Beginning at 11 a.m. till 1 p.m. at the White Box Theatre in Hyochang-dong, actors will be required to do a cold read and workshop with other actors.

Three directors, Desiree Munro, Kimberly Thomson and Kevin Lambert, will be working together to make this amazing piece of theatre happen.

All scenes will be set in a restaurant for this one weekend only show and the rehearsal schedule will depend on the individual actor's availability.

The show will take place on the first weekend in September.

Characters in scenes being directed by Desiree Munro are Neela, a woman in her 30s who is calm and dignified. She is going to the restaurant to meet the woman who has been sleeping with her husband for the last year. Anna, a kind girl in her 20s who has been having an affair with Neela's husband and has arranged to meet her. Gayle, who's in her late 20s or early 30s and is married and works for a music company. She is kind and is Lynette's best friend. Lynette, Gayle's best friend, in her late 20s, early 30s and married to a lovely man, but frustrated. Frank, a character of any age. Bernie also any age. Strongly opinionated but likeable and tells a story involving losing his wallet. Joey, Frank and Bernie's friend is a little slow. Waitress 1 is cynical and heartbroken. Any age. Waitress 2 is insecure, promiscuous, dealing with recently diagnosed breast cancer.

The characters in scenes directed by Kimberly Thomson are Jim, a gay man in his 20s or 30s who's somewhat needy and can be self absorbed. Barry, a gay man in his 30s or 40s who recently came out, so he doesn't display any overtly homosexual stereotypes. Has a wife and children from a previous marriage. Jamie, Jim's self centered, controlling sister that has polyps on her vocal chords, so spends most of the play whispering her demands to Jim.

The scene directed by Kevin Lambert features a married man who cheats on his wife with her sister and has to face the consequences of his actions.
