The Tin Woman
Location: San Diego, CA
Type: Theater
Auditions for THE TIN WOMAN by Sean Grennan and Directed by Rob Conway.
What if we owed our survival to more than just our parents? If our existences cost the lives of others, would we make the most of the time we have, or be crippled by guilt? The Tin Woman is a brand-new play that reveals the life of a woman who tracks down the family of her late heart transplant donor. Doubts, shame and humanity meld together to crate a bittersweet tale, equal parts funny, moving and honest. This inspiring, dramatically resonant comedic drama will steal your heart and restore your faith in second chances.
“Full of laughter and light even in the darkest moments.” — Erin Hunsader, Door County Advocate

“Loaded with questions, answers, dilemmas and paradoxes — the stuff of humanity. Nearby is humor forged of fire.” — Warren Gerds, wearegreenbay.com

All roles are available:
JOY (30’s, female) – Joy has received a life-saving heart transplant but is conflicted about what to do now. Smart, sometimes sarcastic and forthright, rudderless with her new lease on life. Even though she is experiencing depression, she has a spark to survive and connect.
JACK (30’s, male) – an accountant with aspirations of being a professional photographer. Jack is dead at the outset, but nonetheless appears throughout the show. He contributes greatly to the show even though he does not speak in many scenes. He’s a memory that lingers.
ALICE (60’s, female) – Jack’s mother. She’s a solid, loving, enduring presence. She knows her husband and is aware of what he’s going through. A big heart that is dealing with its own pain while trying to hold the family together and do the right thing.
HANK (60’s, male) – Jack’s father. Hank is pushing forward, trying very hard not to wallow in or even barely acknowledge his grief and guilt. He can be irritable, abrupt and lately has been drinking more than he ought. He believes he’s handling things just fine, but a lot of emotions are turning under the surface.
SAMMY (20’s-30’s, female) – a preschool teacher and Jack’s younger sister. She’s somewhat “new age-y” but with an enormous heart. Wants to help anyone she can. She can give in too easily to her emotions but of everyone, she is the most in touch with them. Can cry in any moving moment.
DARLA (30-40’s, female) – Joy’s best friend. Darla is somewhat flamboyant, artsy, very caring for Joy. A singular soul in habit and dress. She worries about and wants the best for her friend.
NURSE (any age, female) – Nurse is very competent if a bit annoying in her approach. She’s by the book in all things, but – probably because she is so busy – can sometimes condescend. (Only in scene 1, this role may be played by the same actress as Darla, or a stage manager).
