Equity actors for roles in PURLIE VICTORIOUS.
Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins
She/her. 20s–early 30s. Black/African-American. From the backwoods of Alabama, she has been a servant in a white household. Naive, innocent, and good-hearted, she first met Purlie as a preacher and accompanied him back to the plantation. Purlie intends for Lutiebelle to impersonate his deceased cousin, Bee, as a part of his scheme to secure the inheritance. While Lutiebelle is eager to assist Purlie in his endeavors, her aspirations lead toward finding a husband and establishing a family.
Gitlow Judson
He/him. 40s–60s. Black/African-American. Purlie's brother but in many ways his antithesis and conceptual opposite. He has come to terms with the realities of plantation life and chooses accommodation over resistance. He is granted a role by the white plantation owner of Deputy-For-The Colored to lead his fellow African-Americans and ensure their compliance and productivity in the cotton fields.
