MOTHER PLAY

SEEKING:

Understudies for the below roles in MOTHER PLAY.

MARTHA (Role Cast, Seeking Understudy): ages 13-50; younger sister, the quieter one in the family. Almost as smart as her brother.

PHYLLIS (Role Cast, Seeking Understudy): ages late 30s to late 70s/80s; emotionally chaotic, funny, quick to anger, gets into her stride on the 3rd martini. Hiding her working class background by a pretense of sophistication.

CARL (Role Cast, Seeking Understudy): ages 15-38. The genius in the family. Brilliant, funny, angry and fragile.
