SEEKING NON-AEA UNDERSTUDIES FOR:

LUCY GREEN - THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST. SEEKING UNDERSTUDY ONLY. 50s-60s. Female identifying.
The wife. And don’t ever call her a trophy wife, despite the immense pride she
takes in how she looks and the success she portrays to the world. She is witty, funny, highly intelligent,
and chews men up in the cutthroat world of finance. Lucy was #1 in her law school she had the pick of
any career path. After meeting Jerry, she chose the world of big finance, where together, as a team, they
set out to conquer the world. But the world had other plans and in their efforts to both be the “best,” she
and Jerry have grown apart. That separation has undermined her prior unstoppable confidence. And that
flaw in her armor sets her up for making one of the worst decisions of her life – bringing a random guy
home from a bar.

JERRY GREEN - THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST. SEEKING UNDERSTUDY ONLY. 50s-60s. Male identifying.
The husband. The epitome of a New York finance professional. He thrives on the demanding,
high stakes world in both work and his personal life. Jerry embraces the culture of well-fitted designer
suits and recognizable accessories. He’s witty, charming, popular, and has for years been slated to be the
next “King Of New York.” But he hasn’t yet closed a gargantuan, billion-dollar deal. And he’s been trying
for 30 years. But tonight, he’s finally done it. He’s closed the biggest merger deal in financial history and
he’s ready to celebrate.

SHAUN - THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST. SEEKING UNDERSTUDY ONLY. 20s. Male-identifying. He’s
good looking, charming and in very good physical shape. Despite his dalliance this evening, he’s
engaged to be married. So why does he pick up Lucy at a bar and go home with her? His excuse? He
gets lonely because his finance, a successful woman in her own right, lives and works in another city. But
what should have been a dine & dash one night stand, turns out to be an encounter Shaun never
expected – a night where he is held accountable for his poor decisions.
