EPA Procedures are in effect for audition.
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 attend every audition.
Always bring your Equity Membership card to auditions.
Equity encourages everyone participating in the auditions to wear a two-ply cloth face mask, surgical mask, singer’s mask or respirator (N95, KN95 or KF94). Single-ply face masks, gaiters and bandanas are not recommended. Singer’s masks can be found at www.broadwayreliefproject.com/singersmask.

JOEY EVANS: 30s. Black. Singer/dancer. A self-centered artist in conflict with a wounded heart. Fiercely ambitious. Streetwise. Charming. Sexy. Tough. Joey has two loves – music and women, in that order. Joey is an artist, a purist, in search of a sound in music that no one else can hear. Joey has fought for everything he has earned and it’s not enough for him. Frustrated by the obstacles that prevent him from becoming a star, Joey is willing to use anyone to get what he wants. Joey acts as if he will sell his soul for success...but when faced with the choice, after his relationship with Linda and then Vera, Joey finds it difficult to act against his own heart.
VERA SIMPSON: 40s. White. Wealthy socialite. Smart, chic, sophisticated, Vera came from poor beginnings but overcame all obstacles to elevate her status in society. A strong, intelligent woman in a man’s world, Vera maneuvered her way into society’s wealthy and privileged as a means of protecting herself from life’s harsher realities, including a broken heart. When her husband died, Vera found herself a bird in a gilded cage – while she is still vibrant and eager for life, she is trapped by the confines of society’s mores. When she meets Joey, Vera experiences a rebirth of passion and purpose.
LINDA: 20s - 30s. Black. Soulful, big heart, strong willed, resilient, a survivor, a realist in search of love and success, in that order. Linda experienced hardships growing up and escaped to Chicago for a better life. Singing and music were her means of expression and healing. Her ambition does not deny her desire for love. Linda wants it all but not at the expense of her heart or her soul. She falls in love with Joey, seeing more in his potential than even Joey can see.
LUCILLE: 50s - 60s. Black. Singer/Owner of CAFÉ LUCE. Lucille was a Harlem Renaissance singer in the late teens and 1920’s. Her popularity and success faded when the allure and fascination with Harlem waned. She became Gangster’s mistress, who bankrolls her nightclub. Becomes Joey’s conscience.
