*SEEKING THE FOLLOWING ROLES: *
*CARLO *(30s, Identifies female) – A lesbian who masks her pain with an
outrageous sense of humor; someone you’re drawn toward and terrified of in
equal measure. She's great at dispensing advice but incapable of receiving
it. She has come to her ex's wedding to a straight man, hellbent
on...something, but she's not sure what. She might be trying to save you,
or destroy you-- or both. Anything to keep you distracted from focusing on
her true feelings. Self-sabotaging. Trying hard, but failing to keep her
emotions at bay.
*ELI* – (30s, Identifies male) – A straight man in a floral shirt; a
romantic, sensitive and earnest to an unwise degree. A high-school English
teacher who's been through his fair share of therapy. Ready to propose to
his long-term girlfriend.
*CARLY* (30s, Identifies female) – A heterosexual, devoted bridesmaid with
a master’s degree in passive aggressive communication. She has a long
history with both Eva and Carlo. She's armed with a withering smile. Takes
her role in the wedding very seriously.
*VICTOR* - (20s-40s Identifies male) Annoyed cater-waiter—this is only his
day job. Can throw shade with just a look. Has a boyfriend
*MARIA* (60s, Identifies female) – Mother-of-the-bride; First Wives Club
meets ex-Berkeley hippie; a more deeply pickled form of Carlo, she has a
biting wit. She has not been invited to participate in many aspects of the
wedding due to her unpredictable nature and tendency to speak her mind and
is avoiding her ex-husband and his date by hanging out at the bar. She and
Carlo get along like a house on fire.
*LEIGH* (late 20’s - 30s, Identifies female or non-binary) – Seductive and
hip; someone who comes on strong without being cheesy or creepy. A queer
graphic designer with great eyebrows. Leigh has a direct and penetrating
gaze which promises a good time.
*EVA* (30s, Identifies female) – The bride; Carlo's ex. She is generous and
kind but sees through the bullshit; someone who tells the truth well. She
knows when to play and when to get serious.
Actors do not necessarily need to be that ages indicated but should be able
to portray the characters at these ages.
*Cautions*
- Alcohol
- Strong Language
- Adult Themes
