Auditions for 2000 Pulitzer Prize Winning Dinner With Friends

Out Front on Main, Inc. is pleased to anounce AUDITIONS for our two year anniversary show Dinner with Friends written by David Marguiles and directed for the stage by 2011 BWW Best Director George W. Manus, Jr. Audition dates are Sunday and Monday Feb. 5-6, 2012 from 6-8p…m. The auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Out Front on Main is located at 1511 E. Main Street in historic downtown Murfreesboro beside MTSU. Info: (615) 869-8617 or www.outfrontonmain.com
Winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize. “…Margulies writes about relationships with such intelligence and spiky humor that his comedy-drama…becomes something quite wonderful.” —Time Magazine. “…wry and keenly observed and bathed in the unspoken sorrow that can sneak up on you in middle age…” —NY Times. “…full of life, warmth, laughs and wisdom…” —NY Daily News. “A breezy comedy of modern manners that turns poignant and deeply affecting by its end. Margulies touches chords that resonate with a deep affecting humanity.” —San Francisco Examiner.
The Cast: 2 Males and 2 Females aged 30-40

THE STORY: As described by New York Magazine: “Two married couples have been best friends for years. In their Connecticut home, Karen and Gabe, international food writers, are giving a dinner for Beth and Tom, which he doesn’t attend. It emerges from the heartbroken Beth that he has left her for another woman. Gabe and Karen are almost as crushed, having expected ‘to grow old and fat together, the four of us.’ When Tom shows up at his home in the next scene, late at night, he is enraged that Beth broke the news of their breakup in his absence. Late as it is, he rushes over to his friends in the next scene to present his side of the story. Act Two begins with another dinner, twelve and a half years earlier, in a summer house on Martha’s Vineyard, where Karen and Gabe are introducing Beth to Tom. Then we skip five months after the events in Act One, as Beth reveals to Karen…that she has fallen in love with an old friend whom she intends to marry…Later that day, in a Manhattan bar, Tom, a lawyer, tells Gabe about his [newfound] happiness, to which Gabe reacts sourly. Still later that night, Gabe and Karen are going to bed in the Vineyard house, and discuss the Tom-and-Beth situation, as well as their own [marriage]…clinging to it like the shipwrecked to their raft…From this already you can gather that there is skillful construction here, as well as keen psychological insight…Donald Margulies is establishing himself as one of our leading playwrights.”
Four Friends. Two Marriages. One Divorce.
