Perfect Arrangement
STUDIO 400 - Mature Themes and Language
Directed by Renee Jordan // January 30 - February 8, 2026 (Auditions December 1-2, 2025)
Beneath the pristine surface of 1950s suburbia, two U.S. government employees are hiding a secret—and each other. In Perfect Arrangement, Topher Payne blends quick-witted comedy with sharp social commentary as two seemingly traditional couples struggle to keep up appearances while navigating the threat of the Lavender Scare. As the walls close in, farce turns to revelation in this bold, stylish play about identity, conformity, and the high cost of living a lie.

About Auditions:
The sides will consist of scenes from the play that require good comedic timing and some will have the moments of realness between the couples when the 'lights are not shining' on them.
Looking for:
Bob Martindale (30-40s)- A WWII veteran, reserved. A bit bookish but a solid man's man. Good humored and well mannered.
Millie Martindale (late 20-30s)- Bob's wife. Plays "the dizzy wife" when people are in the house, but is actually very quick-witted and observant. Smart enough to maintain the act.
Norma Baxter (30s)- The knowing, efficient, classy dame. A secretary at the State Department who could just as easily be Secretary of State. A wise woman who's great with a wisecrack and level-headed in a bind.
Jim Baxter (20s-30s)- Norma's husband. A prankster type, always ready with a comeback. A high school teacher with lots of energy. A little wired, good with a plan.
Theodore Sunderson (40-50s)- The boss. Bombastic, loud, a bit overbearing. A patriotic windbag.
Kitty Sunderson (40s)- Ted's wife. Legitimately ditzy. Her brain seems to work on a totally different wavelength than the rest of the world. Very sweet, and very genuine. Just doesn't quite "get it.”
Barbara Grant (40s)- A formidable opponent. No-nonsense, beautiful, brilliant, and a little scary.
