AUDITION NOTICE: Chapter Two - Spotlight Theatrical Company

Title: Chapter Two by Neil Simon

Presented By: Spotlight Theatrical Company

Genre: Comedy/Drama Play

Synopsis: George and Jennie are in love, utterly perfect for each other, and are getting married. There are just a few problems:

1. They’ve only been dating for two weeks.

2. George’s beloved wife has passed away.

3. Jennie has just gone through years of counselling which culminated in a messy divorce.

Meanwhile, George’s brother Leo and Jennie’s friend Faye have their own marital troubles—and their own questionable chemistry. With heartfelt insight and comedic flair, Neil Simon’s semi-autobiographical Chapter Two asks whether finding a soulmate can happen more than once in a lifetime.
