Description:
Noah, a charming yet troubled individual, finds himself in the moral dilemma of being a father after 9 years behind bars. With him gone, 9 year old Abi was raised surrounded by violence, sex workers and simply poor parenting, so he makes the decision. With no legal rights, he kidnaps her, playing the part of her fun uncle. But there is no menace in this story, they love, they laugh, they create adventures in far off lands with magical creatures as their friends… but how long can this allusion last before life and reality catches up to them.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Noah | Male | Any | 27-35 | Noah is a complex character; he wants the best for his daughter and for this very reason makes rather questionable decisions. He is funny and easygoing and loves to keep the fantasy alive in his daughter imagination by telling her stories full of magic. He is brave and determined. When in jail, during his 20’s, he learned how to survive in this violent environment for 9 years. He knows how the streets work and how to make money to survive the day. Since no one wants to give an ex-convict a job opportunity, he feels the need to sell his body for the opportunity to be someone to his daughter. He wants to give her a better life and try his best to be the best parent he can be. He has a challenging relationship with his mother, which although aggressive at times, deep down they love and care for each other. |
| Abi | Female | Any | 7-10 | Abi is a 9 year old girl, living with her mom and her boyfriend. She doesn’t see a parent in her mother, instead views her more like an older sister. She is funny and overflowing with personality, especially when it comes to ALWAYS being right. She caries her favorite toys wherever she goes, sharing her adventures with them. She’s terrified when people fight due to her upbringing. She is smart beyond her years, loves secretly playing with her mom’s makeup and always has her mom’s back. Even as a child she carries a clear awareness of how the dark adult world works. |
| Diane | Female | Any | 47-55 | Diane is an incredibly captivating character; she is secure and sharp. She loves her son Noah but she doesn’t know how to be a mother. She was born to be a diva but never became one. She’s had a really tough life and that has made her a tougher woman. But even Diane would never leave her own son but feels that choosing to stay held her back from her own chances in life. Being an independent single mom so fast stole the precious time of her youth. So she dresses and behaves as the younger Diane she could have been without motherhood interrupting. |
