Seeking (all roles are available):

ALMOST, MAINE by John Cariani. Dir: Chris Clavelli. 1st reh: 5/23/11. Rehearses in Greene. Runs Th – Su, 6/3-6/26.

Man 1:

Track age: Late 20s - late 30s. Actor plays five roles. Role types: A real guy’s guy, but a bit of a sad-sack. Blue collar. A struggler. Former hockey player.

Man 2:

Track age: Late 20s - late 30s. Actor plays five roles. Role types: A real guy’s guy, but in a boyish way. Capable of being open, innocent and unforced. Blue collar. Capable of a smoldering, quiet anger and desperation.

Woman 1:

Track age: Mid 20s – late 30s. Actress plays four roles. Actress should be capable of being the hopeful, smitten girl-next-door in one scene, sophisticated in another.

Woman 2:

Don:

Late 30s–40s. Rough, blue-collar, win-at-all-costs, veteran Little League coach. His son is the star pitcher. Don is brusque, charming and driven. Pushes the boys to play hard.

Michael:

Late 30s–40s. Educated. A newcomer, both to town and to the Little League. Volunteered to coach so he could have an activity with his son, who has never played before. Believes that having fun is more important than winning or losing. Doesn’t like confrontation.

EPA/Greene NY: April 21. See separate notice.
