BREAKDOWN

REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES

SEEKING:

[ANA] Female-identifying, 18 years old. Mexican/ Latina. Bi-lingual (Spanish & English). A budding activist, smart, passionate, impulsive, big hearted, and, okay... maybe a bit righteous. The first U.S. citizen in her family, Ana has big dreams and some guilt about that too. Curvy and fine with it. Singer (Alto/mezzo, wide range) with an open, natural, straight-tone singing voice, strong belt, strong pop sensibilities including great rhythm.

[CARMEN] Female-identifying, Mexican, early 50s. Bi-lingual (Spanish & English). Full of laughter, stories, and chisme. Irreverent in her speech, but stubborn and old fashioned in her ideals. Ana got her curves from her.

[ESTELA] Female-identifying, 30 years old. Mexican born, grew up in Los Angeles. Bi-lingual (Spanish & English). A hard worker, suppressing her talent and ambition to take care of her family. She has a wry sense of humor, and she’s curvy too. Alto/Mezzo with a strong belt.

[PANCHA] Female-identifying, 40s. Mexican. Bi-lingual (Spanish & English). Wise, wry, outspoken, with big curves. Alto/Mezzo with a strong belt.

[ROSALÍ] Female-identifying, 30s. Salvadoran. Bi-lingual (Spanish & English). Warm, romantic, a lover of pop culture, trying to be slim at any cost. Alto/Mezzo with a strong belt.

[IZEL] Female-identifying, 17 years old. Indigenous Guatemalan, a refugee with few words, but she takes it all in. Bi-lingual (Spanish & English), a plus if actor is fluent or familiar with K’iche. Sensitive and impressionable, resilient, with a great laugh. Alto/Mezzo with a strong belt.

[MRS. WRIGHT] Female-identifying. 40s. Latina. Character passes as white, this being relevant to the story. Bi-lingual (Spanish & English). Blonde, tough, a businesswoman above all else.

[RAUL] Male-identifying. 50s. Mexican. Bi-lingual (Spanish & English). A house painter, a loving father and husband, a dreamer, much stronger than his circumstances have allowed.

[HENRY] Male-identifying. 18 years old. Black. A smart, perceptive, a bit nerdy, ambitious, funny. Strong tenor voice.
