This coming March, Acacia Theatre Company will be staging a production of Jayme McGhan’s Autonomy. It tells to story of Dr. Marlene Rampart--a physicist about to publish a a book which, “disproves the existence of God.” Deadlines pass and Rampart still has yet to deliver the book. Why? Sounds like it could be interesting. They’re looking for a diverse cast of 3 woman and 2 men. here’s the list from the formal audition announcement:
