Honoring the show’s themes of family and friendship, casting will not necessarily be bound by gender identity; our focus and goal is to promote the true life and feeling of the characters.:

 

Robert: Transgender man; a wiry, electric man in his fifties. If there is a patriarch of the family, he is it. He can appear to be a wide-eyed child and a wise old prophet all at once. 

 

Lola: Transgender woman; a city woman in her mid-forties, somewhat uncomfortable in her own skin. She is still relatively in the closet in her professional life. She has been dating Robert for a while now, but has yet to meet his found family.

 

Jackson: Transgender man; Jackson could be considered Robert’s adopted child in a different world. Jackson is a mischievous character full of passion and warmth; however, he struggles with a deep resentment of the world around him. Late thirties, early forties.

 

Carly: Transgender woman; raised a Catholic school kid, Carly is a tough, proud, feminine spirit. She exudes confidence. Carly is Jackson's girlfriend and has yet to really ingratiate herself with Jackson's friends. Late twenties, early thirties.

 

Sam: Transgender man; along with his wife Melanie has the most heart of all the characters in the show. A mechanic and builder by trade, he is gentle, sympathetic, and almost larger than Life. Late 30s early 40s.

 

Melanie: Cisgender woman; Sam's wife, she's funny and almost enigmatic. She's fairly guarded with the outside world and protective of her husband. She doesn’t feel the same resentment that Jackson holds - she's simply aware. Forties.

 

Storytellers: a troupe of spirited individuals who create the world of the show, playing different people who interact with the main characters and help guide the story.
