)
Calvin (M): twenties or thirties
Angela (F): twenties or thirties
Hotel Menage (3 M, 2 F): Three strangers find themselves having to share a room in a new-age hotel with unconventional policies and a very stubborn and comedic clerk.
Kate (F): twenties to thirties
Ash (M): a flight attendant, twenties to thirties
Gingi (F): a homeless woman, any age
Hotel Clerk (M): any age
Cal (M): twenties to thirties (Cal’s role is two very short scenes and will be portrayed by an actor cast in one of the other one acts.)
Happy Birthday, Martha (1 M, 1 F): Martha, a wealthy and controlling matriarch suddenly finds herself at the mercy of her beleaguered husband Arthur, a put upon, somewhat timid man has concocted a rather unsettling surprise for his wife Martha on the occasion of her birthday
Arthur (M): Character age is 60 ish but actor range can be 50’s – 60+
Martha (F): Character age is 60ish but actor range can be 50’s – 60+
