Hate Mail Audition Notice

As theater-makers, we hold ourselves accountable to practices that will ensure that Pegasus Theatre is an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and actively anti-racist organization, both on-stage and off.

The Story:

When Preston writes a furious letter to a store demanding a refund for a broken snow globe, he gets Assistant Manager Dahlia fired—and finds a vengeful epistolary match. In this wickedly funny alternative to “Love Letters”, the two embark on an epic, often acrimonious, correspondence as their lives intertwine.

AVAILABLE ROLES:

Preston.......... Any ethnicity. 20 to 40. Male. A spoiled rich kid used to getting what he wants.

Dahlia............. Any ethnicity. 20 to 40. Female. An angst-filled artist.
