About Last Metro:
Founding members Frank XXXXX, Lovelle XXXXX and Christine XXXXX started Last Metro Company as a means to evolve as artists, exploring ways to bring a fresh perspective to plays both contemporary and classic. Equally important is carrying on the tradition of live theatre in a world where communication is faster but less personal. With over ten years of combined education at South Coast Repertory, HB Studio, Primary Stages, American Academy of Dramatic Arts and California State University at Fullerton, the founding members of Last Metro Company seek to create a community of theatre artists who are trained yet not confined, who seek personal growth and connection with others. www.lastmetrocompany.com

[ MARY ]
Mid thirties, any ethnicity. Doctor. Carries the tension of someone who grew up in another's shadow. Her mother recently took her own life, so the shadow's gone. But Mary is still tense.

[ DAVID ]
Early thirties, any ethnicity. Mary's husband. VP at a nameless software firm. Had a big exciting kick-ass plan about how this was all supposed to work. This plan should be starting any day now.

[ RICHARD ]
Mid Thirties, any ethnicity. Charismatic, intelligent, drug-dealer. David's old friend. Sports the dress and mannerism of a college professor.

[ SYLVIA ]
Late twenties, any ethnicity. Beautiful San Francisco native. Outgoing and adventurous. Trying to have the biggest life possible. (Partial Nudity required)

[ D.C. ]
Late thirties, any ethnicity. Boxer. Old school. Lives in a different San Francisco from the others.

Synopsis: Mary and David, living amidst the boxes her abused mother left behind, unpacking this small San Francisco apartment while outside, people self-actualize like crazy. (What?) When Mary herself is the victim of an unprovoked act of violence, it leads the two of them down different paths of addiction and realization, one to the violence itself, one to the abuse of cat tranquilizers. (That's a new one.) Meanwhile, Richard is a benevolent drug dealer working on his book while Sylvia wants to use the internet to double her life. ('Double her life'? As in from a D to a DD?) Four people trying to recognize the people they have become in a time that's totally F.U.B.A.R. (Sounds it.)

It always bothers me when people try so hard to make something sound a certain way - especially when they do it in a way that makes very little sense. No one is saying you have to be a brilliant copy editor - you don't have to be. All you have to do is stick to the facts: "A married couple encounter difficulties after the suicide of the wife's mother," or somesuch. Easy-peasy. No self-actualizing-recognition-both-inside-and-out involved.
