ELINOR DASHWOODMale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

The eldest Dashwood sister. Sensible; a caregiver. Intelligent and highly responsible; always tries to do the right thing. Perhaps a little too inclined to follow the rules. Much of the considerable burden of managing her family’s future falls on her shoulders. Very aware of economic and social realities; sometimes, she’s afraid to let herself hope for more than she may be able to get. Rich inner life: she feels far more than she may let on. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

MARIANNE DASHWOODFemale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

The middle Dashwood sister. Sensitive; feels everything VERY strongly. Romantic, impetuous – perhaps a little too inclined to break the rules. Smart, but prone to impulse and getting carried away by drama. Stubborn about her principles to the point of being occasionally careless about others’ feelings. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

MARGARET DASHWOODFemale18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

The youngest Dashwood sister (to play 10–13 years old). Desperate to be grown-up and included in any given melodrama. A bit sheltered but has probably read one too many romantic novels – has very definite ideas about love and romance. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

MRS. DASHWOODFemale20-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Mother to the Dashwood sisters (this role doubles with ANNE STEELE). Loving, good-natured, highly principled, protective of her daughters. An optimist; a romantic at heart. A little ignorant of the financial realities in life; was sheltered until her husband’s death. Can get a bit carried away by the drama of the moment. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

JOHN DASHWOODFemale25-44 y.o.All ethnicities

Half-brother to the Dashwood sisters (potential double with either JOHN WILLOUGHBY or SIR JOHN MIDDLETON). Half-brother from their father’s side; no blood relation to Mrs. Dashwood. Wealthy. Not a bad man, but weak-willed. Has good intentions, but is entirely subservient to his wife FANNY, whom he views as extremely charitable and wise. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

EDWARD FERRARSMale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

A gentleman (potential double with ROBERT FERRARS). Awkward, shy, fundamentally sweet, big-hearted, highly principled. Endearing. Always tries to do the right and honorable thing; perhaps a little bit too prone to following the rules. Would be in the church if he was allowed to choose a profession. A bachelor who stands to inherit a good deal of money from his wealthy mother – provided he marries correctly. Blossoms whenever he (finally) feels comfortable. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

FANNY DASHWOODFemale20-49 y.o.All ethnicities

(this role doubles with LUCY STEELE) wife to John Dashwood and sister to Edward. Wealthy; born and married into money.

Fancies herself quite charitable. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

COLONEL BRANDONMale40-49 y.o.All ethnicities

An older, very wealthy bachelor. Quiet, restrained. Highly principled and honorable. His heart was broken terribly in his past, and he’s never quite gotten over it. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

JOHN WILLOUGHBYMale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

An unusually handsome young man (potential double with JOHN DASHWOOD). By the looks of him, a true Romantic hero – dashing and irresistibly charming. Impulsive; perhaps a bit too inclined to break the rules. Has a dark side that he strives to keep hidden, but not a bad man – has made some mistakes that he’d rather not think about. Pleasure-seeking, occasionally to the point of selfishness or irresponsibility; fundamentally wants to be liked. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

SIR JOHN MIDDLETONMale40-49 y.o.All ethnicities

(potential double with JOHN DASHWOOD) a country gentleman; distant relation to Mrs. Dashwood. Son-in-law to MRS. JENNINGS, with whom he frequently conspires in their favorite occupation: matchmaking and general busybody-hood. Boisterously, cheerfully inclined to stick his nose in everything and anything; convinced that doing so is all good fun. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

MRS. JENNINGSFemale50-59 y.o.All ethnicities

A monstrously good-natured, boisterous woman; mother-in-law to SIR JOHN, mother to LADY MIDDLETON, and a terror to the countryside. Takes UNSPEAKABLE joy in spying out “secret” love affairs – often much to the surprise of the accused parties – and matchmaking. Genuinely a good-hearted, generous woman with not a pretentious or classist bone in her body. Completely and utterly indiscreet and unsubtle, even when she thinks she is being very sly. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

LUCY STEELEFemale20-49 y.o.All ethnicities

(this role doubles with FANNY DASHWOOD) a young girl from no fortune. Clever, can be quite manipulative. Always observing and adjusting tactics accordingly – almost always knows what’s going on. Very determined to marry well – it’s her only way to escape abject poverty. Inclined to hide aggression behind a mask of civility. Bit of a social climber – knows who has the most power in any given room and is not afraid to be insincere to curry favor. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

ANNE STEELEFemale20-49 y.o.All ethnicities

(this role doubles with MRS. DASHWOOD) Lucy’s sister, also from no fortune. Charitably, a very odd duck; uncharitably, an absolute nightmarish ball of flitting, manobsessed, clueless babble. Big-mouthed, unintelligent. Not good at reading social cues. “Indiscreet” is the mildest term imaginable. Her chief interest in life is beaus; her second is beaus; her third is beaus. Very cowed by her sister. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

LADY MIDDLETONFemale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

(will double with one or more of the above roles) a VERY over-bred and uptight lady; centuries of selective breeding and overcompensation for her mother’s vulgarity have turned her into a grotesque example of too much restraint. (This role may be played by one actor or shared by several.) "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

ROBERT FERRARSMale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

(potential double with EDWARD FERRARS) a very callow young man; Edward Ferrars’ younger brother. Fancies himself an incredible wit, scholar, ladies’ man, and all-around charmer. "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY"

YURIMale30-34 y.o.All ethnicities

Cuban born ballplayer. Yuri is a new arrival to the United States. He fears his talents may not carry over into Major League Baseball. Deep thinker. Cautious. Looking for guidance. "THE NATIONAL PASTIME"

OSCARMale40-44 y.o.All ethnicities

Bench coach, also Cuban. Sharp. You could say he likes to cut corners, but really, he is a survivor. Someone who has to go the extra mile to stay ahead of others. He can philosophize. "THE NATIONAL PASTIME"

JETTMale50-59 y.o.All ethnicities

General manager of team. He doesn't fit the typical baseball mold at first glance, embodying more of a Silicon Valley vibe. Obsessed with statistics, he's constantly crunching numbers. Ruthless. "THE NATIONAL PASTIME"

VALFemale30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Serves as an intelligence officer at the US Embassy in Havana. She operates under the guise of a cultural liaison. A recent transfer, her placement is a direct outcome of the Obama thaw. Val is no nonsense and never feels threatened. "THE NATIONAL PASTIME"

OCEANOMale40-49 y.o.All ethnicities

A Cuban intelligence officer working covertly as a cultural liaison. He's flirtatious, but his motives remain unclear. Mischievous by nature, he alternates between putting on a strong accent and speaking impeccable English, all part of his strategy to unsettle his adversaries. "THE NATIONAL PASTIME"

NATMale40-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Is the station chief. He's friendly and transparent, with an Ivy League education in international relations. More of an observer than a participant, Nat maintains a detached and cool demeanor. "THE NATIONAL PASTIME"

JOSEMARIAMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

A retired Cuban baseball player, was once considered the best player in Cuban history and a close confidant of Fidel Castro. He carries a melancholic air and is somewhat sentimental.
