3. Actors who will be in Montreal on those dates. (By submitting yourself or your talent, you are confirming that you or your talent would be in Montreal on those dates.)

Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadTANIAFemale 60 - 70 Years old
Description
Kind, nurturing and intuitive. She’s eager to meet her son Danny’s fiancee, and ready to help out anyway she can for their upcoming wedding, but after Audrey makes a terrible first impression, followed by a series of inflexible demands, she shares her concerns with love-blind Danny. She gives him space to make his own decision about marrying Audrey, but she also helps him see the truth about her too.
WARDROBE:
Nice and put together but not overly fashionable or showy. Simple shirts, solid cardigans, slacks and or jeans. Comfortable. She has a purse throughout, and a suitcase. Natural hair and makeup.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadAUDREYFemale 20 - 30 Years old
Description
Tone-deaf and entitled, Audrey has no qualms about vocalizing her wants, especially when it comes to her wedding. Determined to have fiancée Danny make her nuptial dreams come true - no matter the cost - she’s relentless with her demands until her desperation ends up costing her everything.

WARDROBE:
Scenes 1-6: Comfortable casual, at home jeans and shirt. She wears her hair down, long and flowing, a little too much makeup but closer to a natural look more than not.
Scene 7: A wedding gown. It should be sort of ugly– but she loves it.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadDannyMale 20 - 30 Years old
Description
LEAD - DANNY, 20s
Totally and utterly in love. He lets Audrey’s wants take precedence over his own, and zero awareness that she might be using him until his mother Tania visits. He’s good and gentle, and while he might feel like a fool for being duped by Audrey, he’s by no means foolish about how he loves.

WARDROBE:
Casual, jeans and t-shirts or long sleeved shirts. He’s not super wealthy, but he does well enough to keep himself looking neat and together.
