NOTE: While the characters are written with he/him or she/her pronouns in the original scripts, we welcome gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, and non-binary actors to audition for the roles they most identify with. We will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. In addition, we will list disability when specific to a character but are otherwise seeking actors of all abilities. Thank you to First Folio Theatre for inspiring the language in this note as we work towards a more inclusive casting process.

NOTE: None of these girls are “kiddie,” the play dies in the world of kiddie. And they all have a sense of humor, and a lust for life. Energy, laughter, curiosity abound in all.

SEEKING:

• ESTE: Female. Latina. 18+ to play six months away from fifteen. Underdog. At the top of the play, she has yet to step into her power - she is a very smart young woman. Este is an immigrant and the only immigrant out of the four girls. The only working-class member of the team, and someone for whom English is a second language.
• PHOEBE: Female. Afro-Latina. 18+ to play three months into sixteen. Phoebe is a softer but formidable opponent to Salma. A bad case of good girl syndrome, she hides her power through her politeness and care. But the fierceness is there.
• MARIA: Female. Latina. 18+ to play fifteen. Maria is the big reveal! There's more to la niña bonita than meets the eye. She is the glue of this group. No rosy-eyed glasses for her, she sees everything clearly in her life and sees her friends clearly as well.
