Roles Already Cast

  • Heidi — Jodi Vaccaro
  • Young Debater — Kate Edwards

Roles Available

THE LEGIONNAIRE (Male, 40-60)
An American Legion contest official who presides over Heidi’s teenage constitutional debate. The role requires clarity, authority, comic timing, and the ability to maintain the contest's structure while also allowing the play's deeper tensions to emerge. This actor should be comfortable engaging with the audience and moving between formal public presentation and more human, immediate moments.

The play itself asks for a living, present relationship with the audience, so we are looking for an actor who can be precise with text while remaining responsive and alive in the room.
