Compensation: Unpaid Volunteer Work Only (Credit, Copy)

Under the Mirrorball is an intimate relationship drama exploring emotional distance, vulnerability, and the quiet ways connection can decay — not through explosive arguments, but through avoidance and emotional dishonesty.

The role of Martin has been cast.

We are currently seeking the following roles:

HELEN – Lead – Female –
Playing Age 45-60
Helen is emotionally perceptive but internally guarded. She senses the growing distance in her relationship but struggles to articulate her needs. Much of her performance relies on subtle expression and internal conflict rather than overt confrontation.
Seeking a naturalistic performer comfortable with emotionally intimate, dialogue-driven scenes.

SARAH – Supporting – Female –
Playing Age 45-55
Sarah is socially confident and outwardly warm. She provides contrast to Helen’s introspection and represents ease and emotional openness in social settings.
Strong presence and natural delivery required.

GEORGE – Supporting – Male –
Playing Age 45–55
George is relaxed and observant, often diffusing tension in group dynamics. He appears emotionally straightforward, which subtly highlights the emotional avoidance within the central relationship
