Old-Head (F.K.A. Gabriel)

Alycia
18-24 to play 17, open ethnicity. Alycia is a bold, direct, and outwardly confident teenager who knows how to charm when she wants to, but she struggles to connect deeply with people. She’s plagued by the belief that vulnerability leads to hurt; therefore, she actively avoids closeness at all costs. She’s flirtatious, attractive, and a social chameleon, allowing her to get what she wants out of people. Alycia begins our story seemingly content; however, when the childhood experiences that kick-started her fear of closeness creep into her present-day life, she must face her insecurities head-on to forgive herself for the situation that shattered her innocence.
Young Alycia
8-14 to play 9yrs old, Wasian (to match performer cast as ALYCIA). Young Alycia is adorkable and unapologetically herself. Under her awkward but vibrant exterior, she has just begun to quietly crave acceptance and popularity among her peers. We meet her on a playdate with her crush, and even though they hang out, she believes that he will never really like her. In the joyous afterglow of playing with her crush, she meets a friend online with the screen name “jellybean614”, who she begins to open up to. Jellybean614 earns her trust, and in the process, Young Alycia is taken advantage of in a way that will haunt her for years to come. Must be comfortable with improv. Please note that performers will NOT be exposed to the mature themes/content in the script.
Sean
18-24 to play 19, open ethnicity, Sean is Alycia’s Tinder match who seems, on first glance, entirely too cool for school, until we realise he’s not as slick as he makes out to be. He’s endearing, good-hearted, and figuring his life out, just like anyone else. Going into his date with Alycia, he just wants to get to know her better. While Alycia believes he is just another boy taking advantage of her, by the end of the story, he helps her realise that she can be seen for who she truly is.
Jean
Open ethnicity, Jean is the cool aunt type and a born hustler. Despite some financial instability and having to make it work on her own, it is clear that Jean has lived a full and vibrant life. She’s a maid by day and Uber driver by night. While she is direct, even stern, she warms to Alycia when she picks her up on the side of the road. She’s tough, real, and one of the first people to show Alycia how to be who she really is.
Alycia's Mom

Liam
8-14 to play 9, open ethnicity. The cutest boy in the class and Alycia’s crush; we meet him in Alycia’s backyard, messing around with a camcorder. They play Simon Says, pretend they’re news broadcasters, and run around playing tag. Must be comfortable with improv.
Roy
The Groom. Charmingly maladroit and introspective, Roy is a lover who wears his heart on his sleeve. He says what he means and often ends up with his foot in his mouth. He holds himself in a constant battle between gentle sincerity and masculine domination. NOTE: This role involves male and female intimacy and implied nudity (intimacy co-ordinator on set). ACTRA or Apprentice only please.
Tony
