be prepared to read from the script. Sides will be provided.
Looking for 2 men and 2 women
ages 35-50. All roles available.

Jersey contractor
struggling with psychological insecurities. He is emotionally
unpredictable and desperate to connect to his wife Sally who has had an
affair with John. Sam is Chloe's younger brother
John- An affluent head of admissions at a boy's prep school.
Preppy,
domineering and smugly superior. He is loaded with self-contempt as he
faces the stark reality of inoperable cancer. Has had an affair with
Sally.
Sally- The artistically inclined, needy, extremely sensitive wife
to
Sam. She has recently lost her brother to AIDS and has suffered a series
of miscarriages that have resulted in subsequent anger and depression.
She had a brief affair with John.
Chloe- Sam's sister. High strung,
pretentious but at the same time down
to earth. A "walking nerve end", clothes-horse, suburban wife
and
mother. She is a compulsive chatterbox who never seems to stop moving.
Despite her ditsy persona, she is in full awareness of how she is
perceived and why she needs to be that way. Her avocation is appearing
in community theater musicals. /Some singing and dancing will be
required. /Chloe is married to John and is older sister to Sam.

Rehearsals will start the

About the Story
As two
couples spend the 4th of July in a house
left to one of the women by her brother who
has recently died from an AIDS related illness, they mask their fear with
desperate wit and hide inside uncomfortable
marriages--each character struggling to come
to terms with a world of anxious isolation
haunted by ever-present death.
