SEEKING
1 F, 1 M, Understudies for all parts

TANIA DEL VALLE – (LatinX) late 20’s early 30’s; American, smart, likable, positive, passionate, highly-energized, pregnant Ph.D. candidate and gardener. Cusses like a champ in Spanish but not fluent.

PABLO DEL VALLE (LatinX)- late 20’s early 30’s; Chilean but educated in the United States; smart, likable, ambitious, savvy young attorney. (please prepare a slight dialect).

2 EXTRAS: (understudies for all roles) also play surveyors, landscapers, and building examiner, silent roles in vignettes between scenes that transform the garden. “They are the witnesses and the energetic transformers of both the play and the situation.”

---

VIRGINIA BUTLEY – (CAST)  early 50’s to mid-’60s; smart; likable, assertive, direct, no-nonsense engineer.

FRANK BUTLEY – (CAST) early 50’s to mid 60’s; smart likable, excitable, caring, detail-oriented federal employee and gardener.

 

SUMMARY
Pablo, a high-powered lawyer, and his very pregnant doctoral candidate wife, Tania, are realizing the American dream when they purchase a house next door to community stalwarts Virginia and Frank. But a disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out war of taste, class, privilege, and entitlement. The hilarious results guarantee no one comes out smelling like a
rose.
