SYNOPSIS: The Greek god Dionysus return to the modern world disguised as a
butch dyke gardener Diane with supernatural abilities, whose secret mission
is to seduce mortal followers and restore the earth to its natural state.
Her first stop is a cul-de-sac in Red Bank, New Jersey, where she tries to
seduce four housewives to be her first acolytes while redesigning the
permaculture of their neighborhood. It’s ‘The Bacchae’ meets ‘The Real
Housewives of New Jersey.”

Actors of all races and ethnicities are strongly encouraged to audition.  All
characters 30-50 years old

Diane: A “butch charm factory.” Moves swiftly, swaggeringly. She is really
the Greek god Dyonsius incarnate to restore Earth to its natural state.
Overwhelmingly charismatic.

“Diane may be played by any butch person who does not identify as male. The
character is a butch dyke but the actor need not be. Casting can run the
spectrum of non-cis-male performers from a straight woman who can
convincingly play a butch lesbian to a trans man who's willing to play a
butch lesbian.”

Carol Fleischer:  Sharply dressed, pointed focus. Not easily swayed but
highly influenced by those around her. Neat, forceful, HGTV-obsessed, and
deeply unhappy.

Renee Shapiro-Epps: Special, but typical. Name brand clothes. Successful,
articulate, woke, and “fearful that she’s sold her soul.” This role is for
an actress of color.

Pam Annunziata: Fabulous. Jewelry is her shield and half of her
personality. Aggressively caring, aggressively Italian. Self-described
“full blooded, both sides.”

Beth Wann: Recently abandoned by her husband, and feeling the loneliness
hard. Probably harder than she’d care to admit. Wispy. Asks Diane to create
her a Fairy Garden.
