I recieved a callback for a show called “Blue Sky Somewhere”, a new play in the Manhattan Repertory Theatre’s fall play festival. The director is Heather Lanza and the show is October 14, 15, 16. It’s down to me and two other guys. Keeping my fingers crossed. Inspired by themes of Eupides’ The Trojan Women, Blue Sky Somewhere approaches present day questions and crises through an interpersonal vantage point, exploring the leverage of hope against all the odds. I’m being considered for the role of Wally, a town boy who works at a lumber yard with aspirations of being assistant manager. He is head-over-heels in love with Lindsey, despite her unwavering resistance. His earnestness and simplicity of spirit is easily interpreted as hapless. He is very wise in his own down home, unassuming way; and a poet at heart.
