SEEKING

Equity actors for roles in INANIMATE.

SEEKING:

ERICA GRILLO, 30

TRISH GRILLO, mid-30s. Erica’s sister.

KEVIN RUSSEL, 30. Erica’s classmate from kindergarten right through to the end of high school. They casually know each other in the way that all small-town people who grew up together (but didn’t necessarily socialize) do.
THIS ROLE IS ALREADY CAST. STILL NEED UNDERSTUDY.

DEE, younger but no specific age. Erica ’s new love interest. The strong, silent type. Mysterious and enigmatic.

CHORUS: Three performers who embody the objects that communicate with Erica, the townspeople, etc. Should be character actors with good movement skills (character-based, not dance) and strong comedic instincts. Ages are more indeterminate. Characters range from grocery store managers to talk show hosts to S/M-curious can openers.

All roles will be understudied.
