In The Subject Was Roses, John and Nettie Cleary welcome their son home after World War II, eager to resume the old roles and routines—and the old battles and silences. But an innocent bouquet of roses and a well-meaning lie sends their small world reeling. Past mistakes and misunderstandings catch up with them at last and force all three to face the truth: there are some hurts that can be healed—and some that can’t.

Please note: the Pearl Theatre Company actively seeks ethnic diversity in the casting of all roles.

Seeking Timmy Cleary:
20s. Clean-cut, average WWII vet. The only child of John and Nettie Cleary, he returns from one war only to be trapped in the middle of another at home. He is still "boyish" after the war, but still most definitely a man, with a bit of darkness to him. He is attractive, appealing, masculine; a "good guy" and peacekeeper for his parents. Actor must be in good physical shape and able to appear "of the time" and capture the sense of the period (1946).
