Albi Gorn
YOU CAN READ THE SCRIPT www.albigorn.com
Auditions for this world premiere by
award-winning local playwright, Albi Gorn, Diminished Capacity reveals our
limitations and how we navigate through them. Revolving around an
interconnected group of people and a Federal narcotics case, Diminished
Capacity is about understanding what holds us back, what makes us tick,
and what keeps us going.
In Diminished Capacity, a criminal
defense lawyer is assigned to represent a young man who is at best only
marginally guilty and may well be innocent. Along the way we meet other
lawyers, a court reporter, a judge, a college professor, another defendant in the
case, a student of the professor who is also a waitress, and a psychologist,
all of whom, like in a Dickens novel, seem to have connections to everyone else.
Auditions will be held at the John
C. Hart Memorial Library, 1130 Main Street, Shrub Oak, NY 10588 on Monday and
Wednesday, August 14 and 16 at 7:00 pm. Performances will run for 6
performances in early November at The United Methodist Church in Shrub Oak. For
more information contact director Robin Joseph at 914-478-2281 or ycptw59@gmail.com

Anne Joseph, at 914 478-2281 and she will arrange another time with you, at an earlier
