EXTREMITIES
by William Mastrosimone
Directed by Holly Stephenson


AUDITIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY - PLEASE SEE BOTTOM OF THIS NOTICE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT MAKING AN APPOINTMENT.

Marjorie is attacked in her 1980’s rural New Jersey home by a would-be rapist, Raul. Circumstances allow her not only to resist the attack but to turn the tables and lock him away in her fireplace. And that is where her dilemma really starts. Does she release him and risk another attack? Does she go to the police and risk being called a liar? Or does she kill him - and become as low as he is? Her roommates, Terry and Patricia, come home to discover the attacker bound with cords, belts and other household items. The roommates express different points of view about rape in society. Terry, a rape victim herself as a teenager, believes that Raul will not be convicted since a rape did not actually occur and there is no proof. Patricia believes in the judicial system and insists on calling the police. The three friends are also turned on each other at various points in the play, due to Raul's knowledge of each of them through stalking them.

All roles are available:
Marjorie. Female, age 25-40.
Raul. Male, age 25-40.
Terry. Female, age 25-40.
Patricia. Female, age 25-40.

Please note: Due to the nature of this show (adult themes, language and situations), no one under 18 will be cast. Also, there will be no editing of the scripted language. For those auditioning for the roles of Raul and Marjorie, stage combat is required and therefore these two actors must be physically fit and/or able to move very well.

Auditions are by appointment only. Please e-mail ExtremitiesOSP@gmail.com to secure an audition appointment time. Appointments will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, however, please indicate if you have a date/time preference. You will receive a side to prepare for the audition and you may be asked to cold read from the script (all men will receive a side for Raul; all women will receive a side for Marjorie). Callbacks will be Wednesday, November 3, at 7 pm.

Performance dates are January 7 through January 29, 2011 (Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm).
