Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Sami | Male 45 - 65 Years old |
Description 45-65 years old; person of colour, male identifying. Sami is an employee at a storage facility and is a kind but bureaucratic worker. He has a paternal essence to him that often gets him wrapped up in other people's issues. When Carmen shows up at the storage locker begging for his help, Sami tries to be firm but fair, reminding her of the rules and that they need to work within them. Carmen globs onto his polite generosity and ends up pushing him to the brink. PRINCIPAL | ||
