Toronto
Role description

(Any ethnicity) Angel is in Grade 5 and is the only child of a single mom. She likes very few things, but she likes them a lot: she likes bugs, she likes books about girls in historical settings, she likes Elli and playing in the alley behind her house. She’s rooted in facts - she doesn’t have a good grasp on imaginary worlds in the ways that Elli does. At school, she is shy and soft-spoken, but has an ever-present curiosity about her.

Role description

(Any ethnicity) Elli is Angel’s best friend and classmate. Elli has a big imagination and is a natural-born leader. She loves movies. She loves stories. She loves roller coasters, haunted houses, and big feelings. She’ll talk to anyone to meet someone new and learn something about the world. Elli controls Angel and Angel is okay with that because she always seems to know exactly what she's doing. They live under her guidelines. (Note: It would be a bonus if the actor has experience in theatre/musical theatre. The character has theatrical and loquacious tendencies while still playing ‘real’ on camera.)

Role description

(Any ethnicity) Pam is the mother of Angel and a coordinator at a publishing company. She’s painfully honest but she’s the kind of person you can’t stay mad at because she’s the life of the party. She likes her job but lives for the weekend - she has a great network of friends who babysit Angel so she can still go dancing if she wants to. She loves to sit on her back porch with a glass of red wine and a book. The TV is always on in their house and she’ll watch back-to-back episodes of Law & Order on the weekends. Pam is chatty, inquisitive, and often burnt out and tired.
