Jonah
by Rachel Bonds
Director TBA
Scheduled Show Dates: March 14, 2021 – April 18, 2021
Possible Ext. Close: May 16, 2021
Setting:
A series of bedrooms: a boarding school dorm room, a bedroom in a suburban-but-not-too-far from- Detroit house, a college dorm room, a bedroom at an artists’ retreat somewhere in the woods. The first two scenes with Jonah exist outside, but near, the boarding school dorm room. The setting there could feel only half-realized, half-imagined, still taking shape or coming into view. I imagine by the third scene the sense of place could snap into focus.
Seeking:
ANA – ages 16 through 30’s or early 40
JONAH – 17
DANNY – ages 17 through early 20s
STEVEN – 30s or early 40
