Theater Casting Call for "Ripcord" Play

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for the production of "Ripcord". More details are below. About the play: A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden… Rate: Non-union, non-paying.
