AUDITIONS – PERFECT ARRANGEMENT – 8/4 & 8/5 at 7pm
Perfect Arrangement
By Topher Payne
Directed by Sydnie Grosberg Ronga
AUDITIONS: AUG 4 & 5, 2024 | 7pm
It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: both Bob and Norma are involved in a carefully constructed cover-up.
Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the gay rights movement, Perfect Arrangement merges madcap sitcom-style laughs with provocative drama as two U.S. State Department employees struggle to maintain their cover – and their sanity – in mid-century America.
Setting: Washington DC, 1950

Millie Martindale – late 20s/early 30s – Bob’s wife – Plays 50s housewife for others but is quick witted, observant and very smart.
