[NEohioPAL] Playwright Seeks Feedback & Space on Play, Synopsis

[Mike Norton]

Hello again!  I have a couple spaces in mind for a reading of my play but thought I'd put my feelers out there to see if you may have a better place to hold an informal reading--nothing fancy.  If so email a reply to me.  
 
Also, your feedback on the synopsis for the play is worthwhile! Does this grab your attention/interests:
 
In "Moratorium", inspired by true events, a young movie company confronts the loss of a 10-year-old girl whose abduction and murder remains a 20-year-old cold case.  However, the playful ghost of the girl, MORGAN, helps the individuals with their own resolve while frolicking with them on their set and in real life. Most affected is EDDIE, the film's director, and his fiancee, BELINDA, who together with the ghost pave an ephemeral triangle of love, loss, friendship, and discovery.  In creating a film about their spirited friend, will Eddie and his company be able to separate the fictions of their defenses from the realities of their subject matter?
 
Scenario: Present Day. New York City.
 
Characters:
 
BELINDA TOWNSHIP is in her mid-20s, a business woman and girlfriend of Eddie.
EDDIE PATRICK is in his upper-20s, director of the film "Moratorium". 
CLIVE TOWNSHIP is in his upper 50s, a wealthy estate owner and father of Belinda.
MORGAN is the ghost of a 10 year-old who thinks she is in her upper-20s, and the subject of the film.
YULYA is in her upper 50s, plays a Russian woman in the film, and could have red hair during the run of the show.
GUY PALMER is a Jewish American in his mid-20s, also an aspiring filmmaker, and Eddie's first assistant director.
DAKOTA is an older black woman who works at the hospital, a widow, who appears in the third act. 

Thanks in advance for your help!
