    Notes

    Synopsis: Three comic monologues about revenge, blackmail, sex, money, jealousy, justice and murder. Performed separately, the tales depict desperate passions, old wounds and cold calculations that intersect in the sundrenched world of The Riddle Key Luxury Retirement Village in Florida. Each story is a cat-and-mouse mystery featuring culprits who tell how they decided to commit the perfect crime and what tripped them up along the way.
    We are a readers theatre company and as such actors do not need to memorize lines or blocking, but they do need great acting chops! Any actor cast needs to become a member of our society (if not already).

    Rehearsals Tues evenings Mar 18 - Apr22, tech Apr 24

    Notes

    These plays may have strong themes, however no nudity will ever be required.

    This is a NON-EQUITY, volunteer production.

    Every two weeks we will read, briefly rehearse and perform plays privately online.

    We will cast every second Wednesday (Week 1), assign roles (rehearse Wednesday & Thursday - Week 1)
    You have a few days to work on the script (as much or as little as you choose)
    Then meet back online the following Wednesday (Week 2) for the online performance.

    Why? For fun, but also to challenge ourselves.

    Familiarize yourself with a new script, make acting choices, take direction, and network.

    Play reading series begins Wednesday March 12th - Wednesday August 6th.
