auditioning for Theresa, Tony, or Les, are highly encouraged to read the  
script beforehand. >Synopsis: Theresa Bedell is a successful reporter in  
New York who loves her work and the life she has made for herself. A  
relationship with a man would complete the picture and so she agrees to go  
on a blind date with a friend of a friend. Tony is attractive and funny,  
but Theresa isn't sure, and after a second date she's convinced they have  
nothing in common and sees no point in continuing the relationship. Tony,  
though, thinks otherwise. What at first seems like persistence on his part  
grows into obsession, and Theresa's annoyance with Tony turns to terror as  
he begins to threaten her and those around her. Ultimately, Theresa must  
fight to save herself from being erased by Tony's actions.

The production runs October 18th to November 3rd 2019.
