Description:
An introvert takes on the identity of a big time casting agent until she discovers it's not such a good idea, but it's too late... the jig is up.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fern | Female | Caucasian | 40-45 | Nothing really changes for Fern and she is okay with that. She is content with her ho hum life and her daily routine between home and work. She works at the dry cleaners and her big thrill is to watch VHS movies home after work. Fern is introverted and considerate of others. |
| Opal | Female | Any | 70-80 | Opal is a young spirit trapped in an elderly body. She perceives life as exiting and adventurous. When Opal waters her flowers each morning, Fern crosses her path on the way to work. Bothered by Fern’s isolated life, Opal will often coax Fern to “get out there!” and “live a little!” |
| Sasha | Male | Any | 30-40 | Sasha is a gay extrovert and Fern’s co-worker at the dry cleaners. He dresses too nice for work and loves to make a grandiose entrance and exit. Sasha is a legend in his own mind. Sasha will do just about anything. He seeks fun, adventure, and pleasures. Sasha and Fern click because they are complete opposites. |
| Consuelo | Female | Hispanic | 40-50 | Consuelo is a Hispanic spitfire. She's the Boss. She often blends English and Spanish when she is talks. She is outspoken and eagle-eyed when it comes to her business. She schmoozes her customers and keeps tabs on her staff. This is a great role for a dynamic actress. |
| Mark | Male | Caucasian | 30-40 | Mark Dalton is a handsome guy and a humble guy. He’s a talented, screenwriter, but naive. His life-long passion is to write movies. Mark’s hope is fading after sending his spec script to 100’s of Agents - with no response. He finally resorts to sending his spec script to a movie casting agent instead, with a slim hope that his spec script might find its way into the right Agent’s hands. To get by, Mark works as a bartender at his brother’s bar. |
| Receptionist | Female | Any | 20-30 | Receptionist for Casting Agency is the competent gate keeper. She manages a busy desk, a busy office, busy phones, and lots of questions. |
