Looking for 4 AEA understudies for GEORGE, MARTHA, NICK and HONEY.

George Understudy:

(Tracy Letts) A 46-year-old member of the history department at New Carthage University. George is married to Martha. George is smart, caustic, literary, fancies himself above the petty politics and ambitions of academia. Academia, on the other hand has passed him by. He has seen it all and is amazed when things hurt him and willing to retaliate with wit, imagination and brutal force. He loves Martha deeply, in spite of everything.

Martha Understudy:

(Amy Morton) - Martha is the 52-year-old daughter of the president of New Carthage University. She is married to George, though disappointed with his aborted academic career. She attempts to have an affair with Nick in order to provoke George.

Nick Understudy:

(Madison Dirks) - Nick has just become a new member of the biology faculty at New Carthage University. He is 30ish, good-looking, Midwestern, and clean-cut. He is married to Honey. Ex-jock in him; golden boy, callow, self-possessed but believably a little humorless. Ambitious to the core. Actor should be 5’ 10” or taller.

Honey Understudy:

(Carrie Coon) - Honey is the slim-hipped, petite, bland wife of Nick. She is 26 years old, has a weak stomach. Prim, contained with a much deeper self, hidden for the most part, but there.

Young actors must be able to carry off period of the play.
