BREAKDOWN

  Visiting Mr. Green
Recently widowed Mr. Green is hit by a car driven by Ross Gardiner. A 
judge orders Ross to pay weekly visits to Mr. Green to help with 
groceries and other needs. What begins as a kind of ODD COUPLE comedy 
about two men who don't want to be around each other, evolves into a 
moving and touching drama about love, family, and human connection.
Mr. Green: 86. Jewish retired dry cleaner. Recently widowed.
Ross Gardiner: 29. Jewish. American Express executive.
Shakespeare's Will
Written by Canadian playwright Vern Theissen, this one-woman show 
explores the life of William Shakespeare's wife Anne Hathaway. The play 
examines the love Anne had for her husband and her children, the 
challenges she had to overcome, and the sacrifices she made for him.
Anne: A woman of indeterminate age. Actor must be skilled with lyrical 
poetry and be able to handle a one-person show. This is an emotionally 
demanding role and requires a highly skilled performer.
Turn of the Screw
Adapted from the story by Henry James, Turn of the Screw is a 2-hander 
which tells the story of a young governess who is sent to an English 
manor to care for two recently orphaned children. While there she begins 
to see the ghosts of the former governess and a sadistic valet. But are 
the ghosts real or just figments of her imagination?
The Woman: Plays the governess. 20-30s. Attractive.
The Man: Plays all other roles. 30s-50s. Skilled at physically and 
vocally creating dynamic and unique characters.
