MORNING AFTER GRACE
Barter Stage II
by Carey Crim
Dates: February 8, 2019 to March 31, 2019
SEEKING:
OLLIE
Male. African-American (but open to any ethnicity). 68 years old. Formerly a baseball player for the Detroit Tigers who now enjoys golf and yoga. Though he’s long past his playing days, and a bit bearish in form, he retains the vague essence of an athlete. Robust, feels younger than he is. Extroverted, warm, and a bit of a gossip…

SEEKING:
GUINEVERE
Black/African American, Hispanic, Asian or Caucasian female. Mid 20s – mid 30s. Soprano. Charismatic. Beautiful. Spontaneous. Spunky. Spirited young woman soon to be queen via an arranged marriage to King Arthur. A romantic, she’s at first rebellious against the arrangement to wed a man she’s never met. Soon after meeting and wedding Arthur she falls in love with him and his righteous and imaginative intellect. But her heart and allegiance is suddenly thrown with the arrival of Lancelot. Vocal range top: A5, bottom: B3.
