Joey grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and rebelled his way through high-school with Raymond as his wingman, until the day the law caught up with him. Now, after a longer prison sentence than he deserved, he feels wronged by the world and wears the chip on his shoulder like a badge of honor. Fresh out of prison, he crashes back into Raymond’s life, expecting they can pick up where they left off. With a mix of charisma and pride he tries to convince Raymond that they have both been wronged by the world. As they drift into old destructive habits, he begins to pull Raymond into a fruitless and misguided plan of revenge.

Role description

Marcel the mime, is reserved, quiet, and clearly out of place amongst his clown co-workers.

When he meets Clara, his work -life is turned upside down and he tries even harder to fit in, in a half-hearted attempt to lighten up and connect with her. But as he begins to lose his sense of self for her sake, he’s ultimately faced with the man who stares back at him in the mirror. Can he be happy staying true to himself? Special Note: In public, Marcel is mime, yet behind the clownish exterior is an emotionally truthful three-dimensional character. As such, and depending on the scene, the actor must be comfortable performing classic pantomime yet also the delivery of the emotional honesty that will reveal the man behind the makeup. Please note: as a Mime, Marcel has no dialogue, however he is the lead of the film and is in every scene. Note: Makeup will be applied to the actor. Please mention if you have allergies.

It’s like she’s in on the bad joke, as she brings Marcel out of his shell while “playing the part” with the clowns. But will the kindness she shows Marcel result in a misinterpretation of emotions? Will she figure out how to let him down easy in time to save their newly forming friendship? Note: Makeup will be applied to the actor. Please mention if you have allergies.
