MARJORIE PRIME - DIRECTOR RAY FLYNT

Auditions Sunday March 1 and Monday March 2

Show Dates April 23 - May 3

Auditioners will read scenes from the play. Everyone is welcome. Prior experience is not required. The first rehearsal will be a read-through on Wednesday, March 4^th, with three or four rehearsals each week before the show opens.

MARJORIE PRIME is a contemporary drama set in the near future (2062). Marjorie is 85 years old, has memory issues, and lives with her daughter and son-in-law, Tess and Jon. It is a time when AI enables holographic companions of loved ones known as Primes. Marjorie chose a Prime of her late-husband, Walter, when he was 30 years old. Although it would be easy to classify this as science fiction, we will focus on what the play says about our relationships, the role of memory, and what it means to be human.

There are four characters – all meaty roles:

MARJORIE (85) She was once a concert violinist, had a quick wit, exacting standards, and enjoyed flirting with men. She and Walter had two children, Damian and Tessa. During the play we learn that Damian tragically committed suicide at age 13, an event that altered the trajectory of Marjorie’s life. In the second half of the play, Marjorie becomes a “Prime” and interacts with her daughter and son-in-law.

WALTER (30) He and Marjorie were married for more than fifty years. He was eleven years older than her and died a decade earlier. Walter is a 30-year-old hologram of his former self and learns based on interactions with people. What he knows about his life comes from what Marjorie and the other characters tell him. At times, Walter sits dormant at the perimeter of the stage.

TESS (55) She is the youngest daughter of Marjorie and Walter. She and Jon met in college, have been married for 29 years, and have three children. Tess mistrusts the concept behind the Primes, but she is also a troubled soul. As the play unfolds, we learn how much of her relationship with her mother was affected by the suicide of Tess’s brother when she was only 10. Relations with her 23-year-old daughter are also strained. In the penultimate scene, Tess has died and comes back as a Prime.  

JON (55) Jon is an optimist at heart; the type of guy who takes events as they happen and rolls with the punches. He enjoys a playful relationship with Marjorie and tries his best to be an antidote when Tess is down. Jon is intrigued by the technology behind the Primes and embraces it, although the playwright has him cast doubt near the end of the play. He is the only character that remains human throughout.
