A Co-production with Dallas Theater Center (LORT D).

Actors of all ethnicities, and gender identities are encouraged to audition.

We will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. Let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide (Language developed by Kevin Kantor and Emily Tarquin from the Actors Theatre of Louisville).

SYNOPSIS: Kenneth lives in a small town in upstate New York. By day, he works at a local bookstore - by night, he sips mai tais at his favorite bar with his best friend Bert. But when Kenneth is unexpectedly laid off, the quiet life he knows is thrown into a tailspin, as he sets out on a journey of self-discovery. Courage gives way to transformation in this story about old friends, new beginnings, and the good in being there for one another.

SEEKING:

KENNETH - he/him. Black. Late 30s. An average, yet sensitive, guy with an incredibly deep emotional well and a rich imagination. Has lived in a small town his whole life. Daily routines keep him going - though this comes from years of engrained coping mechanisms. Spends his days working at the local bookstore, and his evenings at happy hour with his best friend, Bert. Desires a life bigger than the one he is living but fears the unknown. Deeply craves real connection with not a clue how to achieve it or recognize when it might be right in front of him.

BERT - he/him. Black. Early 40s. Kenneth’s best and only friend, his biggest cheerleader and comfort. A family man with a good heart and a calming demeanor. Solid and steady. Has a practical way of looking at the world. Highly attuned to people’s needs. Warm, non-judgmental, and encouraging.

CORRINA/WALLY’S WAITER/BANK CUSTOMERS - CAST. she/her. Black. Late 30s-Early 40s. - CORRINA: A smart and confident waitress at the local tiki bar who befriends Kenneth. Open-hearted and willing. Marches to the beat of her own drum. Great sense of humor. - WALLY'S WAITER/BANK CUSTOMERS: Doubles as a rotating ensemble of waiters and bank customers with distinct personalities with range and comic instincts.

CLAY/SAM/LE POUSSELET BARTENDER - he/him. White. 50s-60s. - SAM: Gruff, chain-smoking owner of the local bookstore. Grizzly, but tender. Sailor mouth. - CLAY: Manager at Primary Trust Bank. Former college football champion. Worries that his best days are behind him. - LE POUSSELET BARTENDER: A posh bartender at a bougie establishment.
