Breakdown
SEEKING:
MINDY
Female, Asian-American or nonwhite, reads as a tween. Quick-witted, youthful and wide-eyed, hungry for material pleasures and new ideas. An enthusiast who says yes to life in large doses—Barbie dolls, iPads, books—she wants it all. A bubble-gum-rock voice—think Katy Perry. Featured Ensemble role.
PEARL
Female, African-American, reads as 16. An earth mama, a nature lover, a history geek, a romantic backpacker. She’s a junior ranger at Yellowstone, and an expert in the park's history, flora, and fauna. The sunrise there is her scripture. An earthy warm voice—think India Arie meets Alicia Keys. Featured Ensemble role.
MANUEL
Male, Peruvian, 30s-50s. A roadside tamales seller with the heart of a poet. Sexy because of his innate contentment and ability to connect. A great listener. Intuitive, humble, a connoisseur of life's humble pleasures. The lovely, lilting voice of a troubadour—think Jose Gonzales meets Jorge Drexler. Featured Ensemble role.
CASTAWAY
Male, nonwhite, nontraditional body types welcome, any age. A magical, evocative, unusual presence. All heart and wonder. He is a figment of Olivia’s imagination and provides her with love and comfort, but also the riches of a vast imagination. And so his presence, and voice, must be resonant, rich, and reverberant. Voice: like getting a hug from Luther Vandross. Featured Ensemble role.
AN OFFICER
Any ethnicity, any age. A clear, clean tenor. A blue collar feel. Plays numerous roles including a Legal Clerk.Featured Ensemble role.
A LAWYER
Any ethnicity, any age. Soprano or mezzo. A blue collar feel—plays a waitress—but also can play a decent immigration Lawyer fighting the good fight. Featured Ensemble role.
