2 roles

JAMESBoth genders50-69 y.o.All ethnicities

MALE-IDENTIFYING. James has over 25 years of sobriety. He is easy-going, likeable and deeply invested in helping others. Requires excellent comic timing and the ability to navigate rapidly shifting emotional terrain. Beneath the easygoing exterior, there is a degree of internal conflict and a darkness that he is not always capable of keeping in check.

LUKABoth genders25-35 y.o.All ethnicities

MALE-IDENTIFYING. Luka is newer to recovery and struggling to rebuild his life. Confident, funny and disarmingly honest, Luka’s storytelling bravado and, what seems at the outset a lack of sophistication, belies a deep capacity for vulnerability and introspection. Requires strong dramatic instincts and the ability to balance humor with emotional depth.
