EXECUTION OF JUSTICE

Tier 3

SEEKING:

TOM NORMAN -- Older, a bit broken down. Prosecuting attorney. Middle-aged.
DOUG SCHMIDT -- Young, thrilling defense attorney. In his 40's. Puts on a dazzling defense.

DA FREITAS -- Young middle age. A rising star in the progressive side of the city. Charismatic. Long monologue in center of the play. ANY RACE OR ETHNICITY. Doubles as Moscone's Friend, Inspector Erdelatz, and Dr. Levy.
FRANK FALZON -- friend to Dan White, Chief Inspector of Homicide. 40-50. Doubles as The Cop, Juror #3, William Melia, Dolson and JURY FOREMAN (on mic)

Tier 1

NOTE: Because Chautauqua Theater Company will not be far enough along in the planning process for these new play workshops by the date of our EPAs, we are unable to include titles and breakdowns. These developmental projects depend heavily on the availability of playwrights, whose schedules and readiness to commit cannot be finalized until closer to the summer season. We can guarantee that there will be Equity roles in all three NPWs, and thank the membership for their patience.
