Character Information
As a writer, I am dedicated to creating diverse worlds onstage. Some of the most defining moments of my life involve me seeing myself represented onstage, television, or in literature. Because of this, I highly recommend casting this play diversely in regards to race, gender identity, and disability. You won’t be depicting the real world if you ignore this request.
This is acknowledging, however, that some roles are specific in the way they must be casted. In this play, the following roles have these limitations:
| ANNA and FLORENCE are to be portrayed as a sapphic relationship, and should not be played by men.
