Glengarry Glen Ross is the 1984 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award Winning Play by David Mamet. The play shows parts of two days in the lives of four desperate Chicago real estate agents who are prepared to engage in any number of unethical, illegal acts—from lies and flattery to bribery, threats, intimidation and burglary—to sell undesirable real estate to unwitting prospective buyers. The play draws partly on Mamet's experiences in a Chicago real estate office, where he worked briefly in the late 1960s. The title of the play comes from the names of two of the real estate developments being peddled by the salesmen characters, Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms.

Audition Requirements:
All actors auditioning will read from the script (Act I, 2 person Scenes will be the focus of the initial audition). 2 days of auditions will be conducted. No formal callback date. I will ask those being seriously considered to stay after and read further selections as needed.

I am specifically looking for 7 men who are fearless and ready to explore in depth characterization and scene study. Improvisation will be used as a rehearsal tool.
