41 roles

JENNABoth genders20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

(Female-presenting); A woman 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. "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. Has an excellent pop/rock/folk voice. "WAITRESS"

BECKYBoth genders36-54 y.o.African-American

(Female-presenting); The oldest of the three waitresses. Irreverent, irascible, been there, made it back, and somehow kept her forward and sometimes wicked sense of humor with excellent comedic timing. Has a soulful pop voice with an excellent pop belt. "WAITRESS"

DR. POMATTERBoth genders30-44 y.o.All ethnicities

(Male-presenting); Handsome, endearing, and neurotic. Has a warm, if clumsy, matter. Jenna’s gynecologist with whom an unexpected extramarital affair is born. Has a quirky sense of humor and a big heart, despite the fact that he’s contributing to the affair. Has impeccable comedic timing and moves well. Has a very strong pop/rock tenor that can navigate the musical style of Sara Bareilles. "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 and then turn into a sobbing mess the next. Actors auditioning for EARL should come prepared with a song in the vein of Elton John or a similar contemporary singer/songwriter. Guitar playing a big plus. "WAITRESS"

CALBoth genders40-49 y.o.All ethnicities

(Male-presenting); A chef at the diner. A “Salt of the Earth” guy’s guy surrounded by gals. Brash, impatient, unsentimental, but somehow charming.
