MARCH MADNESS by Mike Vogel. Dir: Donald Brenner. 1st reh: 10/2/12. Closes 11/18.

Maury:

Mid 60s. Trade newspaper reporter – irascible, a “No BS” regular guy with a put-upon edge who is determined to escape the drudgery of his workaday life and not let the world keep him down.

Kim:

Mid 30s - late 40s. Newspaper proofreader. Her outward nervous concern for her future masks a kind woman who has led a rough life but still harbors a glimmer of hope for a better life.

Nick:

30s. Advertising sales director – well-coiffed, arrogant and hard-driving.

Kyle:

Early - mid 30s. Trade newspaper reporter – optimistic in the face of adversity; sweet and polite to a fault, but with tension brimming under the surface; a good husband and a new dad.

Herb:

40s-50s. The editorial director – a nervous, equivocating rabbit caught between an angry staff and an unreasonable, demanding boss. Determined to hold onto his job.

BODEGA BAY by Elisabeth Karlin. Dir: Sturgis Warner. 1st reh: 12/31/12. Closes 2/17/13.
