*Rehearsals*:           The rehearsal schedule will be based on the
availability of those

                          chosen for the production.  Those interested in

     to be as specific as possible in listing any and all conflicts.

                             Fridays and Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m.

*Casting Info*:      If you are older or younger than the ages listed for
the characters

                             below, but feel that you can portray that age,
please do not hesitate to audition.



     Those auditioning will be asked to read specific scenes from the

                             script.  Please see the story and character
descriptions below

     for more information about the play.





*The Story*:  A Dallas matriarch pays an unexpected visit to her late son’s
partner, who is now married to another man and has a young son.  Generations
collide when she begins to see the life her son might have led, while
coming to terms with her own life choices and how society has changed
around her.  This 2014 Tony Award Nominee for Best Play is a timely and
touching new play about change, reconciliation and becoming a family, that
is at times, both funny and extraordinarily powerful.



*The Characters*:



Katherine Gerard – (70 years old) - Andre’s mother – Recently widowed; very
bitter



Cal Porter – (49-50 years old) – Andre’s partner – At odds with Andre’s
mother, whom he has not seen or spoken to since Andre’s death, 20 years ago.



Will Ogden – (30’s) – Cal’s husband



Bud Ogden-Porter – Cal and Will’s 6 year old son.  Would prefer to cast a
young boy who is older than the character’s age, but who can pull off
looking close to age 6.





For further information you may contact the Director at (518) 758-1838.
