Auditions for our 58th season.
Dragonsocks and Queen of the Universe
Written by Brendon Smith
Directed by Suzan Kurry
Josephine is spiteful, bitter, sharp-tongued, and absolutely certain everyone in the nearby town hates her—especially after she decked someone she thought was her sister. With nowhere else to turn, her adult child, Reg, brings Indy, a prototype robotic caregiver with infinite patience. What follows is a comedy fueled by stubbornness, sarcasm, and unexpected heart, asking whether it’s ever possible to rewrite our programming—human or otherwise.
Date/Time: Sun. Aug. 30th, 1PM-3PM, OR Mon. Aug 31st, 7:15PM-10PM
Location: Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center, 504 S Brearly St, Madison, WI 53703
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
Performances will be October 30 – November 15.
