PLAY/CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:
SEX WITH STRANGERS:
By Laura Eason, directed by Genie Croft
PLAY DESCRIPTION:
How far will you go to get what you want? Will you be the same person if you finally do? When twenty-something star sex blogger and
memoirist Ethan tracks down his idol, the gifted but obscure 40s novelist Olivia, he finds they each crave what the other possesses. As
the attraction turns to sex, and they inch closer to getting what they want, both must confront the dark side of ambition and the near
impossibility of reinventing oneself when the past is only a click away.
SETTING:
Present day, at both a bed and breakfast in rural Michigan and an apartment in Chicago.
Ethan: 28, then 30. Very charismatic, sexy, fast talker, used to being the center of attention. From Chicago but has little to no specific
accent.
Olivia: 39, then 41. Smart, sexy, outwardly strong but covering some fragility. American, but spent many years living abroad. [THIS

REBORNING:
By Zayd Dohrn, directed by Keith Garsson
