8 roles

JOSÉMale18-30 y.o.African-American Latino / Hispanic White / Caucasian Other

Dominican, magnetic and driven, a shooting star burning through every space he’s in. Angie calls him Little One and there’s something delicate and petite about him that contrasts with the incredible drive within him. He is a MAJOR talent. He’s going to change the way we move, the way we party, the way we live, but first he’s got to push through grief and self-doubt. A strong voguer and ballet dancer.

MARIOMale22-38 y.o.Latino / Hispanic

Slick, confident, a boy with a professional sheen; the PT Barnum of the L.E.S. Mario comes across as brash and sometimes dickish, maybe only looking out for himself, but if he was a white man in this time they’d give him the keys to the Stock Market and elect him President. He feels out of place in both the ballroom world and in his day job on Wall Street, but he masks it with bravado and ambition.

LUNABoth genders18-30 y.o.Latino / Hispanic

A transfemme, with a raw beauty that evolves into glamor. When we meet her she’s hungry for more, driven to desperation by poverty. She’s shrewd but she’s still getting her sea legs.

ANGIEBoth genders22-26 y.o.African-American Latino / Hispanic White / Caucasian Other

24, Puerto Rican and transfemme. The Mother of the House. An Icon even in her own time. She’s got everyone under her eye, but she’s still a young woman coming into her own. Commanding and driven, wildly funny and deadly serious at once, someone who is bigger than her time and her circumstance.

SHORTSTACKBoth genders18-30 y.o.African-American

Transfemme, the life of the party, would be on Project Runway if it existed in the 80s and if anyone gave a bitch a damn chance. Finds the House, but struggles to define her place, Lives in Venus’s shadow, Jealous of José, Questions whether she should leave.

VENUSBoth genders18-30 y.o.Latino / Hispanic

Transfemme, radiant and impossibly magnetic; someone who walks into a room and instantly shifts the temperature. Venus is chasing beauty, softness, visibility, and the right to be fully seen as herself.

HECTORMale30-39 y.o.African-American Latino / Hispanic White / Caucasian Other

Puerto Rican, elegant, visionary, and deeply charismatic; the original architect of the House and someone who could see possibility in people long before they saw it in themselves. Hector dreamed bigger than the world allowed and built ballroom not just as escape, but as legacy, protection, and chosen family. Hector becomes part memory, part mythology, and part ancestral force woven into the DNA of the House itself.

ENSEMBLEBoth genders18-40 y.o.All ethnicities

The ensemble portrays the living world of ballroom culture: House members, partygoers, rivals, lovers, club kids, ghosts, and the spirit of the House itself as it evolves from an underground refuge into an enduring legacy. Seeking bold, high-energy performers with strong movement ability, distinct personalities, and commanding stage presence. (STRONG SINGER/DANCERS – EXCELLENT VOGUERS AND MOVERS ENCOURAGED).
