City of Trees is an original contemporary play set in a Midtown Sacramento diner. We are looking to fill two lead male roles. Auditions are on March 23. Rehearsals and performances are scheduled for Summer 2019.

• In this modern American dramedy, an expecting couple returns to the wife’s hometown of Sacramento to help save her father's beloved but struggling diner, City of Trees. With impending parenthood and the threat of a livelihood coming to an end, old friends and strained relatives attempt to work together through their differing ideals. Each character navigates their dark past, and the—at times flawed, at times comedic—projections they place on one another. Their definitions of family, identity, mental health, and success unravel as they learn to face their roots in order to move forward.

Synopsis:

Connection depicts the turbulent relationship between Alex, a high school girl, and her grandfather, John, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s two years ago. When Alex first experiences John’s memory loss and deterioration on her own, she gets so annoyed by his repetitive questions that she runs out of the house, leaving him to fend for himself, confused and hopeless. John loses himself in the cold winter, and Alex returns home to an empty house. On this winter evening, she must realize the importance of family and her responsibility to take care of her grandfather, remembering that he had done the same for her when she was a child.

Character Bio:

John [Gender: Male] [Age: 65~75]                                                                                       

John has become much more sensitive over the past two years, and the thought that Alex will leave home for college one day always makes him tear up. John loves taking a walk in the park after lunch, however, his family doesn’t let him go out by himself after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. He now spends most of his days at home reading books, forgetting what he’s read, wandering around the house, and looking outside the window. Sometimes he’ll have a lucid moment and blame himself for not remembering anything, but he’ll also forget this moment very soon.
