"Eureka Day" Stage Play Casting Actors

Mid-50s. Warm and Gracious. Moved to Berkeley after college when her then-boyfriend now-husband, started graduate school at UC Berkeley. Raising her family and nurturing the school is her life’s work, and fully entwined. Once her youngest was in school she started working part-time as a life coach, after being encouraged to it by so many friends who she’d helped through difficult times. Has a home worth four million dollars but thinks of herself as “comfortable” rather than “wealthy.”

Black or biracial. A joiner. Her parents were in the Foreign Service. She grew up overseas and had gone to eight different schools by the time she graduated from high school. This made her skilled at landing in a new environment, figuring out the rules, and putting other people at ease. Her wife is from Berkeley and always wanted to come back, so they moved nine months ago from the East Coast. Isn't sure how much she loves living here, but is working hard to convince herself she does.

Mid-30s, Biracial Japanese/White (describes herself as Hapa). Berkeley native. Wry sense of humor. Went to UC Berkeley and has never lived anywhere else or wanted to. A landscape architect, which she’s good at but a little bored by. A year after the end of a tortured on again off-again eight-year relationship, became a single mother by choice, of Olivia. When her daughter was young, Meiko’s mother was effectively a co-parent, but less so now.
