SEEKING
Arlene: (27-37, Jewish, any ethnicity, female identifying) Arlene is a researcher who desperately wants to be a copywriter and dreams of being a genius. Until now, she's been allowed in the room where it happens because she's been invisible. But this play is her big chance to show her spine and be seen. Smart, with a keen understanding of language and culture, Arlene would sacrifice anything to rise up the ladder.
Peter / Minister Kikadze / Daniel: (45-55, white, male identifying) All three of these characters are the boss in every room they're in. Peter is a partner at an ad agency in 1970s NYC. Charming, powerful, sexist. Kikadze is the top Russian Government Official in a small country outpost. Daniel is the heir to a storied yogurt empire. None of these men chase power, they just have it. Debonair.
Blake / Pharmacist / Russian Translator / Bagrat: (27-40, any ethnicity, male identifying) Kind of a jerk. The friend who will pull you aside with kindness and then cruelly tell you how terrible you look in that outfit. Needs to be capable of using polite language to imply very impolite feelings.
Elisha / Sandy / Female Dannon Exec / Duda: (30-60, white, female identifying) Looking for a magical character actress capable of playing larger than life roles with grounded support. Someone who can play both the good witch and the bad.
Offstage Understudy 1: (27-37, Jewish, white, female identifying) Covers Arlene & Elisha / Sandy / Female Dannon Exec / Duda tracks.
Offstage Understudy 2: (35-45, ethnicity, white, male identifying) Covers Peter / Minister Kikadze / Daniel, Penny / Yitzak / Male Dannon Exec & LD / Senor Abela / Georgian Translator / Waiter tracks.
