Storyline
When a group of tenants are locked out of their apartments by their otherworldly landlord, they must band together to confront the horrors that lurk in the hallways and common spaces of their building or risk losing their homes, minds, and lives forever.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | MOM | Female 60 - 70 Years old |
Description East Asian. The building’s official adorable senior couple. Always together, deeply devoted to each other. When Mom gets trapped in the malfunctioning elevator, Pop’s sole- focus becomes trying to save her. PERFORMER WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED TO READ THE ROLE OF: ELEANOR - Female, 50+. The building psychic. Eccentric, lonely, one foot in our world, one in the astral plane. Empathetic, but deeply isolated. Longs for connection and a sense of belonging, which the Landlord exploits. Think: Patricia Arquette, Ann Dowd | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | POP | Male 60 - 70 Years old |
Description East Asian. The building’s official adorable senior couple. Always together, deeply devoted to each other. When Mom gets trapped in the malfunctioning elevator, Pop’s sole- focus becomes trying to save her. PERFORMER WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED TO READ THE ROLE OF: LANDLORD - Male, 60s. Otherworldly. An entity of cosmic horror. Seeks to evict the tenants and move in “his family.” Speaks in an ominous, deep, elongated, drone. Earthly language is not his mother tongue. | ||
