Chapter Two by Neil Simon
Lemon Bay Playhouse

Auditions will be held at the Lemon Bay Playhouse at 7:00 pm on Sunday, September 5, and Monday, September 6. The play runs from October 27 thru November 14. The script calls for two male actors, ages 30-50, and two female actors, ages 30 – 50. Scripts are available at the Playhouse for reading on site.

Chapter Two is based on the second chapter of Neil Simon’s life after the death of his first wife. He has trouble overcoming his loss, so his brother Leo determines to bring him out of his slump by supplying him with unwanted & unsuccessful dates. Then Leo comes up with Jennie, a real winner! Both George and Jennie have lots of adjustments to make in their lives. What fun it is to watch this! In a hilarious subplot Leo has a fling with Faye, Jennie’s dizzy and neurotic married friend.
