Susquehanna Stage is proud to announce auditions for our next Undercurrent Stage Reading Series 37 Postcards By Michael McKeever
Directed by Jonah McDonald
Performance Dates: July 12 | 8PM
ABOUT THE PLAY:
After years of traveling abroad, Avery Sutton is happy to return to the comfort of his home in Connecticut. Unfortunately, almost nothing is as he remembered it. The entire house is tilted at a distinct angle, the dog hasn’t been fed in five years, and Avery’s grandmother, who everyone thought was dead, is still alive and kicking. Forced to either accept the oddities of his family, or leave them behind, 37 Postcards suggests that you can, in fact, go home again… you just never know what you’re going to find.
AUDITION DATE:
Friday, June 6th from 6:30 to 9:00
at Susquehanna Stage (133 West Market Street Marietta, PA)
Keep in mind, this will be a short rehearsal process and that conflicts are due at auditions and could affect casting.
Please prepare a one-minute contemporary monologue.
Character Breakdown
Avery Sutton: 25-35 years old, bright, likeable, perhaps a little nerdy.
Evelyn Sutton: 50s – 60s, lovely and gracious, somewhat oblivious to everything around her.
Stanford P. Sutton: 50s – 60s, great warmth and dignity, also some what oblivious
Aunt Ester: 50s – 60s, the ultimate homemaker, sweet, daft, and surprisingly insightful
Gillian Moore: 25 – 35 years old. Avery’s fiancée, beautiful but with an edge, a rhinestone wanting to be a diamond.
Nana: 97 years old, looks every minute of it, half deaf, half blind, and foul-mouthed.
