Tryouts

Competition, stress, excitement and jealously are but a few of the emotions these characters share as they all undergo the pressure of "trying out." Susan is bringing home a serious boyfriend for the first time, and her teenage daughter feels like she's trying out a new dad. Megan figures the lead in the school play is hers as a senior drama student until Tasha, a hotshot sophomore, shows up for tryouts. Brandon really wants a job at the burger joint where his best friend works, but is he ready for the rigors of a job interview? His friend Erik doesn't think so and tries to help him prepare. Finally, Ann is upset about not making the varsity soccer squad, but is having trouble getting sympathy from her big sister Julie, who is nervously waiting to hear if she made homecoming court. Filled with humor and pathos, these four one-act gems connect thematically into a beautiful production. Performance time: 70 minutes.
