Casting

Michael is an actor’s actor. A focused perfectionist, outspoken, stubborn, abrasive and frustrated at where his career hasn’t taken him. Highly intelligent and desperate to do the one thing he loves more than life itself… act. Dorothy Michaels is strong-willed, understanding, and humorous. Slightly coy, slightly vain and completely lovable.

An actor at a crossroad in her life. Focused, self-aware and self-assured. She masks her pain and longs to connect.

Michael's ex-girlfriend, now a friend. She’s neurotic, pessimistic, self-deprecating, childish, and easily flummoxed. She makes her anxieties known incredibly loudly and really just wants to be happy.

A self-obsessed actor with a limited wit. A firm believer in his own hype who can’t imagine anyone not being attracted to him.

Michael's roommate. A sardonic realist who lacks the ambition and drive to live up to his potential. The voice of reason that swirls just outside the eye of Michael's chaos. Jeff sees the humor of situations and has no reluctance to point out people’s flaws – even his own.

A levelheaded producer. Experienced and the voice of sanity and reason in a swirling pool of crazy. She is always a beat ahead of everyone and is very New York.

Michael’s overworked agent. Always to the point, he plays the game, but hates it.

An incredibly successful director. He demands respect and is often disrespectful in return.

The composer of Juliet's Curse.

The lyricist of Juliet's Curse.​
