THE TWENTIETH-CENTURY WAY was awarded the 2011 PEN Award for Drama and the NY International Fringe Festival 2010 Award for Overall Excellence in Production of a Play, garnering accolades from the NY Times, Variety and others. Based on a little-known incident in Southern California history, this theatrical thrill ride explores the collision of reality and fantasy as two actors auditioning for a film, end up juggling various roles to entrap homosexuals for “social vagrancy” in 1914 Long Beach, California.

Seeking 2 men – excellent actors.

BROWN

WARREN

Both men play multiple roles using multiple accents, sometimes changing roles in a line. Fluidity and physical specificity play an important role in getting across these different characters with minimal props and costumes. Nudity Required.
