Rehearsals will start on Monday, June 23.  Depending on availability, there may be a readthrough on Thursday or Friday the week before. Rehearsals will be Monday-Friday 7 pm - 10 pm. Not all actors will be called every night, except the Photographer. There will be no rehearsal on Friday, July 4. 

Audition Location: Runway Theatre - 215 N Dooley St, Grapevine, TX 76051

Casting Details: 4w; 3m

NOTE ON ALL CHARACTERS:  Casting 7 actors (4F, 3M) to fill 16 roles. All characters are open to any race. Listed ages are appearance guidelines. Physicality (i.e. can you differentiate how a 50-year-old moves vs a 20-year-old)  of the age is the main thing because all actors (except the Photographer) will play at least two characters. All that to say, if you think you're too young or too old, AUDITION! You never know! Some parts will need to be available for character photo calls at various locations in Tarrant County. Also, don't worry about any New England accent. Just keep it neutral and as un-Texan as possible. 

TRACK ONE - Female

  • PHOTOGRAPHER (Suzanne) - mid 40s-50s:  Our narrator and tour guide of this small Connecticut town and some of its inhabitants. Once married to HARDWARE STORE OWNER. She takes pictures of the things and people she sees around town. Monologue-heavy part, breaks the 4th wall, rarely leaves the stage. Must be able to slow dance naturally with HARDWARE STORE OWNER and talk at the same time.


TRACK TWO - Male

  • GRAVEDIGGER (Earl) - 30s- 40s : In love with the PHOTOGRAPHER and would do just about anything for her. Not stated, but probably lightly on the autism spectrum.  Also sees and talks to ghosts. 

  • YOUNG MAN (Robert) - 20's : A young man just discovering his first love, YOUNG WOMAN. Involves some light physical comedy


TRACK THREE - Male

  • HARDWARE STORE OWNER (Charlie) - 40s-50s : Until recently, married to his second high school sweetheart, PHOTOGRAPHER. Now lives a solitary life consumed with thoughts of what once was, oblivious of what could be. Must be able to slow dance like a 19-year-old as well as his current age, and have conversations while dancing. 

  • POLICEMAN (Pete) - 30s - 40s : Patron of the local Cafe. Is interested in WAITRESS. He probably goes there more for the conversation than her awesome coffee. 


TRACK FOUR - Female

  • LIBRARIAN (Renee) - 40s-50s : First love of HARDWARE STORE OWNER. They had a fight, she went off to college, and came back to work in the library. She wonders if now is a good time to reignite that former flame. 

  • WAITRESS (Jen)- 30s-40s : Works at The Cafe, maybe dreams of a better life, or maybe this is enough. Flirts with the POLICEMAN. Treats the PERFUME MAKER like any other customer.

  • FRIEND  - early 20s : BFF of the YOUNG WOMAN. Literally has one line


TRACK FIVE - Male

  • HISTORY PROFESSOR (Harold) - 50s - 60s : Married to MYSTERY NOVELIST, but they've grown apart and are headed for an amicable, dull divorce

  • PERFUME MAKER (Martin) 30s-40s : Shy, reserved, isolated sometimes in his world of scents and smells, both a blessing and a curse. Desperate to connect with WAITRESS, but doesn't know how.

  • EMT 1  - any age : EMT 1 and EMT 2 appear twice in the show to revive two different characters in comical fashion.


TRACK SIX - Female

  • MYSTERY NOVELIST (Georgette) - 50s- 60s : Presumably very successful at her trade, married to HISTORY PROFESSOR, but has grown bored of the boredom of her marriage. 

  • FLORIST (Heather) 30s - 40s : Finds the PERFUME MAKER a very attractive prospect, but he only has eyes for WAITRESS. But she's very optimistic that she can win him. She's a friend of GRAVEDIGGER, donating old flowers for him to put at the graves. 

  • EMT 2  - any age : EMT 1 and EMT 2 appear twice in the show to revive two different characters in comical fashion.


TRACK SEVEN - Female

  • YOUNG WOMAN (Florence) 20s :  She thinks YOUNG MAN is her true love. Or is he...?

  • MARJORY 20s - 30s - the daughter of HISTORY PROFESSOR and MYSTERY NOVELIST. She provides comic relief during her parents' breakup scene. Think old school sitcom hysteria like Mary Tyler Moore on the Dick Van Dyke Show.
