Casting two (2) Performers to portray Mr. Green and Ross Gardiner
Mr. Green:
Age: Portray mid- 80s (86)
Ethnicity: Any
Line Load: Heavy
Stage Time: Almost Always on Stage
Characteristics: Mr. Green is an Orthodox Jew and a recent widower with a sharp wit and at times a sharp tongue. Mr. Green is intelligent, humorous, and stubborn, at times, with a sensitivity that he often keeps hidden. Since the death of his beloved wife, he has kept to himself and rarely leaves his apartment. Mr. Green is leery of Ross when the weekly visits begin, but eventually forms a true friendship with Ross.
Ross Gardiner:
Age: Portray 29
Ethnicity: Any
Line Load: Heavy
Stage Time: Almost Always on Stage
Characteristics: Ross is a driven American Express executive with a strained family relation because he has not told his parents he is gay. At first, Ross is bitter about having to visit Mr. Green weekly, but with time, Ross and Mr. Green form a true friendship. The actor portraying Ross should be fit in appearance, as the character is training to run the New York marathon.

Plot Synopsis:
Mr. Green, an elderly, retired dry cleaner, wanders into New York traffic and is almost hit by a car driven by Ross Gardiner, a 29-year-old corporate executive. The young man is given a community service of helping the recent widower once a week for six months. What starts as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in the same room together becomes a gripping and moving drama as they get to know each other, come to care about each other, and open old wounds they’ve been hiding and nursing for years. Translated into 24 languages, with over 500 productions in large and small venues in 50 countries, it has won numerous best play and best actor awards throughout the world.
