Character Breakdown
***All characters will use ASL, spoken English, or both. Deaf and hearing actors are welcome.
​
Corie Bratter: Female, 20-30, Hearing with fluent ASL. A free-spirited and energetic young woman deeply in love with her husband, Paul. She is optimistic, adventurous, and often acts on impulse, leading to entertaining and chaotic situations.
​
Paul Bratter: Male, 20-30, Deaf. A more reserved and practical lawyer who takes his job seriously and often finds himself caught between his wife's desires for excitement and his own need for stability.
​
Ethel Banks: Female, mid to late 60s, Deaf. Corie's mother and a widow. She is portrayed as a slightly more conservative and traditional character who often clashes with Corie's carefree nature. However, Ethel's love for her daughter shines through, and she adds a touch of wisdom and humor to the lives around her.
​
Victor Velasco: Male, mid to late 60s, Hearing with basic sign language. The Bratter's eccentric neighbor who lives in the attic. He is a charming and flamboyant character whose humorous interactions and extravagant lifestyle expose the contrasts between his and the Bratter's more conventional one.
​
Harry Pepper: Any gender, any adult age, Deaf or Hearing. The Bratter's telephone repair person who unexpectedly becomes entangled in their lives. This is a friendly and down-to-earth character who provides some comic relief and adds an element of surprise to the storyline.
​
***Note: Only 2–3 roles will be Deaf; other characters may be hearing or signing actors.
​
Stipend
All cast members will be paid a stipend of $500–$1,000, depending on role and time commitment.
