Vivian, 37 (or so) [Open ethnicity] - appears older than she actually is.
Lilias and Petal’s mother. A heavy drinker with impeccable diction, clinging
to an idea of gentility as a way to cope with the hard realities of her
life. Vivian is an alcoholic who has never acknowledged her alcoholism -
what an absurd idea, she might say.

Lilias, 19 (or so). [Open ethnicity] Vivian’s elder daughter. Lilias is
tough but tired of being tough. She has been the only source of stability
for both her mother and sister. She resents Vivian and is protective of
Petal. Her guilt over leaving her sister a year ago brings her back.

George, 19 (or so). [Indigenous, Black, Asian, South-Asian, Middle-Eastern
or Latino] Lilias’ high school boyfriend; his love is true and he goes to
great lengths to prove it. Desperate to be seen as an adult. Head cashier at
the grocery store (the one with the cigarettes). Loves camping.

Rose, a hallucination. [Open ethnicity] Also Vivian’s sister. She appears as
a glamourous bombshell circa Hollywood’s Golden Age. She represents a part
of Vivian’s past and offers insight into Vivian’s character.

Equity members will be seen first at all open audition calls. Equity members
cast in this production will be engaged under an Equity form of contract.
CAEA members: please bring your membership card to the audition.
