SUMMARY: AMERICAN STARE is the newest play from award-winning playwright Tony Glazer. Set in a trailer park in South Florida, this new dark comedy, mines the visceral anger of the disenfranchised white lower class. Following the spiraling lives of three sets of people; a widowed woman and her pit-bull, a disabled and accused child-predator, and a couple and their teenage daughter, we are challenged to see the world through their eyes -- a world led by a broken moral compass and tainted with the pervasiveness of special interests. In the end, we learn the true meaning of community.

SEEKING:

Charles Mooney:

Male (late 20s-early 30s) Good looking, blue-collar construction worker who is married to his former high-school teacher, Allison. Father to Jonatha, and friend to the entire trailer park, Charles is easy going until he has had too much to drink, which happens often. Not just a tough-guy: he is smart and deep and really shows the pain of the ‘working man’.

Allison Mooney:

female (mid-late 40s) wife to the much younger Charles Mooney and mother to Jonathan. Sexually voracious but her looks are fading -- she is 'Rode-hard and put away wet.' Allison is a former teacher who now bags groceries at a local grocery store. Can be a bit trashy.

Clark Felix: male

(30s-40s) beer drinking, conspiracy loving, angry Southern man. Lives in a broken down trailer in a small south Florida community. Was castrated by an angry mob who believed him to be a child predator.
