BREAKDOWN

BULL DURHAM
BULL DURHAM, A New Musical is based on the classic MGM film, tells the story of three lives brought together by America’s two favorite pastimes: baseball and love. It’s a pitch perfect blend of comedy, drama, and steamy romance. Bull Durham, A New Musical is written by the film’s original screenwriter, Ron Shelton (writer and director of Bull Durham, White Men Can’t Jump and Tin Cup), who has adapted his screenplay for the musical, which has music and lyrics by Susan Werner.

SEEKING:
ANNIE SAVOY (38 - 45 years old). ROLE IS CAST. Female. Any ethnicity. The sexy, curvy, warm and fiery High Priestess of the Durham Bulls. Annie is more than a little cautious about embarking upon relationships that could last more than a season. Has a great, southern rock voice.
