SOUVENIR  A Fantasia On The Life Of Florence Foster Jenkins, by Stephen 
Temperley. Director: Marc Geller

1st rehearsal: July 7, 2008. Runs July 30 - August 17.

 
Cosme McMoon:  Man, late 50s at the time of the play; there are numerous 
flashbacks to 20 years earlier. Former accompanist to Florence Foster 
Jenkins. Dapper. Has been the resident pianist at an elegant supper club 
in Greenwich Village for some years. His audience comes to be 
entertained as much by his abrasive sides as by his music. Seeking a 
strong actor who is comfortable with accompanying at the piano.

Florence Foster Jenkins:  45 - 65. Wealthy society woman who, though she 
believes herself to be a great soprano, has no voice and is incapable of 
singing two notes in tune. Her belief in her talent, however, and her 
dedication to music and the art of singing is absolute. She behaves at 
all times as if she is a major vocal artist. There must be no hint of 
mockery. Seeking a confident and accomplished actress who can sing in 
the coloratura soprano range and has experience with classical music styles.

 

 FALLING:  A WAKE  by Gary Kirkham. Director: Laura Margolis.

1st rehearsal: August 18, 2008. Runs September 10 - 28.

 New comedy. USA premiere. Harold and Elsie, a retired couple, wisecrack 
at each other with long-married familiarity. Very much still in love, 
yet they have a long-unsolved incident in their lives that they still 
have to come to peace with. A play of secrets, humor and discovery.

 
Elsie:  Woman, 50s - early 60s. Retired. Former high school teacher. 
Married to Harold.  Warm, funny, wisecracking, knows Harold well. Still 
looking for answers.

Harold:  Man, 50s - early 60s. Former Math professor. Married to Elsie. 
A little bit of a curmudgeon, but warm, funny, wisecracking and knows 
Elsie like the back of his hand. Wants to please her. Wants to leave the 
past alone.

Stageworks is also casting the non-AEA role of a Young Man who is around
