Actors of all ages, ethnicities, and gender identities encouraged to submit. In reference to the character descriptions below—most characters we encounter currently are on the binary and are written with he/him or she/her pronouns and you will see that in the following descriptions. But however limiting the descriptions are, our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible and we invite gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender and non-binary actors to submit for the roles they most identify with. We will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide.

Opening November 2, 2019
Closing December 15, 2019
Caden: Male, Caucasian looking, the academic. Awkward elementary school history teacher with dramatic aspirations but no experience.
Jaxton: Male, Caucasian looking, yoga practitioner/actor. Politically correct to a fault, a big one. He's that confident guy everyone loves, but his logical PC thinking takes weird turns.
Logan: Female, Caucasian looking, the high school drama teacher that's always pushing the envelope in potentially inappropriate ways. Earnest about theater and proving herself. The straight man most of the time.
Alicia: Female, brunette Caucasian but has looks that would have been cast as ethnic in 1950's movies. Without guile. Sexy and hot, but not bright. That actress whose every script note happens to give her more lines. Ability to carry a tune necessary.
