Equity’s contracts prohibit discrimination. Equity is committed to diversity and encourages all its employers to engage in a policy of equal employment opportunity designed to promote a positive model of inclusion. As such, Equity encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to submit.
NOTE: While the characters are written with he/him or she/her pronouns in the original scripts, we welcome gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, and non-binary actors to audition for the roles they most identify with. We will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. In addition, we will list disability when specific to a character, but are otherwise seeking actors of all abilities. Thank you to First Folio Theatre for inspiring the language in this note as we work towards a more inclusive casting process.
CAROL FLEISCHER: Female. White. Mid-30s-early 40s. Abides by the rules; holds fast to her boundaries. Tidy and organized. Loves order and HGTV magazine. Polite but not a pushover. Works in pharmaceutical compliance. Favors close tailored Talbots and Lands’ End Starfish casual knits.
PAM ANNUNZIATA: Female. White. 40s. Stay at home mom. Full blooded Italian, both sides. Proud of her heritage but hasn’t been back to Italy yet. Dutiful, loyal, protective, big-hearted. Bold and direct. Always prepared for natural disasters. Favors an animal-print wrap dress and “jewelry so fabulous it could be used to signal a landing plane.”
RENEE SHAPIRO-EPPS: Female. Black, Indigenous, Person of Color. 40s. Confident and career-driven. Former resident of a permaculture commune now stuck in manicured suburbia. Settled into a heterosexual marriage; she often mentions her one college girlfriend. Hungry for more in life. Editor at HGTV Magazine. Favors Eileen Fischer neutrals and loungewear.
BETH WANN: Female. White. 30s. Recently divorced. Lawn overgrown. Seems a bit aloof, but deep down she is driven by a hunger for connection. Great capacity for both gentleness and wildness. Vulnerable with a hidden strength.
DIANE: Female or Non-Binary. Any race/ethnicity. 30s-50s. Dionysus in their latest form – a lesbian permaculture landscape architect. “A butch charm factory, with [a] combination of swagger and stillness.” Smooth, powerful, and magnetic. Irresistible and impish – but in that particular Greek Demi-God kind of way. Favors the garb of an ancient deity as well as long shorts, Smartwools, and boots.
