From the playwright, “In America: Bernadette is white. Margaret is Black. Chris is Black. Jean, Harriet, Dusty and Stephanie can be played by actors of any ethnicity, but be aware that lines and relationships will land differently depending on the racial breakdown of the cast… At least three of the characters must be women of color. Actors can be cis or trans. Age is flexible. Beauty is subjective. So long as they’re fast, fierce, and [*******] hilarious.”
