Seeking Actors Able to Portray:
- Elle Punk – female, age range 35-45. Jaded professional, emotionally worn. Elle is the only female who holds an executive position at her workplace. She has grown calloused to the misogynistic atmosphere at her job.
- Bonnie – Female, age range 25-30. Giddy, lighthearted, youthful, enthusiastic, soft femininity. Though she is dismissed by Elle, she remains optimistic and kind.
- Marie – Female, age range 30-40. Grounded, stable, welcoming, sincere, effortlessly chic. Marie maintains the impeccable front desk with ease and grace.
- Angel – Female, any age. A towering presence, warm, protective, calm, quiet. A healer. No dialogue, but a powerful force vital to the female community.
- Dan – male, age range 50+. The boss. Dan is friendly, though he has outdated perspectives with no interest in being corrected.
- Ben – male, age range 30-40. A well-intentioned man, genuine, but annoyingly “woke”.
- Tim – male, age range 30-50. Tim pushes boundaries and lacks humility, confidently stating his outlandish thoughts.
- Cat Caller – male, any age. A business man spending his spare time catcalling women. Easily angered and aggressive. He is ultimately sacrificed in a ritual. This character will wear boxer style shorts, there will be prop restraints and some fake blood.
