Synopsis: YOUR BEST ONE is the story of David & Richard, a NYC couple who had it all – a great apartment, good jobs, friends and the good life. When David wants to adopt a child, things go wrong and they part ways. Now, eight years later, a crisis brings Richard back for a do-over to try to be forgiven, to be useful, to become part of the family with David and his adopted son, Josh, who is now a teenager. This is a deeply moving story about family, re-evaluating values and redefining what family really means. There is some adult language in the play.


Seeking:

Capital Rep is an equal opportunity employer, dedicated to equality, diversity and inclusion in all productions.


(1) Male – Teenager. Role of Josh. Any ethnicity. Likeable, funny and slightly irreverent adopted son of David, the lead character of the play. Josh wants to be a doctor, but participates in his school drama club too. He’s very smart, likes to do impersonations and has a great sense of humor. Must appear to be 13-15 yrs old.


Best,
Alana
