SYNOPSIS

Lauren Fein is at the top of her game. Happily married with a foster son, she is a world-renowned scientist and tenured professor at an elite university. She’s on the verge of a breakthrough in her life’s work when she runs afoul of the university’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies. Suddenly, her groundbreaking research, her tenure, and even her family are all put in danger.



CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

Paola Moreno - Late 30s to late 40s, Latina, female-presenting, lesbian. Paola is a professor of Theatre and Film Studies at the same university as Lauren. She is of Puerto Rican descent and is a native Spanish speaker. She has a slight accent and occasionally peppers her speech with Spanish. Paola is fiercely loyal to her wife, Lauren, and often tries to compensate for Lauren's social faux pas. What Lauren lacks in social savvy, Paola more than makes up for.

Note: This role involves staged intimacy. No nudity.

PLEASE NOTE –The playwright is in the active process of revising the piece, and the final performance draft will differ from this copy.
