Who they’re looking for

Chicago area actors

Reggie Hoops

Playing age: mid-30s

Female, Black, Irish, & Puerto Rican. Obsessive about the game and her love. Athletic. Competitive, but believes sacrifice for the greater good is the key to success in all walks of life. Built her whole life around the game of basketball; trying to figure out how to rebuild a life out of the game.

  • Athletic

Bells

Playing age: early-30s

Female, Asian-American. Reggie's wife. Vibrant. Boss energy and her electricity with Reggie is out of this world. Her rhythm is likely much faster than Reggie's.

Muncie

Playing age: early-30s

Male, Black, Irish, and Puerto Rican. Reggie's brother. He is a full on mess and we love him. The story in many ways hinges on this. He's as honest as he is ridiculous.

Rafa

Playing age: mid-30s

Male, Latino. Reggie's one-time flame. He's a bad decision that everyone in the audience should want to make. Charisma. Sex appeal. He's got nothing but luck on his side.

Iz

Playing age: late 50s; flashbacks in her 20s and early 50s

Female, Irish & Puerto Rican. Reggie's mother. Impulsive. Rule breaker and boundary pusher. She loves her people. Also appears in flashbacks in her 20s and early 50s.

Ben

Playing age: 20s and early 50s in flashback

Male, Black. Appears only in flashback in his 20s and early 50s. Reggie's father. Family first. He does what he has to do for the people he loves.

Playing age, Equity, understudy… what do these mean?

Playing age is how old a character appears, which may differ from your own age. Equity is the actors’ union; check each theatre’s eligibility rules. An understudy learns a role to perform when the main actor is unavailable.

What does it pay?

$550/wk
