"A Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy, hilariously mixed
with some tragedy."
Roles for 4 women and 2 men aged 22 - 35. You will
be reading from the script - no monologue prep
required. The characters are from Mississippi.
Performances for Crimes of the Heart will be
September 9 - 26 at The Charleston Acting Studio.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Crimes of the Heart is the sharply funny Pulitzer
Prize-winning and Tony-nominated play about the
sometimes-frayed edges of sisterly bonds. Warm-
hearted, irreverent, zany, and brilliantly imaginative,
this play teems with humanity and humor as it
examines the plight of three young Mississippi
sisters betrayed by their passions.
Meet the Cast....
The Magrath sisters:
- Babe, the young wife of a senator who has just
shot her husband because she "doesn't like his
looks." We find out there's much more to the crime
than that.
- Meg, the middle daughter, an actress and
nightclub singer who returns to Hazelhurst after
trying and failing to make her way in California.
- Lenny, the oldest sister - and a charter member of
the Lonely Hearts Club of the South. She's the one
whose sense of duty kept her at the family home
taking care of "old Granddaddy".
- Their cousin Chick, who lives next door. She's a
social-climbing busybody who couldn't be more
mortified to be related to the Magrath girls.
The men...
- Barnette Lloyd, who is just out of law school, and
takes on Babe's case for shooting her husband for
a couple of very good, personal reasons.
- And finally there's Doc Porter, Meg's high school
sweetheart, who, although now married to someone
else, still has unfinished business with Meg.
"While this play overflows with hilarity and infectious
high spirits, it is also, unmistakably, the tale of a
very troubled family. Such is Miss Henley's
prodigious talent that she can serve us pain as
though it were a piece of cake." —NY Times.

Mr. Green, an elderly, retired dry cleaner, wanders
into traffic on New York's Upper West Side and is
almost hit by a car driven by Ross Gardiner, a 29-
year old corporate executive. The young man is
charged with reckless driving and given the
community service sentence of helping Mr. Green
once a week for six months. The play starts out as a
comedy about two men who do not want to be in the
same room together, but turns into a gripping and
moving drama as the men get to know and care for
each other, opening old wounds they have been
hiding for years.
