Closer Audition Form

Closer begins with a chance encounter between two strangers and grows into an intimate exploration of four people whose lives become increasingly entangled over several years. Attraction becomes love, love becomes possession, and curiosity becomes interrogation as each asks the people closest to them for the one thing they may not actually be prepared to receive: the truth.

Set in 1990s London, Patrick Marber’s play is less interested in who cheated on whom than in what we believe intimacy entitles us to know about another person. These characters lie, confess, provoke, forgive, wound and reach for one another, often in the same breath, revealing the complicated distance between looking at someone and truly seeing them. How close can we really get to another person, and how much of them belongs to us once we do?

Closer contains explicit sexual conversations, sexual tension between multiple characters, implied sexual activity, innuendo, and adult language, as well as themes of infidelity, kinks, power dynamics and adult entertainment.

The production includes sexualized posing and partial undressing, along with choreographed physical aggression. The character of ALICE may explore top nudity in one scene; however, nudity will not be a requirement of the role or a condition of casting. There is also the implication of the revealing of genitalia. The character of LARRY features a brief simulated moment of self-stimulation.

All staged intimacy and fights will be choreographed and rehearsed with a qualified intimacy director and fight personnel in accordance with consent-based practices. There will be no intimacy, nudity, partial undress or physical aggression required during auditions or callbacks.

Adult and Youth casts

Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha before they stumble upon the body themselves, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor, they killed him! Between his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine, a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and another brother using plastic surgery to hide from the police – not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage – it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding. Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic dark comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.

At a traditional Catholic school in the Bronx, 1964, the rigid principal Sister Aloysius – feared by students and colleagues alike – has her suspicions that Father Flynn is abusing a vulnerable pupil. Without proof, she is forced to take matters into her own hands. As the elements of her investigation come together, Sister Aloysius is forced to wrestle with what’s fact, what’s fiction and just how far she’ll go to expose what she sees as the truth. This gripping story poses fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty and absolute conviction.

SYNOPSIS: Sarah and her father, Paul, have fled NYC and are hiding in plain sight as Mary and Paul Tate in upstate, NY. It’s eight years after the successful January 6th insurrection and anyone who isn’t White and Christian has fled the country or been “disappeared.” They’ve almost made it through their first year when, late one night, an ancient, Yiddish-speaking woman is deposited on their doorstep with a note, “It’s your turn to hide her. Good luck.” They must grapple with whether to protect her or turn her in and save themselves.

AVAILBLE ROLES: SARAH — 17. Called MARY in hiding. A high school senior. Brilliant, passionate and desperate. Needs a future to believe in. Reveres her dangerously outspoken mother. PAUL — Her father. A sweet, peaceful, gentle man, challenged by circumstances beyond his imagining. He’s lost his wife, his home, his work, and will do anything to keep his daughter safe. JOHN — 17. Her boyfriend. A high school senior who has almost never left his tiny town and is expected to take over the family farm. Bright and curious and torn between his role as inspector and his love for Mary.

A no-holds-barred look at privilege, power, and the perils of hypocrisy.
