THE PRICE
by Arthur Miller

A police sergeant in New York City approaching retirement and faced with uncertainty about the future. He gave up his dream of an education to support his bankrupt father many years ago. Despite his good nature and loyalty, he carries great insecurity and deeply rooted frustration. ALREADY CAST
Esther Franz (Female, 50s)
Victor’s wife, she has shared in the financial turmoil Victor has endured as he cared for his aging father.

Walter Franz (Male, mid-50s)
Victor’s estranged brother. A prominent doctor who despite his great professional success endured a nervous breakdown. Pragmatic and self-centered by nature, he has come to realize the price his actions have had on his family.

A tenured, well-traveled professor of history at “an elite and storied research university in the Northeast; she is well-respected, independent, ambitious; considers herself a feminist, and has made her way, successfully through a male-dominated field; she analyzes situations from every angle before reaching a conclusion, often playing devil’s advocate; she may be set in her ways, although she would not admit it. She believes progress takes time.
Zoe Reed (Female, 20, Black)

FADE
by Tanya Saracho
Rehearsals start June 23 | Runs July 25 thru August 23
Lucia (Female, late 20s, Latina)
Mexican-born, acculturated. When in Mexico one would call her a “fresa,” but here, she’s just an Americanized Mexican who navigates the code-switching between Spanish and English as well as the rest of her (globalized) generation. This is the “Tuitear” and “Googolear” generation.
Abel (Male, early 30s, Latino)
Born in the US, Mexican-American but quite Mexicanized. Born and raised in LA, proud of his Mexican heritage. Got a little bit of a chip on his shoulder. Oh, by the way, don’t ask about his tattoos because it really bothers him to talk about them, okay? Just don’t. He gets grumpy.
