First Rehearsal: August 12, 2024
Performances: September 5 – October 6, 2024
ESTHER: Mid-20s-early 30s. She feels young, impressionable, eager, and yet no-nonsense, too;
she’s Jewish (Hasidic).
SCHMULI: 30s. Formal, not totally comfortable in his skin, also Hasidic; should have the capacity for
deep, surprising emotion; he is a profoundly gentle person.
ABE: Mid-30s-early 40s. An intellectual who enjoys seducing with language; he’s charming but also
self-effacing, humble, confused, and trying his best; in other words, he’s Jewish.
SOPHIE: Mid-30s-early 40s. Abe’s wife, dry and intelligent and world-weary; she is biracial:
Caucasian/Jewish and Black.
JULIA CHEEVER: Mid-30s-early 40s. A movie star with an abundance of outward charm and
confidence; she is poised and polished, but not without vulnerability.
