| Job Description: | On the eve of winter break, a depressive insomniac undergraduate makes the trip from his rural liberal arts college in Connecticut to his family in the suburbs of Philadelphia, along with his self-assured sort-of-girlfriend and their high school acquaintance, caught between two places that don’t quite feel like home.
BUG (early 20s, he/him): Once a promising varsity baseball player, Bug is searching for meaning in this new environment and hasn’t found much. He’s charming, soft-spoken, but self-absorbed, with a flare for self-pitying dramatics. THOMASIN (early 20s, she/her): High school was a nightmare for her; college is a sigh of relief. She’s smart, sensitive, flirtatious, and firmly aware of her boundaries, with real reservations about Bug’s myopic nature. DANNY (early 20s, any): A confidante to Thomasin and a foil to Bug, Danny is strange, straight-forward, and an effortless social butterfly. If you’re interested in auditioning for these roles, send your name, headshot, and reel to didmarylearnsomethingnew@gmail.com for self-tape instructions. The deadline is October 23, 2026.
