Project Synopsis
Ben's ship has finally come in. He is almost guaranteed a national commercial which will allow him to finally quit his job as a server at the Bull's Eye Steakhouse. His best friend Paige would be happy for him, if it weren't for her killer hangover. His ex-Taylor is jealous at his good fortune, as she is still stuck in her unfulfilling career, and her floundering love life. Life throws Ben a curve-ball and all three end up working on a dreaded Sunday night. The boss is on their case because head office is in restaurant doing a corporate evaluation, the bartender might be a Danish spy, and worst of all the theatre club is in for dinner and they brought their coupons! Will anyone survive the night?
Additional Information & Safety Protocols: 

The audition will consist of a cold read of a selected scenes from the script and paired up with a scene partner.

This is part of the Siloam Festival, a 10 day event from July 18-27 featuring original works from local playwrights hosted by the Langley Little Theatre.
