“Perfect Arrangement" It's 1950, Washington D.C., and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There's just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other's partners (Millie and Jim) as a carefully constructed cover.
Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sit-com style laughs give way to provocative drama as two "All-American" couples are forced to stare down the closet door.
Bob Martindale - 30s-40s. A WWII veteran, reserved. A State Department apparatchik. A bit bookish, but a solid man's man. Good-humored and well mannered.
Millie Martindale - late 20s-30s. Bob's wife. Plays "the ditzy wife' when other people are in the house, but actually very quick-witted and observant. Smart enough to maintain the act.
Norma Baxter - 30s. The knowing, efficient, classy dame. A secretary at the State Department who could just as easily be Secretary of State. A discerning woman who's great with a wisecrack and level-headed in a bind.
Jim Baxter - 20s-30s. Norma's husband. A prankster type, always ready with a comeback. A high school teacher with lots of energy. A little wired, good with a plan.
Theodore Sunderson - 40s-50s. The boss at State. Bombastic, loud, a bit overbearing. A patriotic windbag.
Kitty Sunderson - 40s. Ted's wife. Legitimately ditzy. Her brain seems to work on a totally different wavelength than the rest of the world. Very sweet and very genuine; just doesn't quite "get it."
Barbara Grant - 40s. A formidable opponent. No-nonsense, beautiful, brilliant and a little scary.
Auditions will consist of readings from the script and a prepared monologue (a comedy bit - ya know, tell me a joke or a short funny story).
Ages listed are ideals, signposts, not requirements.
