The newly revitalized Masquers Playhouse in Point Richmond is pleased to announce auditions for its upcoming production of:
ROCKET MAN
by Steven Dietz
directed by Jacquie Duckworth
To be performed live and on stage!
Summary
Donny Rowan has placed everything he owns on his front lawn, along with a sign that reads: “Here’s my life. Make an offer.” He has cut a skylight into his attic and placed his E-Z Boy recliner underneath—where he can sit, staring at the stars envisioning the place in the universe where all the roads we never chose converge. Rocket Man explores one man’s obsessive desire to find this “parallel world” and the profound effect of his decision on his family and friends.
