The Story

After storming off the stage of the play she is currently starring in, a theatre diva descends upon the seemingly tranquil beach house of her daughter and son-in-law. Unexpected and unwelcomed, she nevertheless becomes a catalyst for both romance and tragedy, setting the stage for revelations of secrets long kept and forcing the characters to shed the life roles they’ve been playing and stop “acting.”

The Characters

We will be auditioning for 5 actors to play the following roles:
  • Females
    • Audrey – 60s, an accomplished and celebrated stage actress
    • Kitty – 30s-40s, Audrey’s daughter, a schoolteacher
  • Males
    • Dennis – mid-30s-mid-40s, Kitty’s husband, who’s trying to be a “writer”
    • Lucas – 20 something, son of Winston, Kitty and Dennis’s next-door neighbor
    • Gil/Director’s voice – late 20s-early 30s, nervous, fast-talking assistant to Audrey’s agent

* The role of Winston has been cast
