Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Dorothy | Female 30 - 40 Years old |
Description Dorothy is a very charismatic, attentive young woman. She lives a simple life on her own, emerging herself into many hobbies and interests to fill in the great amount of free time she has. Dorothy took a liking to gardening after discovering her infertility, using it as an outlet to nurture and care. She roams the town of Brimsgy with a witty glow and the sweetest smile, and has the ability to comfort and soften just about anyone. Her smile is contagious, and her bubbly personality helps push herself through low moments. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Judy | Female 40 - 50 Years old |
Description Judy is the definition of tough love. Raised by a boarding school principle, she’s inherited a need for perfection and order, especially from her daughter, Lila. Judy has the utmost highest standards for herself and needs to be #1 for everything. Her rigged and harsh personality deflects many if a fake smile isn’t plastered onto her face. She cares deeply, but lacks the softness to communicate that. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Lila | Female 5 - 8 Years old |
Description Lila, Judy’s daughter, is one of the most imaginative little girls. Her brain is filled with colour and possibilities, but is constantly muted by her mother’s expectations. She wants nothing more than to play, dance, and laugh, often finding sneaky ways to do so. Lila wants to make her mother proud, but the goals she’s given are often unachievable, leaving her feeling like a failure most of the time. She buries this feeling and finds hope within other outlets, such as her friendship with her neighbour, Dorothy. | ||
