[Scott Spence via NEohioPAL]

*BODY AWARENESS – CASTING NOTICE/Beck Center*



*BODY AWARENESS** by Annie Baker*

*Directed by David Vegh*



*About the Play:*

It's Body Awareness Week on the campus of a small Vermont college and
Phyllis, the organizer, and her partner, Joyce, are hosting a guest artist
in their home.  Frank, a famous photographer, settles in along with his
portfolio of female nudes.  Phyllis is disgusted by his work and finds it
exploitative, but Joyce, intrigued, contemplates posing for him,
threatening their relationship.  Meanwhile, Joyce’s grown son Jared
continues to deny his symptoms related to Asperger’s Syndrome.  Tensions in
the family rise, as Jared turns to Frank for sexual advice in this domestic
comedy.



By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, *Body Awareness*, by Pulitzer Prize
and Obie award-winning playwright Annie Baker (“*The Flick*” and “*Circle
Mirror Transformation*”) explores what happens when our best intentions and
worst fears collide.
