Now Casting: Lips Together, Teeth Apart by Terrence McNally
The New Conservatory Theatre Center is pleased to announce casting for the San Francisco Premiere of Lips Together, Teeth Apart by Terrence McNally directed by Dennis Lickteig.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
It is the 4th of July and a gay community on Fire Island provides an unlikely backdrop for two heterosexual couples who are observed poolside. With gay men partying in the houses surrounding them, the four characters divert themselves with food, cocktails, fireworks, charades and biting jabs at each other. Even the boys next door aren’t safe.
Casting the following roles (Non-AEA ONLY): All characters are late 30’s to 40’s.
Sam Truman (Male) A self-employed businessman as a Building Contractor from New Jersey. Although there is not any nudity in front of the audience, Sam must take a full shower on stage and step out onstage with a towel wrapped around his waist.
Sally Truman (Female) Sam’s Wife. Sally has had more than one miscarriage and they do not have children.
John Haddock (Male) Head of admissions at a boy’s prep school. He has had an affair with Sally Truman. There is a physical fight between John, Sam ... and the onstage pool. Some experience with minimal stage hand-to-hand combat would be ideal for either/both men.
Chloe Haddock (Female) John’s wife, Sam’s older sister. Chloe must be able to speak French with ease and able to sing a cappella (well) and be familiar with American Musical Theatre scores. She sings throughout the play without the help of a pitch-pipe or musical introduction.
