Casting Breakdown:  The script calls for 2 men, 4 women.  The premiere productions followed this format of 6 actors; however 3 of the actors played more than one role. There are 11 roles total in the play; 5 men, 6 women.  I would like to expand the opportunities for auditioners and cast 11 actors, each playing one role.

Peformance Dates:  The production will run the first three weekends of November.  Performances will be at 7:30pm

on    Nov. 4-6, 11-13, and 18-20.  These dates are prior to Thanksgiving.

Synopsis:  Lynette is a suburban housewife with a terrible secret. Greeting her children for her birthday, she has a chance to recognize her children's faults and her own shortcomings and to reach out. She will tell them about her involvement with a historic event over thirty years earlier. Lynette's inner and outer lives have been out of synch, and her final act cracks the surface forever, making it possible for Lynette to unearth her buried self at last.

Critical Response

"…a solidly engaging show." — New City Chicago

"…an intriguing portrait of the impact that Kennedy's death had on a nation by showing us the remnants of a nuclear family, 30 years later…a thought-provoking, well-acted meditation on what we've all become." — Phoenix New Times

"After a plethora of new American plays aimed at the solar plexus, it is gratifying to find one that appeals to the mind." —The Guardian ( London )

"For those millions who are still desperate to get to the bottom of what really happened in Dallas in November 1963 or still worship JFK, Frame 312 should prove thought-provoking." —British Theatre Guide

Do you think you know what happened on November 22, 1963?

StageCenter is a great rental venue for meetings and parties.
