Playreading: “An Almost Perfect Person” [] Teatro Santa Ana

The play is “An Almost Perfect Person”, starring 3 new actors in our SM Playreaders troupe. Alison Mix, Rick Franz, and Frank Freschet. Director is Frank Simons, Assistant director is Janice Zimolzak and Roger Johns is our Teleprompter Manager.

In “An Almost Perfect Person” we are given a gutsy, always funny and sometimes wicked glimpse of the way things are these days in the political arena and the bedroom.

After losing her bid for a congressional seat, widowed Irene Porter is devastated. Trying to console her, Dan, her tireless, dashing campaign manager succeeds in coaxing her into bed. Then old-time friend and campaign treasurer, CPA Jerry comes over to inform her of her debts. He also tells her of his love for her and his desire to leave his “liberated” wife. Irene is once more lured into bed.

Within 24 hours, Irene has managed to lose an election and engage in two sexual encounters. When the two men meet face-to-face, Irene must deal with them and their shock at her frivolous fling at love. To Jerry, she had been everything,..”You were Eleanor Roosevelt. You were a perfect person. But now, you’re an almost perfect person.”

Filled with “warmth, laughter and meaning”, this play by Judith Ross shows faith in man’s idealism as well as a sense of humor about how men and women regard each other.
