CAST REQUIREMENTS: (3 Males, 3 Females)
KENT (SPOON) – late 20’s to early 30’s African American) the youngest son of the LeVay family; has grown up with an artistic disposition in a family of doctors and lawyers. Though financially privileged, he has struggled to find his place in life and with his family

FLIP – (early to mid 30’s – African American) oldest son of LeVay family; the “golden boy” who, with some compromises, has fallen in line with his father’s expectations. He is an incorrigible ladies’ man

KIMBER – (late 20’s to mid 30’s –Caucasian} is an intelligent woman with a quick wit and sincere warmth. Her social status matches that of the LeVay’s, with of course, the undeniable privilege of whiteness – of this she is aware, and on some level appalled
