Theatre Casting Call for “Fuddy Meers”

Auditions for production of “Fuddy Meers”. Lookinjg for actors. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: "Fuddy Meers is a dark comedy in which the central character, Claire, has a rare form of psychogenic amnesia that erases her memory whenever she goes to sleep. Every morning, she wakes up with a blank slate. Every morning her chipper husband shows her a book containing essential information to start her day. This morning, after he leaves the room, a limping, lisping, half blind, half deaf man in a ski mask pops out from under her bed. He claims to be her brother and here to save her, and she’s hustled off to the country home of her mother, a recent stroke victim whose speech has been reduced to gibberish. The journey becomes more complicated when a dimwitted thug with a foul-mouthed hand puppet pops up at a window and her husband and perpetually stoned son show up with a claustrophobic lady-cop they have kidnapped. Every twist and turn in this fun-house plot brings Claire closer to revealing her past life and everything she thought she had forgotten. It’s one harrowing and hilarious turn after another on this roller coaster ride of an amnesiac trying to decipher her fractured life. This poignant and brutal comedy traces one woman’s attempt to regain her memory while surrounded by a curio-cabinet of alarmingly bizarre characters."
