We are seeking three strong actors:
TOM – 40’s, male – any ethnicity. The attractive junior senator from Virginia, Tom is a Republican politician on the rise. He is devoted to his wife and family. He is a good man. His wife, Lisa, is an openly committed Christian, but Tom has very much questioned his beliefs of late. When long-time friend Matt visits with news that Tom is a top pick as a running mate to the conservative Republican presidential nominee, Tom is forced to struggle with how vocal or not vocal to be about a God he’s no longer sure he believes in.
LISA – 40’s, female – any ethnicity. Married to Virginia junior senator, Tom. She is committed to her husband, her family, and, most importantly, her Christian faith and beliefs. She is vocal and open about her faith, and will pray openly. It is all
genuine. She is not a phony. She is kind, smart and thoughtful. She is supportive and encouraging of Tom’s career, but struggles when the opportunity arises for
Tom to consider being a running mate to the likely Republican presidential nominee.
MATT – 40’s, male – any ethnicity. Tom and Lisa’s longtime best friend. Matt, a committed conservative, works for the Republican presidential nominee. Matt is also openly gay. Matt is tasked with convincing Tom to consider being the nominee’s vice presidential running mate. Specifically, he is tasked with asking that Tom, should he take the job, be more open and vocal about God, and a faith that Tom doesn’t actually have. Matt is a good guy. He is confident, smart and very good at his job. He also manages to live very comfortably in what would seem to be two different worlds. But for him, his political beliefs and his sexuality are not at odds. He is content with who he is, and what he believes in.
PLOT SUMMARY:
Tom is an attractive junior Republican Senator from Virginia, a rising star who is lately questioning his beliefs. His wife Lisa is committed to her husband, her family and most importantly her Christian faith and beliefs. When their long-time best friend, Matt, an openly gay conservative approaches Tom with the opportunity of a lifetime, Tom faces a crisis of conviction while his marriage hangs precariously in the balance. The God Game is a play about faith and politics, marriage and friendship, choices and consequences.
Rehearsals begin in late September for production dates October 19-21, 26-28 and November 2-4.
