19 roles

IRINA ARKADINAFemale50-69 y.o.All ethnicities

An accomplished actress, Arkadina is fiercely protective of her career and reputation. She has always lived a non-traditional bohemian life while taking care of herself and Constantine, as a single mother and artist who has climbed the ranks and achieved great success. She deeply fears aging or becoming irrelevant, her relationship with Trigorin is more about retaining status, though she respects him deeply. "SEAGULL"

CONSTANTINEFemale26-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Constantine is Arkadina’s daughter, a sensitive, passionate aspiring playwright searching for her place in the world. She is queer and fiercely creative, yearning for recognition and validation from her mother and the world at large. As did many gay woman of the time, she has taken on a male name, and presents more masculine in her dress. She has quietly found acceptance or at the very least tolerance from her family and the bohemian circles that she was brought up in. "SEAGULL"

TRIGORINMale36-59 y.o.All ethnicities

A successful and charismatic writer, Trigorin is Arkadina’s lover, both captivated by and detached from the people around him. He embodies a paradox of being intensely admired yet personally unfulfilled, feeling constrained by his public persona and often haunted by self-doubt. He stands a little outside his life, always writing in his mind. "SEAGULL"

SORINMale60-79 y.o.All ethnicities

Arkadina’s older brother, Sorin is kind-hearted and gentle, with a nostalgic longing for the life he never lived. Despite his poor health and limited achievements, he remains hopeful, expressing a wistful desire for love, freedom, and excitement. Sorin is sympathetic to Constantine’s struggles, sharing her sense of isolation and dissatisfaction with the constraints of country life. "SEAGULL"

NINAFemale18-25 y.o.All ethnicities

Innocent, ambitious, and impressionable, Nina is eager to escape her provincial life, drawn to the idea of artistic fame and glamour. Nina was swept up in Constantine’s passion for the theater and for her and yet with Arkadina and Trigorin’s arrival that bubble is burst, as their success lures her and she falls for Trigorin. Nina is idealistic and romantic, misbelieving the possibility of the complexities of the reality of relationships and artistic careers. "SEAGULL"

MASHAFemale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Pragmatic yet deeply melancholic, Masha is gay and closeted, and masks her unhappiness with biting wit and cynicism. She’s passionately in love with Constantine, knowing that her feelings will never be returned, and that perhaps she would never even be brave enough to live that life, who knows, she’d never have a chance. Resigned to her circumstances, she decides to marry Medvedenko, though it offers little solace. "SEAGULL"

MEDVEDENKOMale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

A schoolteacher of modest means, Medvedenko is practical, hardworking, and perpetually concerned with money. He is in love with Masha, drawn to her grounded straight-forwardness. Medvedenko’s straightforward nature and focus on daily struggles make him an outsider to the more romantic and artistic aspirations around him. Despite his simplicity, he has a quiet persistence, often expressing frustration with the constraints of poverty. "SEAGULL"

SHAMRAEVMale50-69 y.o.All ethnicities

The boisterous and opinionated estate manager, Shamraev is practical and occasionally overbearing, especially in matters of estate management. He takes pride in his work, often clashing with Arkadina, whom he feels does not appreciate his role. He’s married to Polina, is father to Masha (he believes), though he is basically oblivious to the struggles within his own family. "SEAGULL"

POLINAFemale40-59 y.o.All ethnicities

Polina is caught between duty to her husband, her father Shamraev, and her love for Dr. Dorn, with whom she has had a long-standing affair. She longs to be in a real, monogamous relationship with Dorn, and is tortured by knowing she has been one of his many lovers. She clings to him and their relationship as her hope for happiness, and her self-esteem has suffered within the relationship. "ENRON"

DR. DORNMale50-69 y.o.All ethnicities

An intelligent, charismatic doctor, Dorn is respected and well-liked by the household. He is perceptive, nonjudgmental, and often plays the role of confidant.
