THE STORY: August, 1949. A fascinatingly realistic picture of routine cases brought into a bustling metropolitan police station in the course of an evening. Out of the welter of human misery, vice and foolishness there emerges the moving case of a decent young man who has stolen money from his employer; a hardened criminal dragging his young friend down with him; a lawless NJ “gardener” with a corrupt lawyer; and others. In the throes of the tumult is Detective McLeod — a man whose black & white vision of justice will be challenged by the woman he loves most: his wife. A cast of 22 men and women will bring this drama of truth and consequences to life on the stage.

Sides from the script will be provided for cold readings at the audition and posted on our website. Familiarity with the script is encouraged. There are no appointments necessary; actors will be seen on a first come/first served basis. Bring pix & résumés, stapled together. This is a non-union production. There is no pay/no fee.
