NOTE FROM PLAYWRIGHT AND DIRECTOR: These characters use a variety of pronouns, which will be determined based on casting, but all characters are women, trans, or non-binary. A community of dykes in the broadest sense of the term. Identities have otherwise been left as open as possible on purpose–we’re casting a community.
JEN: 60s-70s, any pronouns, BIPOC. Gender identity/expression somewhere in the vicinity of butch or trans masc. Often anxious, imagines the worst. Often off doing “Jen stuff” - usually alone time spent working with their hands. Cynical, has let the tragedy of this life wear them down, but somewhere deep down a hopeless romantic.
ANI: 50s-60s, she/her, any race. Oddly quiet when we meet her. She’s spent more time alone during this collapse than the others and it weighs on her more obviously. Obsessed with surgery as a child, worked construction and demolition as an adult, now seeking anywhere that could feel like home.
SARA: 30s-40s, she/her, BIPOC. Transfeminine and high femme. The baby of the group. Loves scrunchies, color, and kitsch. A great organizer, sharp as hell, a bit shy at times. Strategic mind, revolutionary spirit. Hasn’t yet abandoned the dream of a new and better world.
MARIBEL: 50s-70s, any pronouns, any race. Often the ringleader of group activities, loves a game of cards, a game of Werewolf, and attention. Scrappy, imaginative, and a lover.
ASH: 50s-70s, any pronouns, any race. Grumpy as hell but a softy at heart. Loves their friends beyond belief, can’t bear to kill a bug. Resourceful, handy, and constantly skeptical. Will get pissed off and “just do it myself.” When won over though, they’re won over hard.
EL: 60s-80s, any pronouns, any race. Gender identity/expression somewhere in the vicinity of butch, androgynous, masc. Jen’s confidant. El has maintained a spirit of optimism somehow, or maybe it’s naivete, but regardless, somehow manages to cheer up this group at their darkest.
HOROWITZ: 50s-70s, any pronouns, any race. Usually irritable, and often the joker of the group. Probably neurodivergent. Loves to be alone, loves their quiet, loves their routines and is sensitive to anything that disrupts them. Vegan. Learning to take up space.
