Mamet's comedy about a veteran actor, on the downside of his career,
who attempts to pass some of his wisdom and experience to a younger
“up-and-coming” actor. Backstage scenes alternate with onstage comedy a
la “Noises Off” in this funny yet poignant play by “the Andy Warhol of
theatre.”</p>

Two men: One 60+ (or able to play this age), one in mid/late-twenties
(or able to play this age). </p>

style="margin: 15px; font-family: georgia,serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 1em; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">ALSO
seeking a stage manager (either sex, any age) with stage presence who
will interact with the characters onstage at various points throughout
the show in addition to serving as stage manager during the rehearsal
process and coordinating scene shifts during performances. In essence,
the stage manager is a third character in the play (and will be
credited as such), although he/she will have no spoken lines.</p>

style="margin: 15px; font-family: georgia,serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 1em; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"><strong>Preparation:</strong>
Headshots and acting resumes welcome, but not necessary. Audition will
consist of cold readings from sides (provided). Actors auditioning for
the “older” actor’s role may also come prepared with a short (3 minute)
cutting from a classical monologue (preferably Shakespeare), but this
is entirely optional. </p>

style="margin: 15px; font-family: georgia,serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 1em; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">
Prospective stage managers (see above) are also welcome to interview
(with resumes) during the auditions, and may be asked to briefly
demonstrate performance of various emotions, reactions, etc. requested
by the director. </p>
