Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Jayden | Male 12 - 14 Years old |
Description Experience: Professional actors and first time/amateur actors are welcome Description: A quiet, sensitive kid, Jayden spends more time in his head than out. Growing up on a farm, his geeky side has been dampened by his surroundings and the other members of his family and he presents himself as strong and silent to the outside world. Occasionally, he can’t keep composed and unleashes his anxiety through fits of reckless anger. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Dad | Male 35 - 45 Years old |
Description Experience: Professional actors and first time/amateur actors are welcome Description: Stony and quiet, Dad doesn’t let anyone in and uses a strong exterior to hide his inner sensitivity - much like his son. The family’s sole provider, his mood is tied to the whims of nature and the quality of his crops. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Mom | Female 35 - 45 Years old |
Description Experience: Professional actors and first time/amateur actors are welcome Description: Nurturing and composed, Mom keeps a brave face and optimistic outlook when times are hard that some might perceive as ignorance. She is easy to communicate with and perhaps the only person that Jayden feels he can be himself around. | ||
