Re: Mrs. Whitney/AEA Self Submit

About the play: This quirky, witty and acerbic comedy is a candid portrait of a 60-year old woman with an idiosyncratic sense of romance. Mrs. Whitney seeks a cure for loneliness by tracking down her ne’er-do-well ex-husband, an irresponsible mess she kicked out over 20 years ago, sending her on an odyssey of surprising and sharply-funny encounters.

Note: The playwright will be attending the auditions

Seeking:

Margaret Whitney:

Caucasian Female, mid 50s to early 60s. A self-described romantic, though her outlook (and humor) is wry. While she remains the same attractive woman she was in her 20's, she has grown lonely, and sets off to find her ex-husband, 25 years-estranged.

Tom Whitney:

Caucasian Male, late 50s - early 60s. Mrs. Whitney’s ex-husband. A self-destructive alcoholic who relies on his humor and charisma to get by. He is in the process of actively alienating his fifth wife when Margaret, his first and best, shows up.
