Theater Casting Call for "Home Deliveries" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ADMITTED. Directors are currently in need of performers for "Home Deliveries" play. See the details below. About the project: Violet is on mat leave. She hears birds in the walls. Florence is on sick leave. She’s decided to stop taking her Prozac. Both of them are moms, tied to their young children by invisible wires of steel… while their spouses barely notice they’re alive. One day these two bored, abandoned, and dissatisfied women join forces to fight back in the most hilarious way possible: by going on a mission to seduce a string of lovers... all without walking out the front door. Catherine Léger brings us a very free, modern, smash hit adaptation of one of the most popular films in Canadian history, the 1970s erotic comedy Deux femmes en or. In a culture still obsessed with female sexuality and terrified by women’s power, what happens when two “nice girls” take full ownership of their own pleasure? How far will their quest for freedom take them? And how can they ever go back? SETTING: Present day Canadian city, a nice condo in a nice neighbourhood.

5 roles
Neither particularly flirty nor especially scruffy, she is a normal middle-class suburban woman with fond memories of a normal, slightly freer (and more unstable) youth. She aspires to read Simone de Beauvoir: instead, she lives blandly in an eco-responsible housing complex with her husband and their eleven-year-old son, Matt. She is on leave from work. She is on antidepressants. She really hates her son’s hamster.
A tired new mom, still on mat leave while nursing her six-month-old daughter Emma… which makes her feel increasingly like nothing more than a lactation machine. Her salesman husband is increasingly inattentive and indifferent… at least, to her. At the beginning of the play she is obsessed with what she is convinced is the sound of a crow in the wall of her bedroom… or is it the neighbours having sex again?
A pharmaceutical rep who spends a lot of time on the road. Charming, impeccably chic. Knows what he wants and expects to get it. Protective of his child. Even if he’s not using his property, it still belongs to him… and the same goes for his wife.
A nice guy: increasingly inattentive to Florence, but very involved with raising their 11-year-old son, Matt. As Florence explores her sexual freedom, he feels more and more like the grown-up in the room, the one who must keep his mouth shut and do whatever it takes to keep the family together. Except for, you know, showing any sexual interest in Florence whatsoever.
Benoit’s lover. As far as we know, she is absolutely liberated from all the usual fears and hang-ups and sentimentality about sex. Can respect and sympathize with other women, but not with moral orthodoxies or conventional relationships. Knows she’s desirable, strong, and smart; knows what gives her pleasure; goes out and gets it.
