DIRECTOR: Kevin Cochran
FIRST REHEARSAL: July 11
PERFORMANCE DATES: July 22 – August 7
SYNOPSIS:
Anthony and Rosemary are lovelorn farmers in rural Ireland who haven’t got a clue when it comes to love. They need to overcome a bitter land feud, familial rivalries and their own romantic fears to find happiness. Full of John Patrick Shanley’s trademark dark humor, this tenderhearted portrait reminds us it’s never too late to take a chance on love.
All must have an excellent Irish accent.
Seeking:
TONY
Age 65-75. Sly, wily old Irish farmer who is hard on his son. Stern, unsentimental, thinks he knows it all, and right about everything. Has a dry wit; comes to see the error of his ways.
ANTHONY
Age 38-45. Tony’s put-upon, good-hearted son. Realistic & self-defeating idealist & dreamer; a non-confrontational, misunderstood & sensitive man who feels things deeply. Painfully shy -secretly in love with Rosemary yet unable to take action. A misfit with a shameful secret & a philosopher’s soul.
AOIFE
Age 60-70. Recent grieving widow, in bad health & not too much longer for this world. Blunt & highly opinionated, has some spunk left in her & calls things as she sees them.
ROSEMARY
Age 35-40. Aoife’s daughter. Stubborn, determined, feisty, practical; has a temper & determined to get what she wants once she sets her mind to it. Determined to have Anthony. Confrontational, proud & beautiful; a strong willed woman.

MURDER FOR TWO
Book & Music by Joe Kinosian Book & Lyrics by Kellen Blair
DIRECTOR: TBD
FIRST REHEARSAL: August 1
PERFORMANCE DATES: August 12 – August 28
SYNOPSIS:
A zany blend of classic musical comedy and madcap mystery, this tuneful whodunit is a highly theatrical duet -- one performer plays the detective and the second actor plays all 12 suspects. And they both play the piano. It’s a witty and winking homage to old-fashioned murder mysteries.
Both roles must act, sing and play the piano proficiently. The score must be memorized for performances.
Seeking:
ACTOR 1/MARCUS
Any ethnicity. A young, eager police officer determined to make his mark on the crime-solving world, charming, earnest, sympathetic, happy and hopeful, straight-laced and totally by-the-book, nevertheless he greets most challenges with a warm smile, chipper (not grizzled), his good-natured demeanor prevails despite this very challenging case., Baritone - Ab (low) to Ab (high)
ACTOR 2/THE SUSPECTS
Any ethnicity. A sharp and versatile performer able to transform from role to role on a dime, a vivid, believable and extraordinarily chameleon-like actor-musician
