LeadGARYMale 12 - 15 Years old
Description
[GARY] is a 13yo, male. Husky and self-conscious of his bigger size, Gary is sensitive. He wants nothing more than to be invisible. Reeling from his parents’ divorce, he finds solace in drawing, his best friend Sam, and his older sister Abby. Gary’s inner world is as loud as he is quiet, hiding a righteous fury just waiting to escape. LEAD

LeadABBYFemale 18 - 23 Years old
Description
[ABBY] is a 17yo, female. Gary’s self-appointed protector, Abby’s forced to grow up fast when her parents get divorced. Her life is defined by secrets: her dad’s infidelity, her mom’s drinking, and the creature that’s haunted her since she was a kid. Abby has weaponized her sensitivity, affecting a jaded wisdom; deep down, she’s just as wounded as Gary. Actor must be 18 or older.
