SHE

A New Play by Kimberly Demmary

Directed by Jolyn Johnson

May 24 – June 16, 2024

SHE is the story of a Victorian House in San Francisco and the 4 incredible women who live there in the 60's, 90's, 2002, and present-day. The women, while not knowing each other personally, are connected through the house and their experiences. Each one is dealing with her own demons, relationships, reflections, and newfound strength. As their stories unfold and we learn more about Mrs. V, Adora, Nadine, and Victoria's lives we ultimately learn about the power of moving on. Love, loss, and self-discovery, all unfolding with the light of San Francisco shining in the background helping them along the way. Audition dates are, April 14th and 15th at 7 PM, with callbacks on the 16th at 7 PM (if needed)

She (any age, female-presenting): She is the heart, soul, and voice of the house. She not only guides us through the various decades but experiences it herself. She has wisdom to her as well as deep lived-in experiences that have shaped her. She is timeless.

Maddy VanAllen (60s-70s, female-presenting): A widow living in 1962. Feisty, but beginning to show signs of frailty and depression. She and her husband Jimmy owned and ran VanAllen's Emporium together, and she has a soft spot for her employees – especially Robert and Trish.

Robert (30s, male-presenting): Uptight, reserved manager at the Emporium who takes life a little bit too seriously sometimes, but he's got a huge crush on Trish. Deeply respects Maddy.

Trish (20s, female-presenting): Comes across as very sweet but can be just as spunky and feisty as Maddy. The opposite of Robert, so of course she's got a crush on him. Also works at the Emporium.

Adora (30s, female-presenting): A shy, quirky, socially awkward lesbian living in the early 1990's who is attached to her deceased grandmother Babette. She's only just beginning to come out, and Toni is her first huge step.

Babette (70s-80s, female-presenting): Adora's deceased grandmother who still "talks" to her at times. Has old-world ideals and manners. Strict, loving, and funny. French accent.

Toni (30s, female-presenting): Introverted and sometimes clumsy lesbian, though she has been out longer than Adora. Can be just as socially awkward as her, though, especially on their dates.

Nadine (late 20s, female-presenting): Stubborn and yet naïve woman (at times) who absolutely loves her boyfriend and moved to be with him. Living in 2002. Has rural roots and a foul mouth. Southern accent.

Victoria (ageless, female-presenting): A vampire living in the present day. Has an otherworldly quality to her and a dysfunctional relationship with her creator. Wants to be badass but isn't sure how to move on yet.
