Actors Wanted for "Iraq, But Funny" Show

SWANA, Track includes but not limited to: BULBUL - Loves the British. Believes they’re the ones who “Civilized us.”, YOUNG SNONITA, the way she once could, and plans to marry YOUNG SNONITA off for security. Sings beautifully. YONIA - grew up a sheltered village girl, helping her mom and dad farm tobacco, she is now adjusting to big city life in Baghdad with her son (YOUNG GEBBIE) and daughter (YOUNG NISHREEN).

SWANA. Track includes but not limited to: YOUNG BULBUL - High energy, bubbly life of the party, shepherdess. Loves her sheep, loves the Brits, and LOVES sharing recipes and town gossip (G-d forgive her.) Her husband (YOUNG ETOOTA) is always trying to cramp her flair, but she won’t allow it! Even when war is at the brink of her village and people are screaming, genocides can’t keep her from a good time! YOUNG NISHREEN - determined to control the narrative.

SWANA, Track includes but not limited to: YOUNG GEBBIE - mid 20s, Nishreen’s club kid brother. Tattle tale. Their mom’s (YONIA) favorite, he can do and say no wrong, (except for swearing, then he gets in trouble). He flexes supreme bro-machismo in order to stand out and be the “man of the house,” and cover the fact he’s gay. DOORARA - NISHREEN’s husband, artist, movie and book lover. Works as a carpenter to pay the bills. Was the first one to leave Iraq for America.

SWANA. Track includes but not limited to: YOUNG ETOOTA - A stern, singularly-focused Shepherd. Hates when plans change. Distrusts the British. He’s has had plenty of experience in conflicts and knows how to pack and go. Married to YOUNG BULBUL, whose fanciful hostess vibes irk him. They have two children together. YOUNG TAMER - People pleaser who loves to sew and craft. An optimist but a pushover. He’s married to the Young Snonita. Dad to Young Yonia.
