CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS - Seeking actors who are of age or to convincingly play the ages listed.
SASHA - [THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST] Female, Early 20s. Cam girl. Incredibly passionate and sometimes a bit too impulsive. Self-proclaimed misandrist who desperately seeks validation. Beautiful, violent, vulgar. "A girl is a gun."
MIRANDA - Female, any age to play 30s -- 40s. Sasha’s mother. Her dream is to be on The Real Housewives of New York. Was definitely a victim of an MLM scheme at some point.
JOSH - Male, any age to play 30s -- 40s. Attractive, suave, and persuasive Conservative politician. Has a porn addiction. Think Mr. Big in season 1 of Sex and the City.
NORA - [THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST] Female, any age to play 50s – 60s. A diva if there ever was one! Bubbie to Sasha and Paul, Mother to Miranda and Claire. She is the stereotypical Bubbie/Yente who is all up in your business and a bit off her rocker but we love her anyways.
PAUL - [THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST] Male (to be played by an adult Female or AFAB actor), 12. Absolute menace to society. Was an iPad baby and is now headed down the red-pilled pipeline. Would sing "We Are Charlie Kirk" unironically.
RACHEL - [THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST] Female, any age to play 30s. Paul's mother, Miranda's sister. Thinks all ailments can be cured with the power of granola and yoga. Probably rock climbs and refuses to vaccinate her children.
