CURRENTLY SEEKING:

Trained technical dancers with dynamic and vivid personalities to play various roles in the ensemble and understudy the following principal roles:

[MIRANDA HILLARD] Character is female (cis, transgender, or nonbinary), late 30s, any ethnicity. Daniel’s wife (and eventually ex-wife). She has become exasperated in her marriage by her husband’s childlike behavior and his failure to support her in her work or at home. She is a strong and smart woman whose ambitious business plans have an ethical dimension as well. 

[LYDIA HILLARD] Character is female (cis, transgender, or nonbinary), 18+ years old to play 15 years old, any ethnicity. Daniel and Miranda’s daughter, who has borne the brunt of their marital battles and their divorce and is angry at both of them, but she keeps a lid on it. Acerbic with a biting sense of humor but not snarky or sullen. She’s trying to keep her emotions in check as she is forced to grow up faster than she ever anticipated. She looks out for her younger siblings, and challenges both parents about their choices. Strong high belt singing voice. 5'3" and under. 

[ANDRE MAYHEM] Character is male (cis, transgender, or nonbinary), late 30s, Black, indigenous, or person of color. Frank’s husband. Does make-up and styling with Frank. He’s a big Donna Summer fan; she gave him the confidence to come out when he was 12. More grounded and steady than his partner, usually takes the moral high ground. Calm, confident, self-assured, poised, impeccably dressed. Stylish and knows it. 

[STUART DUNMEYER] Character is male (cis, transgender, or nonbinary), late 30s, any ethnicity. Striking, rich, and successful. He’s physically fit but also modern in his view of what women actually want. Progressive, strong, confident, and well on his way to the Fortune 500 list.
