THE PREMATURE CORPSE by Mike Johnson
Directed by Trisha Cooper

Cast requirements: 3M/3F

• Evan Jorris — a tax consultant

• Larry Craig — their attorney
• Bert Marshak — a federal agent
• Thalia Broderick — a medical specialist
• Angie Hoffman — a motel maid

This masterfully plotted show has so many twists and turns…On the surface, it’s a “love triangle” stale: State’s witness, Evan Jorris, under a government protection program after testifying against the mob, has a wife, Francine, who along with her lover, lawyer Larry Craig contrives to do away with her husband, confident that everyone will assume that the mob did the deed. This deceptively simple setup, however, is not at all what it seems.

Performance Dates: May 6, 7, 8 and 13, 14, & 15

**Please not the audition location IS NOT the same building in which TCP performs, but it is in the same Village complex. You MUST enter by Reading Road and not Glendale Milford Rd.

THE WOMEN OF LOCKERBIE deals with the shared effects from the tragic PanAm Flight 103 terrorist bombing in 1988 over Scotland. Set seven years following the bombing, the play explores the traumas experienced by an American couple trying to find any remains of their lost son, and a group of grieving Scottish women trying to get the American government to release the clothing of the dead.

American Characters:

• Madeline Livingston (45-55)…obsessed mother from New Jersey desperately trying to find any trace of her lost son Adam.
• Bill Livingston (45-55)…Madeline’s husband who has come to Lockerbie with his wife to attend a solemn vigil.
• George Jones (35-60)…a U.S. Government official. He has been sent to shut down the memorial service and burn the 11,000 articles of clothing and personal items that survived the tragedy.

Scottish Characters: (a convincing accent is encouraged)

• Olive Allison (50-65)…a no-nonsense woman who is the leader of the “Laundry Project”.
• Hattie (40-60)…a cleaning lady at the warehouse. She provides the comic relief.
• 4 Women (25-55)…they function as the support system for the “Laundry Project” and as a “Greek Chorus”.
