Light Sensitive by Jim Geoghan Auditions:

Sunday, October 12 and Monday, October 13 at 7pm

The Story:

Light Sensitive by Jim Geoghan is a touching romantic comedy about Tom, a bitter blind ex-cabbie, whose world changes when Edna, a spirited volunteer who comes to read to him, enters his life. With the help of his brash friend Lou, the unlikely trio discovers humor, healing, and the power of unexpected love.

Characters:

  • Tom (40-60) A blind, bitter ex-cabbie whose rough exterior hides a longing for connection.
  • Lou (35-55) Tom’s brash, wisecracking best friend who masks loyalty with humor.
  • Edna (35-55) A spirited volunteer whose warmth and persistence bring light into Tom’s life.

The age range of the characters are suggestions. The age of the actor isn’t as important as the ability to embody the character.

Sides are available to be read ahead of time. Please email Rick Flynn.
