Jordan Harrison’s thoughtful, spare, subtly shattering work, a 2015 Pulitzer finalist, explores the ways our humanity is shaped and warped by the mysterious ebbs and flows of memory. What would we remember, and what would we forget, given the power of authorship?</div><div><br></div><div><b>The characters:</b></div><div><br></div><div><b>Marjorie</b>: 70s-80s. Feisty and sharp, but starting to lose her memory.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Walter </b>(Marjorie’s husband): 30s-40s, young career man from 1998.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Tess</b> (Marjorie’s daughter): 50s, suspicious of technology, has a complicated relationship with her mother.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Jon </b>(Tess’s husband): 50s, kind, helpful. As Marjorie says, he has "a face to grow old with." </div><div><br></div><div>All roles are available. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Please contact </b><a href="mailto:info@theatervoices.org">info@theatervoices.org</a> with questions.</div><div><br></div><div>###</div><div><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><div><font size="1"><b>Theater Voices is</b> a company of dedicated actors and directors who present both new and classic works with the specific goal of emphasizing the richness of the playwright's language.
