	SYNOPSIS: 

	“A Perfect Ganesh” follows two women on a vacation to India
without their husbands. What starts an innocent vacation, turns into a
spiritual journey for both women led by the god Ganesha, the remover
of obstacles, who helps guide them through facing the losses and
tragedies that both have buried deep inside. With Ganesha spiritually
by their side, the women’s journey through India is funny and
poignant with both finding the inner peace that they have longed for
– self forgiveness for the past, and renewed friendship to face
future obstacles. 

	AVAILABLE ROLES: 

	MARGARET CIVIL – 40s and up. Reserved, no nonsense woman. Keeps
much of her feelings buried inside. 

	KATHARINE BRYNNE – 40s and up. Forthright and enthusiastic. Loves
to talk about everything she sees as a defense mechanism to not talk
about herself and her feelings. 

	MAN – Any age. Actor that plays multiple roles throughout the play
– Katharine’s son, a leper, various tourists and workers they meet
along the way. Strong character actor. 

	GANESHA – Any age. Ganesha guides the action and shapes the journey
for the women. Playful, uplifting and joyous in his actions. Wears an
elephant mask for most of the play.
