Description:
“Enough Room” is a social impact comedy following the journey of Selena Romo, a successful Latina living in Los Angeles. Despite her random encounters with racism — a boss who assumes she speaks Spanish and a neighbor who qualifies her as “one of the good Mexicans” — Selena loves life in the City of Angels. She also believes she may have found a potential partner in Ben Ciccone, a funny and sweet contractor with whom she’s been chatting on the phone for weeks. But when they finally meet in person, a single provocative remark suddenly turns their romantic date on its head, forcing Selena and Ben to navigate the issues of race, tolerance, and what it truly means to hold your own integrity in the face of adversity.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selena | Female | Hispanic | 30-40 | Actor MUST have Mexican descent due to nature of storyline. A born-and-bred Los Angelino who is strong-willed and encompasses the complexities of pleasantness, toughness, agreeability, and strong opinions. She follows her own moral compass but doesn't allow that to blind her to the perspectives of others. While people around her try to tell her how to navigate the world, she fights to remain true to her beliefs. She has felt a strong connection to Ben via a dating app, and is genuinely excited to get to know him in person. She is smart, thoughtful, confident, and willing to give an unpopular opinion out of love. NO ACCENT, NO SPANISH REQUIRED. |
| Ben | Male | Caucasian | 30-40 | A charming and handsome man with an east coast and working-class vibe. Ben has deep ties to his family, and feels a strong connection to Selena via a dating app, prior to meeting her in person for the first time. He is a 'Patriotic American,' but limited in his scope of the world. |
| Estelle | Female | Caucasian | 50-70 | An east-coast woman who has lived in Los Angeles long enough to consider herself a native. She's resided in the same apartment for twenty-five years and despite the change and growth around her, wishes that everything could just stay the same. Estelle is convinced that all Mexicans are thieves, even though she's never actually been robbed by one. |
| Carrie | Female | Caucasian | 30-40 | A self-proclaimed white feminist savior, Carrie is Selena's friend and roommate. Through her eagerness she wants to fight for the underdog, but ends up wearing her "Savior-hood" as a badge. It's not that she doesn't make real attempts to fight for her friends, but she can carry a little bit of ignorance, and it's not uncommon for her to overstep boundaries. |
| Patrick | Male | African American | 30-40 | Carrie's smart and savvy boyfriend, Patrick is very aware of the racism around him, even in Los Angeles. He connects with Selena in their efficiency of handling emotions based on where they are at in life, and has no problem shrugging off attempts from people who try to tell him how to feel--even if it's coming from his girlfriend. |
| Young Girl | Female | African American | 8-12 | A fun, smart, and precocious child who is very open with how she feels about the world. Book-smart, witty, and not afraid to be herself in a room full of adults. |
