A romantic comedy set in a Magritte painting -- about fighting the dirt in your life, finding your true love at any age, and the quest for the perfect joke.  Housecleaning and joke telling take on new levels of meaning in the lives of four extraordinary women.  Matilde, the maid who hates to clean, is on a mission to find the perfect joke that leads to the transformation of the household and the conclusion that the best things in life are infinitely worth waiting for.

Director Rob Pherson is looking for four women and one man.

Audition dates:
     Monday, August 18th at 7:30pm.
Wednesday, August 20th at 7:30pm.

Show dates are Nov. 7th - Nov. 23rd, 2008.

Casting:
Lane - a doctor in her early 50's. Believes that she can control events in her life. Her house is a reflection of that belief.

Matilde - Lane's cleaning woman. Late 20's. Brazilian. She has a refined sense of the deadpan.

Virginia - Lane's older sister. Seemingly obsessed with neatness and cleaning.

Ana - 67 years old. Argentinean. Impossibly charismatic.

Charles - Lane's husband. 50's. A surgeon, but rather childlike.

Ana and Matilde should at least appear Hispanic. During the play, Ana speaks mostly English with a little Spanish; Matilde, mostly English with a little Portuguese.

Ana and Charles should be able to dance a little. Auditioners should be prepared to read from the script and to tell a good joke. Both will be provided at the audition.
