JENNABoth genders20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

(Female-presenting); A woman stuck in her life as an unhappily married waitress in a small town.

Lives her life paycheck-to-paycheck, day by day, and wants nothing more than to get away and start fresh, unbeknownst to her destructive husband, Earl. Must have a fantastic pop/rock voice with great range. "WAITRESS"

DAWNBoth genders20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

(Female-presenting); She's the youngest of the waitresses. Thick glasses, hair parted 14 centimeters to the left — eccentric is the nice way to say she’s slightly unusual, and not so slightly OCD. She sets the tables, painstakingly ensuring each salt and pepper-shaker is equidistant from the napkin holder. Must have an excellent pop/rock/folk voice. "WAITRESS"

EARLBoth genders20-39 y.o.White / Caucasian

(Male-presenting); Jenna’s husband. Peaked in high school, handsome in a gruff way, but that face is clouded with broken dreams, drowned with cheap beer. Just enough narcissism mixed with stupidity, to be a potent Molotov cocktail that can explode into unexpected anger one second. Actors auditioning for EARL would need to come prepared with a song in the vein of Elton John or a similar contemporary singer/songwriter. Guitar playing a big plus. "WAITRESS"

OGIEBoth genders30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

(Male-presenting); Strange, yet oddly lovable. Becomes slightly obsessed with Dawn (in a hilarious yet endearing way) after she goes on a 5-minute date with him.

JOEBoth genders60-79 y.o.All ethnicities

CALBoth genders40-49 y.o.All ethnicities
