CASTING NOTICE – THE RECIPE BOX

SYNOPSIS: Emerson Collins stars as a college professor whose husband leaves him while also leaving behind his outspoken, whiskey-loving, gambling-addicted mother.

ROLES AVAILABLE

JOAH BAILESS (Mid-30s, Any Race)

Lou Wanda’s attractive, successful, and emotionally conflicted son. After years of managing his mother’s chaos, he struggles with exhaustion, resentment, and his own need to feel seen and alive again.
OONA LA VECK (40s,Any Race)

A bold, theatrical, no-filter professor with a fierce intellect and a larger-than-life personality. A loyal friend and confidante, she challenges the people she loves with sharp humor, honesty, and care.
