Phobophobia Theatre seeking 5 actors for 2017 Fringe production of The WaitAbout the Play: Waiting is an inevitable part of life. But what happens when instead of putting life on hold while you wait, you discover something new about yourself, a loved one, or even a complete stranger?

- ANTHONY – male, 20s, slightly shy
- ELENA – female, 60s or older, was very glamorous in her youth, a hopeless romantic
