Role: Plaintiff — Emily Panelli (Female, 40, Any Race)
Emily Panelli is suing her roommate, Jason Sawyer, for $576 after items went missing from their home. Emily says Jason threw a party at their place without her permission, and during the event some of her belongings were stolen by Jason’s guests. With her 40th birthday at the center of the situation, Emily feels violated in her own home and furious that what was framed as a “celebration” turned into a loss she now has to cover.

We are casting featured participants to portray individuals involved in a real small-claims case for the unscripted TV series Equal Justice with Judge Eboni K. Williams. This role requires strong improv ability, grounded real-person energy, and the ability to bring believable emotional nuance to reenactments.

Character Overview: Emily is earnest, emotionally vulnerable, and deeply frustrated. Turning 40 is a big emotional milestone for her, and the incident hits a nerve—she feels disrespected, dismissed, and unsafe in her own space. She may struggle between wanting to be gracious about the “surprise” and needing to be firm that boundaries were crossed and she was harmed.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

• Able to portray emotional vulnerability, frustration, and indignation authentically

• Comfortable holding boundaries and delivering clear accusations without melodrama

• Strong reactive listening for tense roommate confrontation and courtroom questioning
