Director: Deborah Zoe Laufer
First rehearsal May 29th, opens June 14, closes June 23
[MAUDE] – Any ethnicity. A thirty-year-old fortune teller from Brooklyn. She can see the future. She really can. She hates her life, she hates her job, but believes that she is powerless to change it. She dons an overblown fortune-teller's voice and costume when she is working -- no one ever sees her as she really is.
[JEREMY] – Any ethnicity. Age Range: 30 – 40. An accountant from Brooklyn Heights. Desperate for love, Jeremy drives everyone away. He's remarkably naive and a very sweet and decent human being.
