The play opens with a 20 – 25 min monologue. This is a wonderful challenge for actor and director.

About The Play:

When Kyle’s wife Zoe is murdered, he barricades himself by devoting himself more feverishly to his work and losing himself in loveless sex. TOUCH is about a man in despair questioning whether there is any point to rediscovering passion, risking connection, groping toward the touch that will rekindle joy.

“…a gripping, heart-wrenching, tender drama whose scenes shift seamlessly, character to character, past to present.” —NY Times. “So often these days, theater aspires to nothing more than sheer escapism. But now and then, a deeply touching play comes along. TOUCH is one of those.” —Miami Herald. “Toni Press-Coffman’s play celebrates the beauty of survival with eloquence and grace.” —Portland Oregonian.

Characters:

Kyle Kalke, an astronomer in his late 20s. A science “nerd’ – quiet but passionate.

Bennie Locasto, a doctor in his late 20s. Kyle best friend. Also a science “nerd” but more outgoing and quick to make a joke.

Serena, Kyle’s sister-in-law in her 30s. A strong, intelligent woman.

Kathleen a prostitute about 35. Hard but no so hard that her humanity can’t be reached.

Auditions will be cold readings from the script.
