Judge Biddle had been Attorney General under Franklin Roosevelt. After the war, President Truman named him Chief judge of the Tribunal at Nuremberg.<br> <br>The play is about a "green" young girl, fresh off the Canadian prairie and an old aristocratic curmudgeon "trying" to negotiate and span the enormous differences of youth and age, and of class and culture. The Judge was angered with his physical infirmities and enraged at a once brilliant mind that now betrayed him While his frustrations could bring his youthful emanuensis to tears, she realized she was witnessing a man of great intellectual abilities doing battle, fiercely, with his mortality. As their sometimes comical, sometimes argumentative days together passed, the fondness and understanding for each other grew. <br> <br><b>Characters:</b><br> <br>Judge Francis Biddle......An 81 year old, once brilliant man who was Attorney General under Franklin Roosevelt. After a long and illustrious career he now functions, as he says, "somewhere between lucidity and senility." He is a scion of an old, Main Line Philadelphia family.<br> <br>Sarah Schorr...... A twenty-five year old girl who has been hired by Mrs. Biddle to be the judge's secretary. She is a direct, plain-spoken peasant girl originally from the prairie province of Saskachewan.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>For additional information contact Director, Nancy Wilder at <a href="mailto:nanactress@nycap.rr.com">nanactress@nycap.rr.com</a> or 438-4303.<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:#333333'>Auditions are open to the public.<br>No membership or fee required. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:#333333'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span class=yshortcuts><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Auditions are held at</span></b></span><span style='color:#333333'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b><span lang=EN style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>The </span></b><b><span lang=EN style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Sand Lake Center for the Arts</span></b><b><span lang=EN style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'> </span></b><span style='color:#333333'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'>2880 NY 43, Averill Park, NY</span><span style='color:#333333'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'>½ mile east of the blinking light in Averill Park.</span><span style='color:#333333'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>518-674-2007</span><span style='color:#333333'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'> </span><span style='color:#333333'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b><span lang=EN style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'>For more information </span></b><span style='color:#333333'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b><span lang=EN style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Visit the SLCA web site at </span></b><b><span lang=EN style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><a href="http://www.slca-ctp.org/" title="blocked::http://www.slca-ctp.org/
