Nav/Jason/Ryan
NAV: 18 to 30, pious, insightful, and mentor-like cousin to Celebrity. JASON: Minor role but meaningful. RYAN: 20's, poetic Canadian boy in a tender same-sex relationship with Celebrity. Ideal for actors with subtle emotional range and deep sensitivity
Vai/Dayal/Buddy
Versatile actor to play multiple complex roles: VAI: Age 30, layered and enigmatic. DAYAL: 45, strong, caring Indo-Canadian, a father figure, but torn by his desires. BUDDY: 35, sinister paedophile with a predatory edge. TANTRIC: (Optional) A mystical presence; spiritual & intense. Requires a performer with a wide emotional range, physicality, and ability to shift between darkness and vulnerability.
PRAV/Shobha's Father
PRAV: 20's, ambitious, brutal, limp, and trapped in the drug world. SHOBHA’S FATHER: A complex patriarchal figure. Actor should portray menace, emotional detachment, and layered masculinity.
Radha/Shobha's Mother/Principal
RADHA: South Asian - Indo-Canadian woman balancing work, home, and inner surrender. SHOBHA’S MOTHER: Traditional and stern. PRINCIPAL: A brief but strong presence. Actor must convey maternal strength, worry, and warmth with ease across roles
Kasey
Kasey is withdrawn, guarded, but her silence holds weight. She’s endured the loss of her family for harbouring an alien. Beneath the blank stares and clipped responses is someone aching for connection. She doesn’t want to reintegrate into society after serving her sentence; she wants meaning, and she'll find it again.
The Manager
Polished, performatively warm, quietly menacing. The Manager is the embodiment of customer service. He smiles while he looks down on you. He wants compliance dressed as rehabilitation. His tone is patronizing, his charm uncanny, and his power absolute in the room.
Female Blackjack Dealer
MOTION CAPTURE. All ethnicities and body types. Expressive, with the ability to convey a wide range of emotions. Experience as a real blackjack dealer is a plus!
Principle Johnson
A dry, deadpan school administrator who is just trying to survive the chaos. She’s not overly stern, but she has seen things. Once an idealist, now clinging to reality with sarcasm and iced coffee. A strong comedic presence—think Catherine O’Hara energy but grounded in a public school setting. She serves as both comic relief and a reluctant voice of reason.
LIV
LIV is sharp-tongued, unapologetic, and way too smart for the way she uses it. She’s the kind of teen who walks into a room and instantly clocks the power dynamics — then flips them with a smirk. She's a verbal sniper, armed with Gen Z sarcasm, and no one (not even the coach) is safe from her commentary. But beneath the armour of memes, eye-rolls, and side-glances is a girl who wants to win — and who has been underestimated more times than she can count. LIV isn’t the loudest in the room, but she’s the most cutting. She’s not afraid to call out double standards, especially when it comes to gender, race, or how the girls’ team is treated compared to the boys. She delivers truth with comedy, and her timing is razor sharp.
Jason
JASON is the school’s golden boy — or at least, he thinks he is. He’s confident, charismatic, and a little too comfortable with how things have always been. A senior on the boys’ wrestling team, Jason sees himself as a natural leader, even if no one else elected him. He's not a bad guy — he's just been rewarded his whole life for showing up and playing the part. Jason doesn’t consider himself sexist or biased… but he’s the kind of guy who talks over the girls in the gym and doesn’t realize it. His confidence is occasionally charming, often annoying, and occasionally challenged — especially when the girls start proving they deserve the same spotlight. He represents the status quo, and by the end, it starts to crack.
Tiny Guitar Kyla
Woman, 27-35 Description: We wish for A Black or Latina woman that could look like a metal head. But open to all
Zero Percent Anthony
Man, Mid 30s Description: We wish for A South Asian or Middle Eastern , 33 years old-ish man with a scruffy look. But open to all
ALEKSANDRA
Female. 18-28. Polish Canadian. Anxious and chronically overwhelmed, she battled her self-diagnosis, unmedicated ADHD, something that both complicates her world and heightens her gift for turning into the emotions of others. Compassionate, sensitive, and imaginative to a fault, she tends to see life through a romantic, idealized lens. Her restlessness is as much about longing as it is about identity. She's in the messy, electric process of becoming. Must have valid passport for travel. Must speak fluent English with a standard North American Accent. Beginner Polish (or better) a strong asset but not mandatory. Comedic Skills a strong asset but not mandatory.
