Auditions for Dandelion Theatre's production of Body Awareness by Annie Baker, directed by Katherine Lamb.

Joyce lives with her girlfriend Phyllis, a university professor, and her grown son Jared, who may or may not have Asperger's. The uneasy balance in their home gets turned on its head when a photographer, famous for his nude portraits of women, comes to stay as part of Body Awareness week at the local college. Phyllis' negative take on the portraits starts a debate over what can and should pass as art. By award-winning playwright Annie Baker (The Aliens, Circle Mirror Transformation), Body Awareness explores our best intentions and our worst fears with wit and compassion.
