Synopsis
Recently filmed as a local feature titled POSTMARKED, and written by Valley playwright Ron Hunting; Stray Cat is thrilled to mount the World Premiere production of the original play – a comically dark,
taut new thriller. While making his appointed rounds, mailman George Ruth witnesses a murder. He thinks it’s a drug deal gone bad. Boy is he ever wrong. Think the unpredictability of Quentin Tarantino (Reservoir Dogs) meets the dark undercurrents of Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman).

Character Breakdown
ROLES AVAILABLE — 6 M, 1
F
PHIL: Male, age 25-40, a hired gun somehow associated to a mysterious organization. A blunt instrument who specializes in “wet work”, fear and intimidation. Also, he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
STEVE: Male, age 25-40, a lieutenant in the mysterious organization. Higher up on the totem pole than PHIL and more of a thinker. A man unafraid to do what is
necessary, but also considerate of the circumstances and consequences associated with his particular line of work.
GEORGE: Male, age 35-60, a mailman who saw something he shouldn’t have. A kind man and a true friend who finds himself in a situation that is way over his head.
STAN: Male, age 35-60, a mailman and a citizen of this country and fully aware he’s entitled to certain unalienable rights as a Federal employee. The kind of guy to
unnecessarily mansplain issues in a tense situation out of a misguided sense of self preservation.
TOM: Male, age 35-60, a mailman with a quick wit and acerbic tongue. A man who speaks his mind and doesn’t sugar coat things, which is refreshing and honest, but not always helpful.
JERRY: Male, age 35-45, an anxious accountant with the know-how and skill-set to do things like set up a Swiss bank account. He’s intelligent, rational and lives with his
Jewish mother.
JACKIE: Female, age 20-40, the right hand of the leader of the mysterious organization. She is uncompromising, confident and wields authority with austerity.
