With all the discussion about diversity and inclusion in entertainment, what action is being taken to ensure opportunities for entertainment professionals with disabilities? The lack of representation both on screen and behind the camera means that millions of people are unable to see themselves in the media today. The panel will shine a light on the evolving landscape in Hollywood, as vanguards work tirelessly behind the scenes to make opportunities more inclusive and bring more diverse stories to the front of the camera.

Synopsis: Lauren and Keisha’s friendship is “us against the world.” They’re 17 and live on Chicago’s largely Black south side. When Lauren is forced to reveal a tightly-held secret to Keisha - that she’s involved with their English teacher - the two friends must take matters into their own hands in a landscape where the only thing they can truly count on is each other.

Character Breakdown: (Looking for perfomers who are able to portray the following:)

LAUREN: 17, Black, F. Studious and introverted with a rich inner life. Intelligent, but self-conscious. A latchkey kid and only-child raised by a single mom who works nights, Lauren learned independence young. Has had a part-time job since sophomore year, and longs to be accepted to a prestigious college as a way of proving her worth.  Feels deeply but mostly keeps how she feels to herself, along with a big secret: she’s involved with her English teacher.

OCEAN: 17/18, BIPOC. Nonbinary masc. They/them. Transfer student who’s into quietly defying social structures. Magnetic and grounded. A young David Bowie or Prince before either grew into themselves. Perceptive, thoughtful, and careful. Strongly relates to Lauren’s reserved nature. Has a history battling depression and self-harm. Has earned their wisdom and the scars it came with. Plays Hamlet in the school’s spring production.

OMAR: 17/18, Black, M. Kind-hearted and not particularly cool. Super smart - just got accepted to MIT. Carries a torch for Lauren, but is oblivious to how much Keisha likes him. (Also reads ANTHONY).

ALICIA: 17/18, Black, Latinx, Afro-Latinx, F. Alpha wanna-be. Besties with Ashley and always follows her lead. (Also reads CAFETERIA STUDENT 2, CREW 2, and PARTY-GOER 1). 

This event is only open to paid-up SAG-AFTRA members in good standing (paid thru Oct. 31, 2023, or in compliance with the May 2023 dues relief extension).  Parents/guardians of performers under 18 years old are welcome.
