SEEKING DALLAS LOCAL ACTORS:
BECKY: Female, early 40s-early 50s, any ethnicity. The oldest of the three waitresses. Irreverent, irascible, been there, made it back, and somehow kept her forward and sometimes wicked sense of humor with excellent comedic timing. Has a soulful pop voice with an excellent pop belt. MUST BE DALLAS LOCAL.
DR. POMATTER: Male, 30s-early 40s, any ethnicity. Handsome, endearing, and neurotic. Has a warm, if clumsy, matter. Jenna’s gynecologist with whom an unexpected extramarital affair is born. Has a quirky sense of humor and a big heart, despite the fact that he’s contributing to the affair. Has impeccable comedic timing and moves well. Has a very strong pop/rock tenor that can navigate the musical style of Sara Bareilles with ease. MUST BE DALLAS LOCAL.
EARL: Male, 20s-30s, white. Jenna’s husband. Peaked in high school, handsome in a gruff way, but that face is clouded with broken dreams, drowned with cheap beer. Just enough narcissism mixed with stupidity, to be a potent Molotov cocktail that can explode into unexpected anger one second and then turn into a sobbing mess the next. Publicly he’s all charm, but privately, Jenna gets the brunt of his unhappiness. Guitar playing a plus. MUST BE DALLAS LOCAL.
CAL: Male, 40s, any ethnicity. A chef at the diner. A guy’s guy surrounded by gals. Brash, impatient, unsentimental, but somehow charming. Has a strong pop/rock voice with great comedic chops. Has a strong contemporary baritone singing voice in the style of Sara Bareilles and excellent comedic timing. MUST BE DALLAS LOCAL.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE: Female, 40s-50s, any ethnicity. Strong vocalist and mover. Adept with tight harmonies. MUST BE DALLAS LOCAL.
MALE ENSEMBLE: Male, 40s-60s, any ethnicity. Strong vocalist and mover. Adept with tight harmonies. MUST BE DALLAS LOCAL.
Storyline: Based on the 2007 film of the same name, Waitress tells the story of Jenna Hunterson, a baker and waitress in an abusive relationship with her husband, Earl. After Jenna unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she begins an affair with her doctor, Dr. James Jim Pomatter. Looking for ways out of her troubles, she sees a pie baking contest and its grand prize as her chance.
