Looking for Performers for "Women's One Acts+" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. The theatre company is looking for performers for "Women's One Acts+". Please see the details below. About the project: "The Box Play (A Play About Boxes)" When college freshman Morgan is forced to leave her childhood home due to her abusive stepmom, her best friend Lucy shows up to help pack. Morgan sets up three boxes -- one for sentimental items, one for her clothing, and one for "other," or anything else. As they go through Morgan's memories and belongings, Lucy gains uncomfortable insights into how Morgan sees their relationship. "Discarding Skirts" In 1908, Frank Woodhull sails back to America to the challenge of a lifetime. Were names really changed at Ellis Island? This one is. And, in the process, an identity that bravely rejects society's limitations on a woman's gender is, unwillingly, revealed. "Perfect Maid" When a single woman decides to get back together with the schmuck of a boyfriend who cheated on her, the maid—who cleaned the woman’s apartment and set her wounded life back on course—returns to keep the breakup intact. "7-10 Split" Lois Lanes, a drag queen, goes to a bowling alley to pay homage to their late grandmother and reflect, with laughter and grief, the life lessons this feisty lady taught about not only being able to bowl a strike, but live life to its fullest. "Identity" A son's world is shaken when his mother, suffering from Alzheimer's, mistakes him for someone else and then shocking truths are revealed. "Ashes to Dust" Hattie's father has just died, and she is not handling it well. It's hard enough to keep her head above water with her bickering siblings, but her bickering daughters are not helping matters. In the car leaving the wake, Hattie must make a confession to her daughters and hope for understanding.
