ALL OF ME
SYNOPSIS: Boy meets girl. Boy uses wheelchair, girl uses scooter. Boy and girl use text-to-speech technology to connect to each other and the world around them. Love is holding them together even when the people in their lives want to pull them apart. It’s a romantic coming-of-age story that hasn’t been seen before. All of Me is a hilarious and candid portrayal of disability and class in present-day
America.
[JACKIE] 26 to 35 years old, white woman. Nondisabled, always in Lucy's shadow despite being the older sister. Her extreme helpfulness stems more from recognizing that someone's gotta make dinner than from having a heart of gold. A manicurist always on the hunt for singing gigs, she spends her days at the salon earmarking the magazines for new trends. She spends her nights Pinning DIY-ways to make said trends on her nonexistent budget. Role open to all physical types.
[CONNIE] 55 to 70 years old, white woman. Mother of Lucy and Jackie. A manicurist at a nail salon who is too proud to use the cane she should be using. A pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps woman with nearly unshakeable faith. Would do anything for her daughters or for a massage. Considers herself nondisabled. Role open to all physical types.
[ELENA] 48 to 60 years old, Hispanic woman. Nondisabled, mother of Alfonso. A poised, multi-lingual yoga-devotee with two blank pages left in her passport. She's a self-made lawyer who knows how to relax as hard as she works. Role open to all physical types.
[MOOSE/THE RUNNER] 31 to 40 years old, white man. Nondisabled, Jackie's live-in fiance´. Not necessarily conventionally handsome. A capricious libertarian who will defend his decision to make playing online poker his full time job to the death. A loyal oddball. Moose also doubles as - THE RUNNER - well-meaning. Role open to all physical types.
LUCY (THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST) White, female, a retired jazz singer, disabled. A dry and incisive sense of humor: the ideal person to watch Real Housewives with. She has a degenerative neurological disease that surfaced after high school that is atrophying her muscles. Although she can still produce sounds with her voice, she primarily uses a text-to- speech Augmentative and Alternative Communication device to speak. She uses a motorized scooter.
ALFONSO (THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST) Latino or AfroLatino, male, an infectious disease researcher, disabled. A levelheaded charmer with flashes of insecurity. The friend who is game to accompany you to your cousin’s clarinet recital. He was paralyzed as a baby, and has limited motor abilities and no speech capability. He uses a text-to-speech Augmentative and Alternative Communication Device to speak. He uses a motorized wheelchair.
