6 roles

IanMale50-59 y.o.All ethnicities

A veteran theatre director who couldn't care less about appearances. Cynical, controversial, and unapologetically blunt, Ian thrives on challenging everyone around him. Brilliant or completely unhinged? It's hard to tell.

LucyFemale25-29 y.o.Asian

(East Asian) Quirky, upbeat, sweet, and sincere. Lucy wears her heart on her sleeve and approaches the world with youthful optimism. She's a little naïve, and deeply eager to be seen, sometimes trying just a little too hard.

DerekMale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

One of the few straight men in the theatre company. A charming short king. Confident, flirtatious, and charismatic despite his height and average looks . He knows he's attractive and isn't shy about using his charm.

TrevorMale25-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Openly gay. Attractive, fit, and physically well-defined. Trevor takes great pride in his appearance, from skincare to fitness, and always looks polished. His personality is open to interpretation—whether understated, flamboyant, witty, reserved, or somewhere in between. We're looking for actors to bring their own unique take to the role.

EmmaFemale30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Embodies the outdoorsy lifestyle. Think granola, organic, environmentally conscious, and deeply connected to nature. She lives intentionally, values sustainability, and maintains firm personal boundaries.

OscarMale40-49 y.o.All ethnicities

The producer of the documentary. Quietly handsome in a way that grows on you the longer you know him. Intelligent, composed, and highly competent, Oscar carries himself with confidence and wisdom without ever needing to demand attention.
