Table read - a job post by Derek Dean

About the job

Hello, my name is Derek Dean. I moved from Jersey City to Fresno.I am  looking to get my feet on the ground with a play I've been working on. It might lead to something, it might not. But, I'm hoping to meet some people in theater and film, work on this project and in the future, maybe one of there's. We can meet in my community building and do the reads. 

The script I want to read now is actually two plays, but the same one. One, where the lead male and female characters are flipped. In the first version, the male is a doctor, and the wife is a stay at home wife, in the second version, she's the doctor and he's the stay at home husband. 

The play has four characters, 

Paul - 50-60's 

Vivian - 50's - 60's.

Kathy - 30's

Roger - 30's.

The play itself is a relationship drama. It's not a screaming, yelling fighting piece. It's intelligent, it's seeing both sides, and it slowly reveals a three decade of relationship over the course of the play. The play itself is being looked at and transcribed and might go up in Berlin, and the same person doing all the German stuff, might come here and make a film version. That is all far off, so, I want to mention it, but mainly focus on table reads and meeting people who are working on things where we can help each other and give feedback.
