The Show
·      Forty-seven years after WAIT UNTIL DARK premiered on Broadway, Jeffrey Hatcher has adapted Frederick Knott’s 1966 original, giving it a new setting. In 1944 Greenwich Village, Susan Hendrix, a blind yet capable woman, is imperiled by a trio of men in her own apartment. As the climax builds, Susan discovers that her blindness just might be the key to her escape, but she and her tormentors must wait until dark to play out this classic thriller’s chilling conclusion.
 
Available Roles -
 
Susy - Female Identifying - 20’s/30’s
·      Our heroine. She was blinded a year ago in a car accident. Married to Sam. She is calm, resourceful, and intelligent. Unknowingly in possession of a doll full of drugs. 
 
Sam – Male Identifying – 30’s
·      Susan’s husband. He is a photographer. He received the doll at the airport from Lisa (not knowing it was full of drugs) and later misplaced it. 
 
Mike – Male Identifying – 30’s/40’s
·      A con-man who has done a recent stint in prison. Former partner of Lisa and Carlino. His job is to get close to Susy, where he gradually becomes sympathetic with her. 
 
Carlino – Male Identifying – 30’s/40’s
·      Talman's partner, another con-man who has just been released from prison. Pretends to be a police sergeant in the scheme. Seems to be the most hot-headed of the three.
 
Upstairs Neighbor Child  – Any Gender – Actors that can play between 12-14
·      The Hendrix's upstairs neighbor. They helps Susy out with chores and various tasks. They loves Sam but is difficult and petulant when dealing with Susy.
