World Premiere, commissioned by Bridge Street Theatre from one of Canada’s most
renowned playwrights. Out of work, out of money, and out of ideas, David, a
writer in his 60s, gives up his condo and moves into a ramshackle apartment
building in downtown Toronto. There, his life becomes inexorably entangled in
that of his upstairs neighbor Shelley – a gregarious lesbian in her 80s with
encroaching Alzheimer’s-related dementia – and her long-time canine companion
Shadow. The curious story of a reluctant care-taker who becomes the backbone of
what gradually turns into a kind of family.</span></p>

A scruffy rescue mutt. Long-time canine companion to an elderly (but still
feisty) lesbian with encroaching Alzheimer’s-related dementia. He’s elderly,
too, but still fairly active. And he talks – though only when he feels it’s absolutely
necessary to communicate, since it costs him time off the end of his life to
make the effort. Something of a rascally sage. Shadow is male, though the actor
playing him need not be male-identified. We’re taking a stylized approach to
the part. This won’t be a person in a realistic dog suit. The actor will need
to exhibit both doglike and human emotions and physicality and should bring
lots of their own personality into the characterization. </span></p>

promises to be a very physically demanding role, and the actor cast should be

mid-thirties, but with a slightly raggedy, been-through-it-all look, would be
ideal. </span></p>
