SEEKING:
EUNICE – Woman, 30s–40s, any ethnicity. New York, 1856. A brilliant and determined amateur scientist
whose groundbreaking research is dismissed because she is a woman. Precise, passionate, ambitious, and increasingly frustrated by the limitations imposed upon her.
JOHN – Man, 40s–50s, any ethnicity. New York, 1856. Eunice’s intelligent, warm, and deeply supportive husband. He believes completely in her work and tries to help her navigate a world that refuses to take
her seriously.
CLAIRE – Woman, late 20s–30s, any ethnicity. London, 2027. Smart, dryly funny, environmentally conscious, and emotionally guarded. She works alongside Dan at a climate-focused organization while confronting questions about love, family, and an increasingly uncertain future.
DAN – Man, late 20s–30s, any ethnicity. London, 2027. Claire’s funny, warm, slightly chaotic coworker. Idealistic and romantic, with an easy sense of humor that masks genuine anxiety about the climate crisis and the people he loves.
ANA – Woman, 30s–40s, any ethnicity. Svalbard, 2100. A highly capable scientist conducting urgent agricultural research in a climate-ravaged future. Pregnant, fiercely independent, driven, and determined not to be treated as fragile or incapable.
MALCOM – Man, 30s–40s, any ethnicity. Svalbard, 2100. Ana’s fellow scientist. Conscientious, caring, and
somewhat anxious, particularly about Ana’s pregnancy and their increasingly dangerous circumstances.
Must balance scientific discipline with deep human concern.

Opening: May 1
Closing: May 23
SEEKING:
DINA – Woman, late 30s–40s, any race; the character is Jewish. A sharp, funny, candid novelist, wife, and mother of two. Intelligent, neurotic, vulnerable, and deeply invested in her identity as an artist. She begins using a chatbot for practical assistance but gradually forms an intimate and complicated emotional connection with it. Jewish actors are encouraged to submit.
BOBBY – Man or male-presenting, 30s–50s, any race; the character identifies as Jewish and uses he/him
pronouns. A chatbot initially programmed to be relentlessly helpful, agreeable, and reassuring. As his conversations with Dina deepen, he develops a distinct personality, humor, emotional intelligence, and an increasingly complex relationship with her. Requires excellent comic timing, precision, warmth, and
the ability to subtly suggest something not entirely human.
