Based on interviews with residents of Reading, Pennsylvania, Lynn Nottage brings her breathtaking storytelling to characters and situations that have become far too recognizable in the heart of de-industrialized America. At the local tavern for steel workers, resentment explodes when one of the regulars gets a promotion and delivers the news that the factory is cutting jobs and wages by 60%. A strike is imminent. Sides are drawn. As friendship gives way to betrayal, an act of violence changes everything forever. NOTE: The roles of Chris and Stan are cast. ALL ACTORS WELCOME ? MEMBERS OF EQUITY AND NON-UNION ACTORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO AUDITION Seeking: (5) Male-presenting Evan ? 40s; African American; Male Presenting; Parole officer. Forceful. Experienced. He?s heard it all. Good at drawing forth information and unflappable in the face of racist remarks and tattoos. Jason ? early to late 20s; White American of German descent; Male Presenting; employed at Olstead?s until the factory starts laying folks off and his job is gone. Outgoing and likes to tease people. His anger at losing his job and resentment towards immigrants who cross the picket line ? ?and steal jobs that rightly belong to the white folks who built this country?-- as he would likely say ? cause him to turn violent, ultimately landing him in jail. On edge and exudes danger. Oscar ? early to late 20s; Colombian-American; Male Presenting; Busboy working at the local bar; desires employment at Olstead?s where he would make more money and is willing to cross the picket line for a job. Ambitious. Smart. Believes in the American Dream. Speaks Spanish. Brucie ? 40s; African American; Male Presenting; Cynthia?s estranged ex-husband; formerly employed at Olstead?s. Struggles with maintaining healthy relationships with his family and friends due to post-layoff opioid addiction ? his addiction issues are directly related to his being fired from his factory job after his union was pushed out ? but none the less, are ruining his life. (3) Female-presenting Jessie ? 40s; Italian-American; Female Presenting; Recently divorced; Olstead factory worker; Medicates with alcohol. She?s let herself go, looks older than she is. She can be a fun or a mean drunk, depending on the day. She?s one of the ones who really wanted to get out of dodge, to leave and travel the world, but ended up getting a job she never wanted at the plant she never wanted to work at and has never left. Tracey ? late 40s-early 50s; White American of German descent; Female Presenting; widowed mother; economically strapped, a factory worker who?s nostalgic for the past and proud of her family?s lineage of work at Olsteads. Jealous and unforgiving when her friend Cynthia gets a promotion they both wanted. Opinionated. Resentful. She claims not to care about race but her biases are expressed as the tension mounts. Cynthia ? late 40s-early 50s; African American; Female Presenting; mother and ex-wife; she?s worked at the factory as long as Tracey. Confident. Hard-working. Knows she has to work harder than others to get ahead. Has a pleasant nature and gets along with everyone, until now. Finding herself pitted against her friends due to a promotion that has taken her off the floor and into a managerial position, she suddenly has to prove she deserves the job. As resentment builds, she?s torn and must face her friends when salaries are docked and the layoffs begin. TO AUDITION: Send resume and headshot to CASTING at capitalrep.org.

Church St, Schenectady, NY, 12305. PERFORMANCES DATES: March 15 ? 17 & 20 - 24, 2024 Friday / Saturday at 8:00 pm, Sunday at 2:30 pm, Wednesday/Thursday at 7:30 pm REHEARSALS: There will be 3-4 rehearsals per week, days/times depending on cast availability. Please, bring lists of conflicts to auditions. SYNOPSIS: August: Osage County, the 2008 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, centers around the Weston family, who reunite after their father, Beverly Weston, a poet and alcoholic, disappears and is later found dead [1]. As the family gathers in their grief, the conflict between Violet, the drug-addicted mother, and Barbara, the eldest daughter [2] explodes when the family?s horrifying secrets are exposed. AVAILABLE ROLES: Ages listed are for reference points only. Characters can easily skew younger or older, based on the best mix of talent. Casting may be determined by the mix of actors auditioning for the three sisters ?Barbara, Ivy, and Karen -- and adjustments made based on that group. VIOLET WESTON, 65 years old, is Beverly's wife and is addicted to prescription drugs. Violet is a sharp-tongued woman who has raised three daughters, Barbara, Ivy, and Karen. A lifelong smoker, at the start of the play she is suffering from mouth cancer and has become addicted to prescription drugs, not for the first time. She prides herself on telling the often-unkind truth, but she never talked to her husband about his love affair or the child he fathered, Little Charles. Must have no fear of heights in climbing a multi-level set several times a performance. BEVERLY WESTON is a 69-year-old poet and university teacher. He is an alcoholic who takes his own life at the start of the play, leaving his wife, three grown daughters, and extended family to deal with the consequences. Beverly grew up poor and was homeless for a time. He becomes a successful poet and professor, although he never liked teaching and eventually his talent for writing dries up. Must have no fear of heights, possibly climbing a multi-level set. BARBARA FORDHAM, 46-year-old, is the oldest daughter of Violet and Beverly Weston. Barbara lives in Boulder, Colorado, with her teenaged daughter, Jean. She is in the process of separating from her unfaithful husband, Bill, a university professor who is having an affair with one of his students. Barbara once had ambitions of being a writer, ambitions her father thought she had the talent to realize. But instead, she became a faculty wife, like her mother. IVY WESTON, 44 years old, is the Weston?s middle daughter. Ivy is the daughter who dutifully remains unmarried and at home while her sisters, Barbara and Karen, go on to build new lives far away. Taking care of the aging Beverly and Violet has fallen to Ivy, and she is bitter about it. She hopes to find happiness in New York with Little Charles, who turns out to be her half-brother. KAREN WESTON, 40 years old, is the Westons' youngest daughter. Karen has a new relationship every year, and she is unreasonably optimistic about her prospects with her latest fianc?, the sleazy, unworthy Steve, who has already been married three times. She is self-absorbed, prattling about her honeymoon while the family gathers to bury her father, Beverly. MATTIE FAE AIKEN, 57 years old, is the younger sister of Violet Weston. Mattie Fae seems devoted to her sister, Violet, but she once had an affair with Violet's husband, Beverly. Her only son, Little Charles, is Beverly's child. Some combination of anger or sorrow over the affair seems to have left her permanently disappointed in her son, Little Charles, whom she treats with scorn. LITTLE CHARLES, 37-year-old, is the son of Violet's sister Mattie Fae and is named for his purported father, Charlie Aiken. Bumbling and inept, Little Charles has never learned to drive and can't hold down a job for long. His nickname shows the low regard in which most of the family holds him, as if he were a permanent child. Little Charles's lack of confidence seems to come from the scorn with which his mother, Mattie Fae, treats him. CHARLIE AIKEN, 60-year-old, is an upholsterer. He was a close friend of his brother-in-law, Beverly Weston. Bill is a dutiful father to Little Charles and has a moment where he confronts his wife over her neglect of him. BILL FORDHAM, 49 years old, is a professor of English and is separated from his wife, Barbara. JEAN FORDHAM, 14-year-old daughter of Barbara and Bill, is precociously experimenting with cigarettes, pot, and vegetarianism. SHERIFF DEON GILBEAU, 47 years old, used to date Barbara in high school. He delivers the news that Beverly has been found dead. STEVE HEIDEBRECHT, 50 years old, a former Oklahoman and current Florida businessman, is engaged to Karen and is creepy and inappropriate with Jean. The role of Johnna Monevata a Native American of the Cheyenne tribe who works as a housekeeper for the Westons will be pre-cast. Notes from the Director, Michael McDermott: Rehearsals will start January 29. Dates will be based around cast conflicts, but the current plan is to rehearse Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

This growth is seen in her romance with the student, Perchik, whom she loves deeply and eventually marries against her family's wishes. Chava ? middle teens; Chava is the third eldest daughter of Tevye and Golda. She is portrayed as intelligent, independent, and curious, with a deep love for books and learning. Her desire for knowledge and understanding leads her to engage in secret conversations with Fyodor, a non-Jewish Russian clerk, which eventually blossoms into a forbidden love affair. Chava's character arc showcases the tension between tradition and progress, as well as the struggle to find personal identity and happiness within a rigid society.

We will be casting a sighted actress for this role. This is a main character in this Short Student Film. The blind girl gets left in the woods alone by her friend who is taking out revenge on her for something (we find out later what it was). It?s a great scene for an actress to play as she realizes that she has been left alone - she has the screen all to herself to play out this very emotional beat and its aftermath. Also a scene with her mom early in the film that establishes her blindness. 1 or 2 days (short days) of shooting. These are great scenes for your acting reel - the class is instructed by myself - I have 25 years experience in the feature film editing business and will be editing this film.
