A good New York City supermarket has everything its neighborhood needs, including a charming cast of characters behind the counter. CITIZENS MARKET follows a hopeful group of immigrants as they form an unlikely family, working to master the ups and downs of language, love, and staying afloat in the city that never sleeps. Full of laughter and life, this world premiere celebrates an ever-shifting and eclectic America.
An Equity Monitor will not be provided. The producer will run all aspects of this audition.

BREAKDOWN
AKOSUA – 20’s, female. Recent immigrant from Ghana. Soft-spoken, but eager to please and not afraid of hard work and responsibility. Her spirit has been dampened by a broken heart, but through the course of the play she learns to smile again. She begins with a strong accent which fades by the end of the play.
JESUS – 30’s-early 40’s, male. Immigrant from El Salvador who has lived in America for a long time. Manager of the supermarket and proud of it. He can be gruff and critical when it comes to work, but he has a soft spot for his employees, especially Ciata. A heart of gold masked by a big bark. An accent sometimes colors his dialogue.
CIATA – 20’s-early 30’s, female. Immigrant from Sierra Leone with a slight accent. Devoted, fierce, and trustworthy, Ciata is the best employee at the supermarket. Because of a failed marriage, she is wary about falling in love and opening up to men.
BOGDAN – 60’s, male. Immigrant from Romania. A life of hardship makes him look and feel 65 going on 100. He is especially loud and forceful, and his gruff attitude can overshadow his sweet and gentle spirit. He is inventive and resourceful, but sometimes lacks compassion when talking to others, particularly his wife.
MORFINA – 60’s, female. Immigrant from Romania. Bedraggled with failing health, little money, and a rough past, Morfina has little optimism left. She cares deeply about her husband, but shows it primarily through complaining about him. Enduring and patient, but also sassy and surly.
