Actors & Performers
she/her.
Early 30s. Smart, funny, under-employed. OK, she teaches yoga, but, you
know. Depressed, but too sardonic to carry her depression in a heavy
way. Having quit ballet, Teach for America, and touring with a modern
dance company, she’s now writing an illustrated children’s book about
quitting. Rolls her eyes at her mom, but has a soft spot for her dad.
Required Media: Headshot/Photo, Video Reel

he/him.
60s. Lou’s old friend from graduate school. The “cool” one. A guy whose
life has gone well. Easy charm, gift of the gab, a free laugh. His
career and marriage have both been successful, and he lives happily in
Denver with his wife and his tiny horse. A guy who hasn’t thought very
hard about things because they have always come easily.

she/her.
Ageless. The Stage Manager. Maps has a casual relationship with the
audience and she speaks to the characters in the play with a friendly
authority. She loves and pities the people in the play the way that the
Stage Manager in Our Town loves the people of Grover’s Corners. She also
plays a handful of other characters, but does so as Maps playing the
characters -- Maps maintains a distance from the other characters which
allows her to see them clearly.
