LISA - (Late 20’s-50’s) A researcher during the AIDS epidemic in New York City trying to figure out why the virus works the way it does and how she can help find treatment and possibly even a cure. She is stressed out and overwhelmed with the work being done in the clinic along with the deaths taking place. Strong actress needed for this role.
THE WOMAN - (Early 20’s – late 30’s) A victim of the AIDS epidemic. She is a sweet woman in nature but like many during this time, frightened and needing someone to care for her instead of running away. Strong actress. Must be able to cry on command if needed.
