Available Roles:
RAZAN: Recent immigrant from an unnamed Muslim country, about 17 years old. Beautiful, refined, responsible, careful not to get too enthusiastic about children’s games. Fierce protector of her sister, Yara. Plays Meg. Also plays: Hannah, Mr. Laurence.
YARA: Recent immigrant from an unnamed Muslim country, about 14 years old. Sensitive, creative, very dry sense of humor underneath her shy exterior. She is also withdrawn, quiet, and jumpy; the journey she’s recently been on has deeply affected her. Plays Beth. Also plays: Laurie. Yara plays the piano with some proficiency and we are looking to cast an actor that does the same.
CHARLOTTE: Suburban white American tween, about 12 years old. Very literal, loves being the baby of the family and center of attention, a perfectionist, has a slightly hostile pre-teen edge.
