SEEKING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
Note: some actors (where indicated) play more than one role
RENIA
- 40s. Polish. We see her in the past and in the present. A landlady who once sought refuge in the building she now owns. In the past we see her as lost and careful, eager to please, the newcomer. In the present she is in charge, no nonsense. Trying to disguise a great emotional need in a tough exterior. Speaks English with a Polish accent and speaks in Polish in one scene. ROLE IS CAST
INNA / TANYA
– Late 20’s- 30s. Ukrainian. Resilient, stubborn, determined, dangerous when pushed. Also trying to disguise a great emotional need in a tough exterior. On a quest. Punches a lady in the face in the first scene. Speaks English with a Ukrainian accent and a few lines in Ukrainian. Also plays TANYA - Ukrainian. Inna’s mother, we see her in the past.
PELAGIYA
- 30s. Belarusian. Calculated and careful - always on the lookout for someone trying to screw her. She’s the senior tenant in the building in 2001. The know-it-all who needs to always be on top. Speaks English with a Belarusian accent
AAMANI
- 40s. Afghan. Elegant, grounded. She’s the second most senior tenant in 2001. Very aware, observant, and intelligent. Clear-eyed but also longing for beauty and poetry. Careful. Speaks English with an Afghani accent.
ISABELA / GLENYS
- 20s-30’s . Honduran. Except for Renia, she is the newest tenant in 2001, and is about to leave unexpectedly to return to Honduras. She has a clear-eyed perspective and deep love for her family. Loyal and caring but will put you in your place, if need be. Speaks English with a Honduran accent and speaks some Spanish. Also plays GLENYS, 20s, Honduran-American. Isabela’s daughter. Very smart, kinetic, full of energy. A tenant in 2012. ROLE IS CAST
LERA / JOAN
- 30s. Ukrainian. Inna's closest friend in Ukraine. Determined but often falls short. Cares very much - both for people and for the things she can't quite win in in life. Speaks English with a Ukranian accent and some lines in the play in Ukrainian. Also plays JOAN, 30’s. American. A waitress in a diner who’s lived a lot and seen a lot. Major sass.
