Unless specifically noted, all roles are open to all regardless of race or ethnicity.

• Please note that The Birds contains explicit language, situational horror, and references to the threat of sexual assault, although no sexual assault is depicted onstage. The cast will tell much of the story through in-depth rehearsal with "intention through stillness and silence" and the paralyzing fear of things that might or might not be there. The stakes are Life-or-Death..
• No dialects, other than Standard American, will be used.

• Diane – (famale identifying, plays 40s-50s) The narrator of the piece. Begins as the most personable and composed inhabitant of the house, but turns into the most ruthless. An author, complex, smart, generally a rule-follower, would choose science over religion, lonely, slightly judgmental, insomnic, has a grown daughter, full of pain and fear and doubt - but covers it well.
• Nat – (male identifying, plays 40s-50s) Even in the desperate attempt to survive and the suffocating atmosphere of the house, Nat retains a certain charisma and sex appeal. A coward at times and an adventurer at other times, has an "ignorance is bliss" philosophy, lives on the verge of personal collapse.
• Julia – (female identifying, plays early 20s) Free-spirited, rule-breaker, smoker, energetic, outgoing, a force to be reckoned with, either wise beyone her years or an amazing swindler. In order to survive, she will do anything: lie, kill, or deceive. Unknowingly or not, she drives a wedge between Nat and Diane.
• Tierney – (male identifying, plays 50s) A neighboring farmer. Blue-collar type, threatening appearance, lonely, tries to convince Diane to leave with him. One excellent scene of dialogue.
