[NEohioPAL] AUDITIONS: This Side of Crazy by Del Shores at convergence-continuum

[Cory Molner]

con*ver*gence-continu*um* announces auditions for
This Side of Crazy by Del Shores
directed by Kate Smith

*PLAY DESCRIPTION:*
Ditty Blaylock, the most prolific singer in gospel music history, is being
honored by Gospel Music Network. All the stars are aligning to showcase
Ditty’s songs on her TV special. But there is one glitch. A little hiccup.
Ditty has promised a reunion of The Blaylock Sisters, her three adult
daughters who were once national sensations – “little superstars for Jesus.”

Rachel, the oldest sister, who lives with Ditty, is furious when she finds
out that her baby sister Bethany, an atheist and lesbian, and Abigail, her
middle sister who has “anger issues” and currently is confined to a mental
facility, are headed home. What the public doesn't know is that these
complicated sisters have been estranged for over twenty-five years – and
extreme past circumstances, including a husband left in a coma, have made
reconciliation impossible.

Once the sisters are reunited, secrets are revealed, tempers flare and
family wounds are exposed. But… the show must go on!

*AVAILABLE ROLES:*

   - *DITTY BLAYLOCK* The matriarch of the family. Seventy, but some "work"
   has perhaps kept her looking younger. Once a stage mother, she is
   controlling and narcissistic. Lives for the dramatic and the spotlight.
   - *RACHEL BLAYLOCK HANKS *is the oldest sister. She’s forty-eight,
   pretty, conservative and well-preserved  and can never be wrong.
   - *BETHANY BLAYLOCK*, the youngest sister is a very hot, hard-bodied
   forty-five. She has failed at marriage and love too many times to count, is
   now an atheist and a lesbian. She is always thinking, questioning, and most
   likely has untreated ADHD.
   - *ABIGAIL BLAYLOCK* is the middle sister. She’s forty-six, but looks
   older and has lots of suppressed anger. Betrayed by her sister Rachel, who
   stole her fiancé, Abigail strangled the man who also betrayed her.
