Storyline
It’s 2023 and Marin's final March Break of highschool has just begun.
Marin and her best friend, Lizzie have promised to spend the whole break
together, until Lizzie confesses something awful... Lizzie is going to Costa Rica
without her.
In a heartbroken fury, Marin locks herself in her room and faces all the
jealous teenage voices in her head. All the while, her strong-willed mother and
grandmother won’t give up on bringing her with them on a family sledding excursion.

Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Jean | Female 50 - 80 Years old |
Description Marin's Grandmother. She is a quirky, kind, and a hard working woman with lots of humour and groundedness. She had her daughter (Marin's mom) Lauryn quite young and had a divorce soon after. When Lauryn had her daughter young, she wanted to show support in the way she wished her family had given her. When her parents passed, she outbid her brothers, got the house and started a new life with Lauryn and Marin. Must balance going on tangents with being sincere. Comedy experience preferred. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Lauryn | Female 30 - 50 Years old |
Description The logical, trusting, and somewhat firm single mother of her teenage daughter, Marin(17). She upholds a type of independence in the home that she once aspired for her mom and now for her daughter. She had Marin in her early 20's, so as a young single mom, she turned to her mother for help. Now, Lauryn, Marin and Jean (her family matriarch) all live together in Jean’s house. Must balance authority and kindness. Comedy experience is preferred. | ||
