Notice: Audition Call Type: EPA
Equity is committed to diversity and encourages all its employers to engage in a policy of equal employment opportunity designed to promote a positive model of inclusion. As such, Equity encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to attend every audition.

NOTE: In reference to the character descriptions below - most characters we encounter currently are in the binary and are written with he/him or she/her pronouns. But however limiting the descriptions are, our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible and we invite gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender and non-binary actors to submit 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 disabilities when specific to a character, but are otherwise seeking actors with disabilities as well as non-disabled actors for all roles.

ADAM: 28, a trans man. Perceptive, charming, often a wallflower but comfortable with those he loves. A little too stressed to be quite as easy-going as he wants to appear.
LILY: 28, a cis woman. Much more extroverted and openly emotional than Adam, her (former) fiancé. Aggressively nice, desperate to get everything right all the time.
SAMUEL: 30s, a cis man. Adam's coworker. Uninhibited, attractive, moves through life with a substantial level of ease. Genuine to a fault.
NATALIE: 33, a cis woman. Adam's sister. Punchily cynical, guarded, hates the concept of vulnerability (when it applies to her). A strong support system for her brother.
ALYCIA: 23, a cis woman. Admirably confident, sharp, attractive. A former mean girl now mellowed out. Largely unfamiliar with the queer community.
