Description:
The Public House Theatre is seeking non-equity actors for its production of Loose Knit, a comedy of manners written by Theresa Rebeck. Actors of all types, ethnicities, and gender identities are encouraged to apply.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lily | Female | Any Ethnicity | 25-30 | Lily - (20s/30s, no set race) Controlled and repressed; carefully conceals the imperfections of her life until she can no longer maintain the façade. Liz's sister; married to Bob. |
| Liz | Female | Any Ethnicity | 25-30 | Liz - (20s/30s, no set race) A journalist; intelligent and easygoing, but struggling to live up to expectations; constantly living in Lily's shadow. Having an affair with Bob. |
| Paula | Female | African American | 25-30 | Paula - (20s/30s, African-American) A therapist and a keen observer; usually stays cool and collected as chaos unfolds in front of her. |
| Gina | Female | Any Ethnicity | 25-30 | Gina - (20s/30s, no set race) A lawyer; uses knitting as her escape; the more her life falls to pieces, the more sweaters and scarves she makes. (Can be interpreted as a more comedic role - Gina is the one who insists that one must befriend one's knitting needles.) |
| Bob | Male | Any Ethnicity | 25-30 | Bob - (20s/30s, no set race) Lily's husband; a creative type who lacks ambition; is having an affair with Liz. |
| Miles | Male | Any Ethnicity | 25-30 | Miles - (20s/30s, no set race) A rich and powerful businessman seeking the perfect woman; unafraid to speak his mind; charming but sinister |
