SEEKING:

[ JESSICA ]
(29 years old). LEAD. Very pretty, self-deprecating, funny. A former soap opera star tackling the role of Hamlet and seeking answers. At times, she falls into her old Minnesotan accent. This character is on stage nearly the entire time and does a lot of direct address to the audience.

[ GWEN ]
(50s+). LEAD. A smart, direct, dry-witted NYC acting coach (once was nominated for a Tony Award), puts Jessica through her paces for the role of a lifetime

[ ACTRESS #1 ]
(29 years old). SUPPORTING. Attractive and whimsical. Actress Who Works at Starbucks/Punky Bike Messenger/Home Shopping Network Model/Soap Opera Starlet/Geeky Teenager

[ ACTRESS #3 ]
(Mid-30s+). SUPPORTING. Articulate and confident. Plays a Blowhard Male Humanities Professor/Minnesotan Priest Who Loves Shakespeare/A Philosophizing Bartender

[ ACTRESS #4 ]
 (40s+). SUPPORTING. Dramatic and character-y. Male Psychiatrist/Ghost/Home Shopping Network Host/Grand Dame Soap Opera Star Who’s Had a Stroke
