The Comrades are seeking two understudies for THE LAYOVER by Leslye Headland (Russian Doll, Sleeping With Other People, Bachelorette), directed by Drew Shirley.

About the show: Ever wonder who that stranger is sitting next to you? What is their story? What are they hiding? Shellie and Dex dare to answer these questions after their flight is delayed on a snowy Thanksgiving night. What they discover about themselves, and each other, sends both of their lives into upheaval. Can you ever really get to know somebody when you're hiding so much yourself?

Seeking the following:

1 male-identifying actor to understudy the roles of DEX and KEVIN/ARNO. Age: mid 30s to early 40s. Open ethnicity.

1 female-identifying actor to understudy to the role of LILY. Age: 9-15. Open ethnicity.

DEX- (Male-identifying, late 30's) Romantic. Cynical. Defensive. Witty. Facing commitment and permanence with terror and reluctance. A survivor. Does not function well when alone with himself. An engineer. Please note this role involves intimacy and violence, the extent of which will be coordinated by an Intimacy/Violence Director.

KEVIN/ARNO- (Male-identifying, late 30s-early 40s) KEVIN is Shellie's unemployed husband. Sells Fred's prescriptions but isn't a drug dealer. Considers himself street smart. A fighter. A dreamer. Justifies every choice he's made. Emotional. ARNO is a private detective who has seen a lot of bad stuff, and takes his job seriously. He got into this line of work to keep people safe.

LILY- (Female-identifying, 9-14) Andrea's daughter. Product of a broken home and displaced resentment. Spoiled. Emotional. Secretly wants a father and mother figure to take care of her. A good kid deep down.
