Callbacks if needed will be by invitation only, and will be held on Thursday , January 30 at 7 pm.  Auditioners will audition privately and in small groups of up to 6.

 

Marjorie Prime will open Friday, March 28, 2025 and will run for 3 weekends until Sunday, April 13, 2025.

About the Show

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 new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits — if any — of what technology can replace.

Notes for Auditioners

It is recommended but not required that those interested in auditioning should prepare a one to two minute contemporary dramatic monologue.  Anyone with questions about monologues should contact PM&L Managing Director Adam Armstrong
Callbacks: Actors who are asked to come to callbacks will participate in cold readings, and will be given specific scenes to prepare for.
Rehearsals:  The rehearsal schedule will be created based on actor availability.  Please be ready to list conflicts.  Looking to schedule rehearsals Monday-Thursday evenings and possibly Sunday evenings.
