SEEKING:
Kristy (past and present): Female, any ethnicity. Ages: 13 and 25 years old. Strong and unique pop/folk singer (think Indigo Girls). At 13, she is the president and founder of The Baby-sitter's Club. The second youngest with three brothers and a single mom, Kristy is a natural leader: resourceful, creative, practical, bossy and forthcoming with her opinions. She favors jeans, turtlenecks, sweaters and baseball caps over make-up and dresses. She is confused by her more boy crazy friends Claudia and Stacey but is nevertheless fiercely loyal and loving. Her best friend since childhood is Mary Anne, who lives across the street. At 25, still living in Stoneybrook and newly unemployed, she makes a discovery that ignites an urgent need to connect with her friends from the Baby-Sitters Club.
Mary Anne (past and present): Female, any ethnicity. Ages: 13 and 25 years old. Strong and unique pop/folk singer (think Indigo Girls). At 13, Mary Anne is a rule follower. On the shy side, she follows strict guidelines put in place by her father - a widower since Mary Anne was a baby. Her fashion and personal style still live more in little girl world than teenager world, though she wishes she could branch out a bit. She is an excellent student, very organized, conflict-averse, and very shy around boys. This becomes an issue when new student Logan turns his attention on her, as her interest in romance conflicts with her social awkwardness. At 25, Mary Anne is in grad school for psychology but becomes distracted by the re-emergence of Logan as a potential love interest. She worries that getting back together with him means she hasn't really changed.
Claudia (past and present): Female, Japanese American. Ages: 13 and 25 years old. Strong and unique pop/folk singer (think Indigo Girls). Claudia is the free spirit of the BSC. Artistic, creative, a little mischievous and committed to a distinctive personal style, Claudia is unapologetically herself. Despite being a brilliant visual artist, she is a terrible student - an uncomfortable reality for her parents and (genius) older sister Janine to reconcile. Only one family member - Claudia's grandmother, Mimi - sees and accepts Claudia for who she really is, and as a result, their bond is quite special. Claudia loves junk food, mystery novels and boys. At 25, Claudia is an up-and-coming artist in Brooklyn, but her quest for originality weighs heavily on her.
Stacey (past/present): Female, any ethnicity. Ages: 13 and 25 years old. Strong and unique pop/folk singer (think Indigo Girls). Stacey grew up in New York City and moved to Stoneybrook at the beginning of seventh grade. She gets attention for her looks, her height (not a casting deal breaker) and her big city sophistication. As the 'new girl', she concealed her Diabetes due to the fact that her diagnosis had been met with scorn and derision by her New York friends. But her BSC friends carry no judgment towards her illness, and she finds their acceptance refreshing. Stacey is good at math, loves boys and shopping and has a tendency to shapeshift around different friends and friend groups in order to fit in. At 25, this shape-shifting makes her an excellent employee at a high-end beauty line - but conforming to the toxic work culture and its grueling demands exacts a physical and emotional toll.
Elizabeth & others: Female, any ethnicity. Doubles as a variety of characters including: Elizabeth - Kristy's Mom, Erin - Snarky Co-Worker, Wife in Couple, Miss Packett - Claudia's Teacher
Mimi & others: Female, Asian American. Doubles as a variety of characters including: Mimi - Claudia's Grandmother, Linda L. - Beauty Founder + Stacey Boss, Real Estate Agent, Janine
Logan & others: Male, any ethnicity. Doubles as a variety of characters including: Logan - Mary Anne's Boyfriend, Williamsburg Artist, Waiter 2 / Security Guard at the Plaza.
Watson & others: Male, any ethnicity. Doubles as a variety of characters including: Watson - Kristy's stepfather, Husband in Couple, Barista, Mr. Spier - Mary Anne's Dad.
