Olive is a successful television producer. She is intelligent, attractive and wisecracking, with a good sense of humor – and she’s a complete slob when it comes to her surroundings. She has an encyclopedic understanding of sports, is a complete pushover for her ex-husband, and a good friend.

Olive Madison

Sylvie is desperately trying to stop smoking, and so sucks on lollipops or chews gum. She can get irritated with her friends, but has a good sense of humor, especially about her husband.

Sylvie

Renee is Sylvie’s best friend. She can be very plain-spoken, especially when she points out Olive’s failings as a hostess, and then Flo’s. She is single and dating a doctor.

Renee

Manolo is handsome, very well groomed, and Spanish. He is every woman’s dreamdate and showers both Olive and Flo with attention. He must have good comic timing, as he gets VERY emotional. He is sensitive and appreciates Florence’s sensitivity.

Manolo Costazuela

Florence is attractive, very well groomed, neat and has just broken up with her husband. She takes herself very seriously, likes to clean, decorate and cook and is very good at all three. Flo is also intelligent, warm-hearted (in her own way), and has no sense of humor (at least about herself) – she does NOT make jokes. She can also, without meaning to, make Olive feel guilty.

Florence Unger

Mickey is a police officer, who is down-to-earth, plain talking, and has a good understanding of people. Sometimes she can take the “police bit” too far and she tries very hard to be in control of all situations.

Mickey

Vera is very sweet, very nice, somewhat spacey, and, although quite smart, is often a step or two behind her friends. She’s very funny but doesn’t realize it. She is married to Harry.

Vera

Jesus is Manolo’s younger brother, who is also very handsome, well-groomed, excellent posture, very romantic, and he also gets very emotional, and truly appreciates Florence.

"The Trace Disappeared After Him" Play Needs Performers

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Seeking actors to play roles in "Mudflap Girl" play. More details are below.

About the project:
Since 1971, an iconic image of a silhouetted woman has moved from truck mudflaps into popular culture. In six monologues we see how she has been perceived through the eyes of people who live in different decades. Mudflap Girl has at different times been considered a reflection of male self-image, symbolic of declining family values, and a feminist figure. However, even as an empowered woman, her identity has been problematic. Is she a mainstream icon or an unrealistic representation of the female form? Is she more than a single dimensional figure based on her appearance. What is her story? Most mysteriously, who exactly is she?

Rate:
This is an amateur production and there will not be monetary compensation, so this is suited to non-union actors. 

Additional information:
"Mudflap Girl"will play at the 2023 One Act Play Festival in late March. Inline with the festival rules.
There are two roles available, each one is about a two minute monologue.

When applying, please submit a head shot and resume.

1990s.
A teenager who represents the cumulative efforts of second-wave feminism in the late 1990s and is aware that she is already being swept up in the third wave. She is confident about expressing her views. As an older teenager, she is particularly keen on embracing the sexual liberation that is new to her generation and reclaiming symbols that have historically been considered sexist and derogatory.

Teenager

2010s.
A young man, in his twenties, whose world view has benefited from fourth wave feminism. He has been invited into the conversation and is keen to make a statement contrasting current perspectives with those a decade ago. He is pragmatic and pessimistic and instead of focusing on the progress made by women through decades, he focuses on how far there is to go.
