[NEohioPAL] "The Book of Grace" auditions at CPT

[Beth Wood]

Cleveland Public Theatre announces auditions for:
The Book of Grace
Written by Suzan Lori Parks
Directed by Sheffia Randall Dooley.

This exciting new work will come to CPT fresh from its off-Broadway run. The Book of Grace is a multi-layered story of race, terrorism, borders, family, and the consequences of history. African-American veteran of the Iraq war, Buddy arrives to meet his estranged father, Vet, a white vet of desert storm and border patrolman. Their encounter hints of dark secrets and when Vet's oppressed wife Grace enters the picture things get more complicated. Buddy asks Vet for a job on the patrol and Grace wants to share her deepest hopes for humanity. Vet prepares to receive a special accommodation for arresting criminals crossing the border, but Buddy has plans for vengeance.

Suzan-Lori Parks has written many plays, including Venus, In The Blood, and the Pulitzer Prize winning Topdog/Underdog, and is noted as one of America's most important playwrights.
