DEADLINE TO SUBMIT:
MARCH 1
Three Jewish widows meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husbands’ graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life; Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun; and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets the widows while visiting his wife’s grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida. They are guilt-stricken when this nearly breaks Ida’s heart.
AUDITIONS
MARCH 3 AT 7:45pm
ROLES AVAILABLE
The Characters (all in their 50s to 70s)
Ida (Female) – Diplomatic, friendly, modest, well-mannered and well adjusted. She had a close and happy relationship with her late husband. Ida is a nurturing and sweet person- but she delivers her share of wisecracks. She is ready to move on to find male companionship again.
Lucille (Female)- Outrageous, funny and extroverted. Lucille is a feisty girl with a big personality who just wants to have fun. Although she often provides comic relief and competes for attention from men, she also hides her heartache which she covers up with humor.
Doris (Female)- Conservative, judgmental and reluctant to change. She still lives for her late husband, although he has been dead for four years. Sensitive and sometimes defensive, Doris disapproves of her friends who are trying to find love again- but values their friendship and shared bond.
Sam (Male)- The neighborhood butcher, a widower. He is easy-going, a thoroughly nice person, and a people-pleaser. Sam loved his late wife, but he is lonely and wants to have female companionship again.
Mildred (Female). Sam’s unexpected date for a wedding party is attending along with three widowed friends. She is chatty, intrusive and totally out of sync with the other three women- and with Sam too. Mildred appears on only one scene
