6 roles
A gay man who lives with his step-sister Sonia. He took care of their aging parents over a long time and didn’t do much of what he’d like to have done with his life, but is resigned, more or less, to his lot in life. He acts the peacemaker between his two sisters. Seeking a very strong actor, great with language and timing, excellent comedic skills.
Vanya’s adopted sister living with him. Discontent, upset, regretful. Never had a romantic life. Volatile, and angry that her pretty sister, Masha, has had a life. Must be a very strong comedic actress with great language skills and wide emotional range. Ability to impersonate Maggie Smith is a bonus.
Vanya’s other sister. Glamorous and successful actress who goes gallivanting around the world. A bit grandiose, but also charming. Has had five failed marriages and has recently taken up with a young actor, Spike. Has been paying everybody’s bills.
An aspiring actor. Masha’s new companion. Sexy, self-absorbed boy-toy. Friendly, charming, always seductive, attractive and is very well built. Hardcore golden retriever energy. Seeking a strong comedic actor also good at physical comedy. Note: he does traipse around in only his underwear for part of the show.
Lovely, sincere would-be actress, visiting her aunt and uncle next door to Vanya and Sonia. Star-struck and energetic in her enthusiasm. Responds to Vanya and is kind to him.
Eccentric housekeeper and soothsayer, she often bursts into prophecy, her diction sounding like Greek tragedy mixed with contemporary thoughts and references. Her seeing of the future is somewhat truthful, though not always 100% accurate. She often criticizes her employers, Vanya and Sonia, but at the core she wants to help them. Verbal dexterity with great comedic skills necessary.
