MONKEY World Premiere, by Rachel Greenhoe
Directed by Aaron Kitchin, SPT Tier 3
Susan’s lived a relatively sheltered life, but when she starts dating Margaret, she finally has to
confront the stresses of adulthood while managing her own “monkey mind.”
SEEKING:
Susan- Female/non-binary, any ethnicity. Early-to-mid 20s. A nervous people-pleaser. She came out without fanfare, dropped out of college with only a murmur of disapproval, and moved in with her cousin with a mild “good for you” from her family. Mild and prone to joking when nervous, Susan has a huge untapped reservoir of anger. She considers her mother her best friend. The feeling is not mutual.
Sue- Female/non-binary, any ethnicity. Early-to-mid 20s. The other half of Susan’s personality. She’s everything that Susan keeps
inside. She is jealous, possessive, and angry. She finds herself hilarious. She is not the part of the personality that holds romantic attraction or familial love, so she feels very little connection to anyone who is not herself or Susan. While, to some degree, she is impulsivity personified, she is an integral part of Susan’s personality.
Kate- CAST, possible replacements will be considered. Female, any ethnicity. Late 20s. A permanent literature major who was destined for a life of teaching before suddenly losing both parents. The loss made her shut down. She developed mild agoraphobia which she has done absolutely nothing to address. She now lives off of her parents' life insurance and, for all her snark and bravado, she has absolutely no plans for when it runs out. Snarky, condescending, and prickly are de facto personality traits for her.
Margaret- Female/non-binary, any ethnicity. Mid-to-late 20s. Margaret grew up at the edge of poverty with two alcoholic parents. She started drinking at 13 and left home permanently at 17. Eventually she found bike repair and sobriety in that order. She’s a strict follower of AA and NA, and very rarely allows herself to take breaks. She’s never been anything but open about her homosexuality, but her family generally ignores it, and she ignores them ignoring it. A very literal person, Margaret sympathizes with, but does not understand, people who are not able to do the things she does.
