Synopsis:
The Exonerated combines first-person narrative with legal records to tell the stories of six wrongfully convicted inmates: Delbert Tibbs, Kerry Max Cook, Gary Gauger, David Keaton, Robert Earl Hayes and Sunny Jacobs and their paths to freedom. Their accounts of these freed convicts emphasize their lives after being sentenced to death, including much of the legal proceedings that gained their exoneration.
​
Cast of Characters:
Delbert - African-American, 60. A seminary dropout, radical and poet. His whole personality is like an old soul song; smooth, mellow and with an underlying rhythm that never lets up. Actors playing Delbert should take care to find his substantial sense of humor in addition to his obvious depth.
Sunny White – 50. A bright, Pixie-ish yoga teacher from California. Her lightness and positivity contrast with moments of great depth and clarity.
Robert - African-American, 30s. A former horse groomer from the Deep South; hardened but not lacking a sense of humor. Deep rural Mississippi accent.
Georgia/Female Ensemble #1 -African-American, 30s. Robert’s wife, also southern; Opinionated outspoken Female and extremely warm. She and Robert have a lovingly contentious relationship. Loves to speak her mind.
Gary White, 45. A Midwestern hippie and an organic farmer. Clearly was in his element in the late 60s and early 70s. He is generally good-natured, friendly, and quite smart.
Kerry White, 45. A 19-year-old trapped in a 45-year-old’s body, born and bred in Texas. Kerry was imprisoned for 22 of his 45 years and is eager to rediscover the world. Always wants to make sure he connects with whomever he is talking to. Strong Texas accent.
David - African American, 40. A gentle, sad man, born and raised in northern Florida (otherwise known as southern Alabama). Has a very strong spiritual sense and had aspirations to the ministry before being put on death row at 18. He is continually engaged in a battle between resignation and hope.
Sandra/Sue/Female Ensemble #2 - White, 40. Sandra is married to Kerry. Sweet, nurturing, loves Kerry dearly and has a great sense of humor about him. She has a strong Texas accent. Sue is married to Gary. Salt of the earth; She is also an organic farmer. She has a strong upper midwestern accent - think Fargo.
Male Ensemble #1 &#2 - Both white, 35 to 50. Male ensemble one and two play police officers, attorneys, suspects, and other supporting characters. Both actors should be good with dialects and characterization. Both roles require highly versatile commanding actors.

Since the play is based on real life characters, many of whom are still living, there are some, but limited opportunities for non-traditional casting. All actors will be considered.

Synopsis:
When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic

Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with 
equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the 
group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative 
thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family.  The dangerous voyage is a 
success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building...
