HOMELESS MAN
A weathered, unhoused man who crosses paths with Robert. Injury makeup will be used.
ANNIE
Annie believes it’s my way or the highway; anyone who’s not Annie’s close friend would think she’s delusional. This role demands being able to play crazy with a straight face, akin to Patti Harrison, along with having good on-screen chemistry (being the Calvin to Iman’s Hobbes, from Calvin and Hobbes).
IMAN
Ethnicity/nationality open (North African and Arab preferred). Iman is the optimistic, level-headed, and maybe a little too forgiving friend of Annie. This role demands the ability to match crazy energy and to have good on-screen chemistry (being the Hobbes to Annie’s Calvin, from Calvin and Hobbes).
CHRIS SMUCKER
Chris is a Shane Gillis type comedian, a little nerdy and timid, but naturally funny. This role demands natural stage presence, awkward charm and charisma, and comedic ability.
GUY MANN
Guy is a classy businessman trying to find true love, but he has been out of the dating game for a long time. Seeking an actor who can be boring in an entertaining way.

ANNOUNCER
Voice Only. A trained professional announcer for a big-time comedy show. High energy and a big smile.
Francine Eggbert
Francine is not your average housewife. Her curiosity and naive excitement for the world around her, paired with her stubbornness, shield her from societies prejudices as she explores new connections and a new life as a queer woman. *Must be comfortable with kissing scene
Quinn
Quinn is a butch lesbian with a heart of gold. Her dedication to women’s rights and obvious queerness quickly catches Francine’s eye.
The Mailwoman

A mysterious woman. Clare truly believes in her spiritual powers. She is the representation of an old way of thinking. Perhaps false, but reassuring. * Tiene que Hablar Español
Simon
BIPOC. A new intern at a high-end executive branding agency in New York City. Quirky, cute, a little shy and eager to please. Nothing over the top. Keep it honest, real and subtle. He's a genuinely likable guy trying to do his best. Accent: Standard American. Pay particular attention to Canadianisms, especially the pronunciation of “sorry,” “house” and “out."
STORE OWNER (Revised)

The Survivor is embodying the universal damage done to the divine feminine and will be portraying the impact of the violence done to her. *Actor will have to enter the water, the Actor will not have to engage in any scenes requiring intimacy*
Claire
Claire is Ryan’s ex-partner. She can be as kind, charmingly laid-back, and independent as she can be an argumentative, lazy, self-centered slob. She’s trying to get through the worst day of her life: the day where her best friend, Emma, marries her ex-boyfriend. To deal with the discomfort of the situation, she finds the cellar, a quiet place to smoke in peace. Her feelings towards Ryan have festered and worsened through their years apart; confronting him would allow her to let go of the bitter feeling she holds for a man that a part of her still loves. Character will be handling cigarettes, but will not be smoking. Please note that a minimum of two days of rehearsals are required for the role of Claire. Exact date TBD.
Ryan
Ryan is Claire’s ex-partner. He is as caring and sensitive as he is controlling and selfish. He is marrying Emma. His wedding nerves lead his Type A personality to hyperfixate on finding a bottle of champagne in the venue's cellar. Ryan has an adversarial attitude toward his former lover, Claire due to their messy breakup, while still deeply caring about her. Confronting Claire would allow him to let go of the past and the feelings he has bottled up for years. Please note that a minimum of two days of rehearsals are required for the role of Ryan. Exact date TBD.
