A PLAYSCRIPTS TITLE
Full-Length Play, Dramatic Comedy / 3w, 1m
Stephen Kaplan
Tracy Jones, completely alone, is throwing a party to which she’s invited every woman in the US named Tracy Jones.
Tracy Jones has rented out the back “party room” of Jones Street Bar and Grill – the Place for Wings (and Things). Tracy Jones is throwing a party to which she’s invited every woman in the United States who is also named Tracy Jones. Tracy Jones has been sitting for over an hour alone, nursing her Diet Coke, waiting for any other Tracy Joneses to show up. Tracy Jones’s epic loneliness is about to be tested beyond anything she ever imagined.
Tracy Jones was first produced as a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere by CenterStage Theatre at the JCC in New York.
TRACY JONES #1 (TRACY) – Female. Late 30s–50s. A desperate hostess. Clings hard to the way that she thinks things should be and has an ugliness at times that makes it clear why she has difficulty connecting with anyone else, but we also feel the depths of her loneliness. We cringe at her choices and actions, but also root for her. Any race.TRACY JONES #2 (ELEANOR) – Female. Older than Tracy. A lover of books. Desperate to fit in. Any race.TRACY JONES #3 (MACKENZIE) – Male. 30s–40s. Uncertain of himself. Lost and trying to find his way. Any race.PERSONAL-PARTY-SERVER/HOST-WITH-THE-MOST (JILLIE) – Female. 17. Personal-Party-Server/Host-with-the-Most at Jones Street Bar and Grill – the Place for Wings (and Things), eager to make the customer’s experience as good as possible. Completely genuine without an ounce of snarkiness. Any race.
For clarity in this script, the characters are referred to as their names in parentheses. However in production programs, the characters should be listed as: Tracy Jones #1, Tracy Jones #2, Tracy Jones #3, Personal-Party-Server/Host-with-the-Most. Diversity in casting is strongly encouraged.

“You’ll feel you’re not watching a play so much as eavesdropping in the function room of such a watering hole in Anytown, U.S.A.” – Boca Magazine
