MARJORIE PRIME

February 8 at 3:00 p.m., February 9 at 5:00 p.m. at the theatre

Production Dates: April 4-6, 11-13

Directed by Clint Gill

It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie — a jumble of disparate, fading memories — has a handsome new companion who’s programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits — if any — of what technology can replace.

The audition will consist primarily of cold readings from the script. A prepared monologue is encouraged, but not required. A preliminary rehearsal schedule will be provided. Please, bring your calendar in order to check for conflicts.

(PLAYED AGE – 85)
A woman experiencing the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. She interacts with a holographic projection of her late husband, Walter Prime.

Walter Prime:
(PLAYED AGE – EARLY 30’S)
A holographic projection of Marjorie’s deceased husband, designed to assist her by retelling her memories and providing comfort.

Tess:
(PLAYED AGE – 55)
Marjorie’s daughter, who is skeptical of the Prime system and concerned about its impact on her mother.

Jon:
(PLAYED AGE – 55)
Tess’s husband and Marjorie’s son-in-law, who initially recommends the Prime program to help Marjorie cope with her mother’s death.
