Auditions for Dragonsocks and the Queen of the Universe
Written by local playwright Brendon Smith
Directed by Suzan Kurry (Artistic Director of KR Women’s Theater)
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.
-
- Sunday, August 30 from 1 PM – 3 PM
- Monday, August 31 from 7:15 PM -10 PM
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. You’re welcome to prepare a short monologue if you’d like, but it’s not required.
Performances will be October 30 – November 15
