7 role s
(Alto – G3-D5) A free-spirited woman low on ambition in the traditional sense, she’s on a journey of self-exploration, eager to take it all in – which looks a lot like aimlessness amid the bustle of the city. Smart, well-read, her style is almost-alternative, boasting the requisite accoutrements, without being fully committed.
(Baritone – B2-A4) Earnest and driven, he’s left his small Midwestern town to pursue his acting dream. A bit of a loner, unpolished, but a true romantic. (Cooper could read straight or gay, but either way, his sexual identity is not central to his conflict.)
(Mezzo Soprano – G3-E5) A high-powered, sexy business woman. She works and hard and plays hard and is trying desperately to balance her fear of missing out with the demands of her relationship.
(Soprano – G3-C6) A woman in her “Late-early” 30s. Independently financially secure, she is driven by a need to fill the empty space of life and a deep desire to connect, but she can’t seem to get out of her own way. A real Carol Burnett type. Lonely. A New York native and amateur singer. She speaks quickly.
(Bass-Baritone – A2-G4) Smart and skilled, his ambition lies more in having a family and making a comfortable life for them, rather than the high-flying city existence. A domestic suburbanite at heart.
STOSH, TIMO, and WALLENDIA, who may also play other ensemble roles. Tragically “hip” in a carefully crafted Williamsburg way. They are aggressively apathetic.
Street performer who uses found percussion objects. He does not speak, though others speak to him. He represents the heartbeat of the city.
