BREAKDOWN
The play takes place on an indoor soccer field somewhere in suburban America. The field is AstroTurf. We only see the field: no goals, no bleachers.
The actors are members of an ensemble which constitutes a women’s youth soccer team. Accordingly, actors should possess coordination, flexibility and an inclination towards fitness. Soccer skills are particularly welcome.
SEEKING THE FOLLOWING ROLE:
#25
18+ to play 17; Female; Any race or ethnicity. Captain. Classic ex-coach’s daughter. She keeps the team on track, even if she’d rather join in on the fun, and loves a good pep talk. A hard worker, a good leader; emotionally closed off, she discovers her first crush on a woman and shaves her head. Junior at East High.

#2
18+ to play 16; Female; Any race or ethnicity. Defense. Innocent, unlucky, kind, skinny.
