During World War II, Joe Keller and his business partner were accused of knowingly shipping damaged airplane parts that led to the deaths of twenty-one servicemen. While only his business partner, Steve Deever, was convicted of the crime, Keller was guilty as well. When both the Keller family and the Deever family find out the truth, it damages even further the relationships among the children of both families, resulting in the Keller son’s confrontation of his father. This play received the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play.

Production dates: May 12-28, 2017

Directed by Saul Caplan
Produced by Melanie Brenner

A woman named Cass makes a startling discovery about her husband Kip and leaves him, hopping a bus to Niagara Falls in search of freedom, enlightenment, and the meaning of life. She takes with her a bucket list of two-hundred things she wants to do and, along the way, crosses paths with some very interesting people.

Casting Requirements:

• Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
  
• A résumé and headshot are not required but are appreciated.
  
• Please provide a list of all known conflicts.

All ages are approximate and relative:

• Cass: 30’s
  
• Kip: 30’s (Cass and Kip should look like a credible couple)
• Lois: 45-50
• Glenn: 60-ish
• Karla: 60-ish
• Multi-woman: any age, but 35-45 would be ideal

ALL ROLES ARE OPEN FOR DIVERSITY IN CASTING

Note from the director:
“Here’s what’s most important. While none of these characters are floridly psychotic, all are just a little bit off center. Think of a circle that at first glance looks perfectly round, but then you notice that it’s slightly out-of-round. Or two lines that appear parallel until you notice that one of them goes off on a slightly different direction.

“We’ll be especially looking and listening for interesting choices in line delivery; choices that 97% of other actors wouldn’t make. Be brave! Be bold! Be funny!”
