Lone Star
by Sam Bass Theatre Association
Nov. 04 (2018)
Lone Star takes place in the cluttered backyard of a small-town Texas bar. Roy, a brawny, macho type who had once been a local high-school hero, is back in town after a hitch in Vietnam and trying to reestablish his position in the community. Joined by his younger brother, Ray (who worships him), Roy sets about consuming a case of beer while regaling Ray with tales of his military and amorous exploits. Apparently Roy cherishes three things above all; his country, his sexy young wife, and his 1959 pink Thunderbird. With the arrival of Cletis, the fatuous, newlywed son of the local hardware store owner, the underpinnings of Roy's world begin to collapse as it gradually comes out that Ray had slept with his brother's wife during his absence and, horror of horrors, has just demolished his cherished Thunderbird. But, despite all, the high good humor of the play never lapses, and all ends as breezily and happily as it began.

Roles to be cast
Roy - (Male, any ethnicity, 20-45 years old) Tough, uneducated, belligerent; his army service has nearly given him a sense of irony... Nearly. He voted for Nixon, likes John Wayne movies, and thinks Raquel Welch is a great actress.
Ray - (Male, any ethnicity, 18-35 years old) Ray is Roy's younger brother. Ray looks up to his older brother, Roy, for reasons no one quite understands. Sloth-like and slow, he has no idea what irony is. Wears a John Deere hat. Probably sleeps in it.
Cletis aka "Skeeter" - (Male, any ethnicity, 18-35 years old) Cletis is a friend of Ray's and he's about as unmemorable a human as you could find out in West Texas. He married the first girl he dated that didn't spit on him. She married him because of his father's appliance store. He works there and gets lost in the stock room. Has a pocket protector. Sleeps with it.
