Storyline
Twelve year old Theo is left behind after his mother erases all memory of him. When given the chance to see her again, he struggles between holding onto the past or embracing those who’ve truly stayed. Choosing to move forward with his new, unexpected family.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Theo | Male 12 - 14 Years old |
Description By 12 years old, Theo longs to be loved again and to understand why his mother abandoned him, but the rejection has left him guarded and fearful of trusting anyone new. He walks with the weight of abandonment, believing he may not have been enough, and expecting people to leave. Slowly, through Abuela’s care, Victor’s humor, Stella’s quiet warmth, and Louis’s reluctant mentorship, Theo begins to trust again. His journey is not about erasing the pain, but about discovering that while he may never know why his mother left, he is still worthy of love and has a family that chose to stay. | ||

| Lead | Young Theo | Male 8 - 10 Years old |
Description Young Theo wants nothing more than to feel safe in his mother’s love. At this age, he is tender, curious, and still believes the world is secure as long as she is by his side. But when she begins to slip away, the obstacle he faces is one he cannot comprehend, the quiet and invisible rejection of abandonment. He clings to her stories and affection, unaware of the goodbye that is coming. Young Theo represents innocence before the wound, a boy whose open heart will later carry the weight of loss. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting Lead | Louis | Male 28 - 35 Years old |
Description Louis is a burned-out musician who desperately wants to be remembered through his art. His obstacle is the resentment and bitterness that have cut him off from others, leaving him stuck and creatively blocked. Theo’s presence cracks that feeling, reminding him of what truly matters. By sacrificing his long-awaited concert to show up for the boy, Louis proves to himself that memory and legacy come not from recognition, but from love and connection. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Abuela | Female 70 - 80 Years old |
Description Abuela wants to protect and nurture others, turning her own pain of being forgotten into resilience. Once abandoned by her own family in old age, she could have grown bitter, but instead chose kindness and strength. Now she runs the house as a quiet leader, the emotional anchor who notices what others overlook. Through patience and care, she gives Theo the safety he needs to begin healing, embodying the truth that love is an act of endurance. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Allie | Female 30 - 35 Years old |
Description Allie wants to love Theo, but is overwhelmed by her own struggles, whether addiction, mental health, or the impossible weight of raising a child alone. Her obstacle is not the absence of love, but her inability to carry it, and ultimately she disappears from his life, leaving Theo wounded. Allie is not a villain; she is deeply human, torn between love and survival. Her absence is both Theo’s deepest pain and the catalyst for his journey toward chosen family and healing. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Victor | Male 60 - 80 Years old |
Description Victor seeks belonging and uses joy to heal the pain of a lifetime spent feeling like a failure. His obstacle is the disappointment and resentment he carried for years, scars he now hides behind humor. In Abuela’s house he finds a purpose, teasing with warmth, supporting Stella, and guiding Theo with surprising wisdom. His humor masks his wounds, but when he speaks from the heart, it’s unforgettable. He is a reminder that joy and sorrow can live side by side, and both deserve to be heard. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Stella | Female 60 - 70 Years old |
Description Stella longs for safety and connection after arriving at the house fragile and heartbroken. Her obstacle was the deep loneliness she carried for years, leaving her quiet and fragile. With Abuela and Victor’s help, she regained comfort in routine and small acts of love, like knitting scarves for those she cares about. By making Theo’s scarf, Stella welcomes him into the family, proving that healing sometimes comes through gentleness and consistency. | ||
