The Sherman Playhouse is seeking four women and one man ages 40 to 55 for its summer comedy, THE SUPPORTING CAST, by George Furth.
In THE SUPPORTING CAST, the wife of a successful author has written her own book about friends who are spouses of celebrities and what it is like to be married to "somebody famous." She invites them to her house on the beach in Malibu to let them read advance copies and to break the news to them gently that the book holds nothing back. The whole bunch gets even more out of
control when they actually read the tell-all book to discover it truly does "tell all." But when the news arrives that the book has already been optioned to be made into a movie, they change their tune, brimming with excitement about which star will play them in the film.
THE SUPPORTING CAST is under the direction of John Taylor of Sherman.
