First rehearsal: September 13, 2016
Runs: October 6-November 13, 2016
Seeking:
ALBERT EINSTEIN
Male, 66. Caucasian. Creative, intelligent and soft-spoken. An enigmatic genius and celebrity scientist. He prefers solitude and immersing himself into elaborate constructions and thought problems over social interactions. He appears aloof to many, but his concentration is his work. Einstein always felt out of place at social gatherings and with friends and family. Forgetful and absent-minded, he always preferred solitude to familial interactions.
MARGARET HARDING/LIESERL
Female, 43. Caucasian. Einstein’s abandoned daughter. Feels rejected and bitter. Deep sense of connection to her adoptive family.
HELEN DUKAS
Female. 52. Caucasian.

Runs: January 12-February 19, 2017
Seeking:
NINA
Black woman. Late 20’s. Hard, quiet power, deeply guarded, and nonetheless brilliant. Has a lifetime of walls up and will fight you before letting them down. Were she an animal, she’d be a dangerous panther. A robber and drug dealer, but in another life could lead a righteous revolution.
KENYATTA
Black man. 50’s . Strong, quiet power, also deeply guarded. Almost a duplicate of Nina, except he has lost the hardness and is now navigating a softer version of himself. Riddled with guilt and desperate to break through Nina’s walls...and his own. A former political prisoner and Black revolutionary. Nina’s estranged father.
DAMON
Black or Latino man, 30’s. Broad, street smart, intelligent, and a drug dealer and robber. Has lost his hardness and is on the brink of retiring from the game. Nina’s partner-in-crime and boyfriend. Not a stereotype. A true, genuine soon-to-be o-g. In another life, could be a helluva scholar..
