ROLES:
Man (Has a look that can go from 26 to 42): He is a man consumed by
thought. He dwells and ruminates on the decisions from his life often
getting lost in the imaginary world that his mind has created in an
effort to “keep him safe”. This role needs someone who can externalize
his inner thoughts through actions and expressions i.e., the lack of
confidence, despair, fear, confusion, and most importantly searching.
At the same time he needs to be able to go within himself and vocalize
those inner thoughts in a way that feels authentic as he speaks to
himself and to the imaginary world around him. It is a complex role not
for the feint of heart. This man’s search is taking him to the darkest
place the mind can go, to continue living or end it to get rid of the
pain.
Olivia (Has a look that can span from 24 to 39): She is a woman who
wants to see the best in a person. She is trusting, yet reluctant to
give the honest answer afraid of the pain it might cause someone she
loves. She thinks about the future, and makes plans for the next steps
in life. At some points though she struggles with not being short with
those around her when they are forgetful or make a mistake. She loves
very deeply, but her greatest strength is lies in her resiliency to make
the hard decisions.
Boy (7-10 and a younger version of the Man): A boy that is going through
loss, pain, and the onset of abandonment. Much of this role is the boy
searching for safety. He is disappearing into the recesses of his mind
to find a solace and an escape from the real world. He is hiding from
the truths taking place in life. There is a moment though where he is
forced to confront himself, now an adult. It will be important for these
two roles to find similarities in action and tone.
Mom (36-40): The mother of the Boy. It is a brief non speaking role, but
holds the key to setting off every subsequent event within the story. We
are looking for someone who can capture the moment where she is having
to make the largest decision of her life… to leave her son and husband
because she is not the mother and wife they need her to be.
Dad (38-44): This is another brief non speaking role for someone who can
look like the iconic father from the 1960’s. Trim, put together and
guarding of his emotions, with an almost military demeanor to him.
