AUDITION NOTICE

Mass Appeal 
by Bill C. Davis
 
CHARACTERS (2 Men):
Father Tim Farley– 40’s – 60’s – a “comfortably ensconced …priest of a prosperous Catholic congregation” who tends to go with the flow of what his parishioners expect of him.
Mark Dolson– 20s an “intense and idealistic young seminarian” who is assigned to Farley by the Monsignior in the hopes that Father Tim can curb the young seminarian’s idealism.
THE STORY: 
Father Tim Farley, a lover of the good things in life, is comfortably ensconced as priest of a prosperous Catholic congregation. Without realizing it, he has resorted to flattering his parishioners and entertaining them with sermons that skirt any disturbing issues, in order to protect his Mercedes, his trips abroad and the generous supply of fine wines that grace his table (and his desk drawer). 
His well-ordered world is disrupted by the arrival of Mark Dolson, an intense and idealistic young seminarian whom Father Farley reluctantly agrees to take under his wing. There is immediate conflict between the two as the younger man challenges the older priest's sybaritic ways, while Father Farley is appalled by Mark's confession that he had led a life of bisexual promiscuity before entering the priesthood. 
In the final essence their confrontation is a touching yet very funny examination of the nature of friendship, courage and the infinite variety of love, as the older man is reminded of the firebrand he once was, and the younger comes to realize that forbearance is as vital to the Christian ethic as righteousness.
