53 roles

JENNABoth genders25-40 y.o.All ethnicities

"WAITRESS" (Female Identifying) 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. Vocal Range: F#3-F5.

DAWNBoth genders24-30 y.o.All ethnicities

"WAITRESS" (Female Identifying) She is 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. Vocal range: G3-E5.

BECKYBoth genders35-45 y.o.All ethnicities

"WAITRESS" (Female Identifying) 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. Vocal range: Eb3-E5.

DR. POMATTERBoth genders30-45 y.o.All ethnicities

"WAITRESS" (Male Identifying) Handsome, endearing, and neurotic. Has a warm, if clumsy, manner. 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 with ease. Vocal Range: Bb2-Bb4.

EARLBoth genders25-39 y.o.All ethnicities

"WAITRESS" (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. Vocal range: Eb3-G4.

OGIEBoth genders30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

"WAITRESS" (Male Identifying) 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 genders40-70 y.o.All ethnicities

"WAITRESS" (Male Identifying) The owner of the diner where Jenna, Dawn, Becky, and Cal work. A seemingly old, curmudgeonly man who has a soft spot for Jenna (and her pie), warm at heart. A sarcastically funny and no-nonsense guy with a keen ability to read people. Very funny. Vocal range: B2-G#4.

CALBoth genders40-49 y.o.All ethnicities

"WAITRESS" (Male Identifying) A chef at the diner. A “Salt of the Earth” guy’s guy surrounded by gals. Brash, impatient, unsentimental, but somehow charming. Has a strong pop/rock voice with great comedic chops. Vocal range: B2-G4.
