Singer Needed for Gig "Waitress"

(Female Identifying) Jenna is stuck in her life as an unhappily married waitress in a small town. Finds some happiness and expression through her meticulous baking of pies and her friendships with her coworkers, Dawn and Becky. 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. Has a fantastic pop/rock voice with great range. Mezzo-soprano F#3 - F5.

(Female Identifying) Dawn is the youngest of the waitresses and the newest to the diner. Endearing and genuine. 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. Has an excellent pop/rock/folk voice. Mezzo-soprano G3 - Eb5.

(Female Identifying) The oldest of the three waitresses. Becky has been at the diner the longest. Irreverent, irascible, been there - done that - and made it back. Becky has a wicked sense of humor with excellent comedic timing. Has a soulful pop voice with an excellent pop belt. Mezzo-soprano Eb3 - Eb5.

(Male Identifying) Character identifies as male. Handsome, endearing, and neurotic. Has a warm, and somewhat clumsy, manner. Jenna’s gynecologist. He has a quirky sense of humor and a big heart and, despite the fact that he’s having an affair with Jenna, he is a good person. Has impeccable comedic timing and moves well. Has a very strong pop/rock tenor that can navigate the musical style of Sara Bareilles with ease. Tenor C3 - Bb4.

(Male Identifying) A chef at the diner. A “Salt of the Earth” guy’s guy surrounded by gals. Brash, impatient, unsentimental, but somehow charming. Should have a strong pop/rock voice with great comedic chops. Has a strong contemporary baritone singing voice in the style of Sara Bareilles and has excellent comedic timing. Could possibly cover the role of Joe. B2 - G4

(Male Identifying) Eccentric, genuine and lovable. Absolutely smitten with Dawn (in a hilarious yet endearing way) after she goes on a 5-minute date with him. Quirky, incredibly persistent, yet always kind. Has excellent comedic timing. Has an excellent pop/rock tenor/baritenor sound. Tenor C3 - Bb4. Ogie’s solo is more “character operatic” in style than high in pitch.

(Male Identifying) 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 and then turn into a sobbing mess the next. Guitar playing a plus. Eb3 - G4.

(Male Identifying) Comfortable singing. The owner of the diner where Jenna, Dawn, Becky, and Cal work. A curmudgeonly man who has a soft spot for Jenna (and her pie). Gruff exterior but a warmth and kindness within. Joe is a sarcastic and no-nonsense guy with a keen ability to read people. Very funny. Baritenor B2 - G#4.
