Casting Call: The role of Gorgeous in THE SISTERS ROSENSWEIG

Stagecrafters is auditioning for the role of Gorgeous for their production of “The Sisters Rosensweig”. The performance dates are October 13, 15, 16, 22 & 23, 2011. Please contact Julie Jordan by email (jjordan79@msn.com) or phone (513 235-5609).

“The Sisters Rosensweig” takes place in the London home of Sara Goode (formerly Sara Rosenweig). Sara has attained a successful career in banking. She has a bright seventeen-year-old daughter, not to mention a couple of ex-husbands.

Three sisters reunite to celebrate the eldest’s (Sara) 54th birthday. The family reunion is the first time the three sisters have been together since their mother, Rita Rosenswieg died.

The younger sisters are just as bright and vivacious as Sara, but they have taken different paths in life. Pfeni, the youngest, has spent her life journeying around the world, writing travel books. For years, Pfeni has maintained a long-distance relationship with a bisexual man, a successful theater director named Geoffrey Duncan.

*Gorgeous, the middle sister, is the most traditional of the three. She can’t help but boast about her loving husband, her adorable children, and her promising new career as an advice guru on a local cable channel. Of the three sisters, she is the most rooted in their Jewish heritage, as well as the most stringent believer in the “American Dream.” In fact, she is the only Rosenswieg sister with a permanent residence in America, and can’t quite understand why her sisters have chosen such unconventional paths. In addition to these traits, Gorgeous has some vanity/envy issues. Whenever she is upset, she has a compelling desire to shop for clothes and shoes. At the same time, her fundamental values lie with family. When she is given a gift of an expensive Chanel suit, she decides to return it to the store and use the cash to help pay for her children’s education.
