Are you ready for the role of a lifetime?

Step into the audition room. In DOTTER, modern dating is stripped of its romantic facade and laid bare as the grueling, transactional Hollywood audition it truly is. Our manic, high-status Casting Director, is running an open call to cast the ultimate Lead: a Husband. Armed with impossible specs, somatic checks, and comedic chemistry reads, she is putting the audience to the test. Do you have the “Jeong” to pass the callback?

But beneath the clinical clipboard and the sharp, interactive satire lies a profound psychological drama. As the auditions progress, the sterile safety of the casting room begins to crack, revealing a deep maternal wound—a frayed umbilical cord, the burden of being a first-generation “Success Story,” and the phantom grief of a daughter left behind.

Alternating between manic theatrical clowning and raw, poetic storytelling, The Casting Call explores what happens when love has historically been modeled as a transaction. It’s a hilarious, heartbreaking examination of attachment, legacy, and the courage it takes to finally drop the script and ask: Can you handle Tuesday?
