Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for production of "The Tin Woman". More details are below. About the play: "The Tin Woman" is a work inspired by a true story. It's a heartwarming comedy that is a smartly crafted blend of family drama, humor and hope. Joy has had a heart transplant and during her recovery she is questioning her second chance in life. She is depressed because she can't come to grips with why she was given another chance to live. Eventually she sends a note to the family of her donor. That family is also struggling to deal with the loss of Jack, a 36 year old man who was searching for his place in life. When they agree to meet with Joy, the awkwardness becomes funny and heartfelt. Hank and Alice are the parents who can't seem to function nor come to peace with losing Jack. Sammy, Jack's little sister is trying to accept her big brother's death and help her parents move on. Darla/Nurse is Joy's friend (and also plays the nurse) with humor and irony. All the characters come to terms with what it means to truly give one's heart, and demonstrates the power of the human spirit to manifest hope.
