OUR NEXT AUDITIONS
03.28.10 & 03.29.10
Mauritius
by Theresa Reback
Directed by April Olt
Drama
Stamp collecting is far more risky than you think. After their mother's death, two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare stamps that may include the crown jewel for collectors. One sister tries to collect on the windfall, while the other resists for sentimental reasons. In this gripping tale, a seemingly simple sale becomes dangerous when three seedy, high-stakes collectors enter the sisters' world, willing to do anything to claim the rare find as their own.
CAST BREAKDOWN
Cast of five: 3 men, 2 women
Jackie — 20s
Edgy and hardened by life, yet naïve (or is she?). She was left alone to care for her dying mother. She is now in possession of the stamps she believes to be hers and ready to take on all comers.
Mary — 30s
Jackie's elder half-sister, calm, tough, polished and prepared to defend her interests.
Philip — 40s–60s
Owner of a stamp shop, distrusting, shady and calculating. Age unimportant.
Dennis — 30s–40s
A sometime stamp dealer and freelance con man. He is charming and attractive, and he uses this to his advantage.
Sterling — 40s—60s
A wealthy gangster, charming until crossed. He commands a room without trying.

Please read the script prior to the auditions. You may check out scripts through the director for 48 hours. Note: While Mauritius explores a "battle of wits," it also contains physical battles. In other words, the actors should be able to participate in intense stage combat scenes.
