About the project: Undine has it all – success, love, and a fabulous wardrobe. When her life unravels in one hilarious reversal after another, she is forced to return to a life she had long left behind. In this satirical comedy, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage asks Undine – and all of us – whether you can really ever go home again. Additional info: Auditionees are asked to prepare a 1-2 minute contemporary monologue. You will also be asked to read sections from the script.
