Because of such an overwhelming response we ask that people call in to request a time.  As we said walk-ins are welcome but we are not sure how many we can fit now.

  Thank you,

  CALL: (216) 258-1318 for appointment

  PRODUCTION DATES: Rehearsals start October 3rd, Opens November 10th, runs through the 19th

  CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

  LIZ AND CHAS SMALL (age ranges 35-50) A couple perceiving themselves as much younger than they are and use extravagant amounts of cosmetics and supplements.  Liz is obedient to and admiring of her husband, an ad copy writer who puts an exhausting spin on words.

  BETH AND CHUCK SMALL (age ranges 35-50) A couple who are Liz and Chas's neighbors and contemporaries.  They share Liz and Chas's values.

  BETSY AND CHARLIE SMALL (age ranges 16-22) Liz and Chas's children, whom Liz and Chas perceive to be babies.  They live in the masquerade in hopes of guiding their parents to a life of fuller awareness.

  SHADOW (Dancer, any gender) The Shadow is a reflection of Liz's perception of the world around her.  Dancer must be able to improvise to set music pieces and reflect the moods of the music through their physical movements.

  ACTORS: prepared monologue not necessary but a plus (will read from sides)

  DANCERS: prepare your own choreographed piece to your choice of music, CD/Tape player provided, may be asked to improvise

  PLAY SYNOPSIS: 

  The Small family returns from a family vacation at their usual pace; faster than the speed of life.  Obsessed with recording and storing information for their children's future, the Small's haven't noticed that their "babies" are ages 16 and 18 and don't recognize Betsy or Charlie when they unexpectedly join their parents at a restaurant.

  When Chas's friend/rival/neighbor/inventor Chuck Small brags about his technical competence, Chas declares a return to low-tech basics, a ruse to gain time so he can surpass Chuck in processing information.  Liz likes Chas's no-tech idea and doesn't support his ruse, preferring to abandon her virtual life for an experiential life.  As her awareness of the real world grows, she shocks her neighbors by spending a night outside studying the stars with her children.
