AUDITIONS

Directed by Janet Sales
Stage Manager - Samantha Silver

John Smith, a taxi driver, is having a very bad morning. You see, while juggling two wives he intervenes in a mugging, gets bonked on the head, gives the wrong address at the hospital, and ends up with one wife when he's supposed to be with the other. His story gets madder and funnier as it goes along, involving two police inspectors, a photographer, a gay neighbor, another John Smith, a farmer, a nonexistent son, a nun, a maid, and a transvestite named Lofty. All this with only seven actors, in a farce full of split-second timing, and a lot of laughs.

Originally set in England, this production will be set in New York.
(No British accents)
