About the play:

Clearing is a coming of age dramedy about body image and female
friendships. The play explores the pressure that society places on women
and what happens when that pressure becomes too much to bear.

Character Breakdowns: **All roles are open to actors of any ethnicity**

Jess: Early-mid 20s. A new employee at an athletic apparel store. A dancer
who's not dancing anymore. Smart, sensitive, but afraid to assert herself.
A little bit of a follower. She's new to yoga, but she's a natural--she's
always expressed herself best through movement. Lost; searching.

Clare: Mid-late 20s. A manager at an athletic apparel store. Cult-leader
charismatic. Warm and winning, but with an iron backbone. An extremely
poised, confident yogi and leader. Always knows exactly what to say; always
on. Never had an awkward phase.

Agnes: Early-mid 20s.  An employee at the athletic apparel store, and
Jess's best friend from college. An artist whose apartment is probably full
of plants. Passionate, moral, and unafraid to speak her mind.
Unself-consciously alternative; self-consciously into astrology.

**This role has already been cast**

Carly: Mid 20s. An employee at the athletic apparel store. Biting, guarded,
and status-conscious, but sometimes has the capacity to shower you with
affirmation and fun. From money. Extremely loyal to her ride or dies and
deadly serious about how many Instagram followers she has. Has always had
more guy friends than girl friends.

Becca: Mid 20s. An employee at the athletic apparel store. Sweet, effusive,
and achingly vulnerable. Desperately wants to be included but pretty much
never has been. Her mom is her best friend. Hiding some very serious pain
beneath her bubbly exterior. The friend who you always forget to BCC on
party invitations.
