CASTING ATTRIBUTES-Role(s) for Black Actor(s), Role(s) for Latino
Actor(s), Multicultural casting, Strong Role for Leading Woman. All
age ranges will be considered, except for Emma as noted below.

SHELLEY - A nun, and the administrator of the soup kitchen. Black
actress a plus.

EMMA - 19. A college dropout who volunteers for Shelley. 

OSCAR - The handsome Latino janitor of the soup kitchen.

FROG - One of the homeless patrons. 

STORY - Having dedicated her life to religious service, Shelley runs a
Bronx soup kitchen with unsentimental efficiency, but lately her
heart’s not quite in it. Her brisk nature masks an unsettling fear
that her efforts are meaningless. When Emma — an idealistic but
confused college dropout — arrives to volunteer, her reckless mix of
generosity and self-involvement pushes Shelley to the breaking point.
With keen humor and startling compassion, Heidi Schreck’s play
navigates the mystery of faith, the limits of forgiveness, and the
pursuit of something resembling joy.
