SYNOPSIS
Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go. In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next-door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes.

CAST REQUIREMENTS
7 Roles: 4 male, 3 female Seeking actors of any age 18+, gender, race, and/or ethnicity.
Eric Sheridan: Male, 20s to 40s. A bookish, even-keeled police officer who’s thrown into some difficult situations — while not wearing any pants.
Billie Dwyer: Female, 20s to 40s. A police officer. Eric’s partner. Although she seems to lack every skill needed for police work, she is enthusiastic and eager to succeed.
Karen Brown: Female, 20s to 40s. An accountant who usually has a very professional demeanor, but seems unable to keep herself in control today. Note: the actress cast would likely be on stage in her underwear and/or a slip.
Mayor Meekly: Male, 50s to 70s. A sweet, gentle fellow, who seems very Innocent (with a capital I)
Agent Frank: Male, 20s to 50s. Town Hall head of Security. Although he can seem confident and even gruff, in moments of crisis he is easily reduced to a very frightened man.
Todd: Male, 20s to 50s. Speaks with a pronounced Scottish accent. A professional hit man who’s accent gets thicker the angrier he gets, until he’s completely indecipherable.
Mary Meekly: Female, 50s to 70s. The Mayor’s wife. Small statured, she seems very sweet natured, and a good match for her husband the mayor.
