Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Veera | Female 8 - 14 Years old |
Description Veera is an observant, intelligent girl just beginning to grow out of childhood. She has a strong moral compass, the kind that's drilled into you as a kid. Requires a young actor with strong emotional transparency, the ability to play with subtlety rather than melodrama, and a grounded sense of stillness. Tutor will be provided for shooting and rehearsal days. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Mom | Female 35 - 70 Years old |
Description A woman held together entirely by control. Mom manages chaos in the household by containing it. Her exhaustion is polished over with routine. Under stress, she becomes brittle, developing a cold, passivity that comes appears slightly off. She's someone who can make stillness feel dangerous. A performance built on subtlety rather than outbursts. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Dad | Male 40 - 78 Years old |
Description Warm, soft-spoken, and earnest, Dad presents as tender and harmless and, in some moments, he truly is. But something in him is frayed, dissociated, and quietly deteriorating. His sweetness and confusion coexist in a way that can be both comforting and unsettling. He is emotionally available yet cognitively drifting, like someone trying to remember who he used to be. IMPORTANT NOTE: This role involves appearing nude from behind. Our production has hired an intimacy coordinator and we can answer any questions you may have. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Actor | Marni | Female 16 - 24 Years old |
Description Marni, a bit closed off, takes after her Mom, adopting her avoidant coping mechanism when Dad's illness becomes painfully obvious. Marni is in her last year of high school and soon she'll have to decide to stay and help her Mom care-give, or decide to leave and free herself from essentially parenting her parent. | ||
