Mama D [Dorothy] | Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 55-75 | Role Type: Principal
Matriarch of the family. A survivor. Strong-willed. Strong, generous, & deeply protective, shaped by years of surviving an abusive marriage & an ongoing battle with cancer. Speaks openly about God and family, though her faith is complicated - belief present, intimacy distant. Hosting her 70th birthday with quiet urgency, Mama D hopes to gather her children together, especially Melanie. No one is ever left hungry or unsupported around her. But mention her son Theo and everything shifts; his name is not welcomed in her house. Stubborn and mouthy when confronted, Mama D can only be challenged by her sister Melby and her daughter Melanie. Her relationship with Melanie is deeply fractured, shaped by a difficult choice Mama D continues to justify as protection. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed. Required Skills: Singing: Gospel
Melby | Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 55-78 | Role Type: Principal
Dynamic. Modest. A woman of prayer and faith. Melby is Mama D’s older sister and a strong spiritual authority within the family. She wears her faith openly and unapologetically. When Melby enters a room, order follows; even in chaos, the family instinctively straightens up. Melby is direct, bold, and unafraid of confrontation. Gentle correction is left to her husband, David. Their long, healthy marriage allows Melby to rest, feel covered, and walk fully in her strength. Melby speaks with authority and conviction. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed. Required Skills: Singing: Gospel
David | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 55-78 | Role Type: Principal
Warm. Steady. A man of faith and wisdom. David is Melby’s husband and Mama D’s brother-in-love. Their long history allows Mama D to be herself around him—no pretending, no performance. He carries a fatherly, big-brother presence, a man’s man who is secure in who he is and unshaken in character. As a pastor and counselor, David moves with calm authority. When Melby confronts, David is the gentle voice that helps redirect the room, often reminding her to soften without diminishing her strength. He is down-to-earth, approachable, and deeply grounded—someone whose presence alone brings a sense of safety. David represents steady love, healthy masculinity, and pastoral care. A devoted husband and proud girl dad, he is good company and a stabilizing force within the family. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed.
Dianne | Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 40-50 | Role Type: Principal
Nurturing. Devoted. Warm. Dianne is the emotional backbone of the family. As the eldest child and only parent among her siblings, she naturally takes on the role of caretaker. Patient and deeply giving, she consistently puts everyone else before herself—especially her two children, who are her heartbeat. After her divorce, Dianne moved across the state to care for her mother without hesitation. She has given her last—emotionally and financially—to support her family, including her brother Theo. Love, for Dianne, has always meant showing up. Her relationship with Melanie is strained and often fiery. Though she carries the weight of a failed marriage and battles moments of depression, Dianne continues to show up with grace. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed.
Melanie | Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 35-45 | Role Type: Principal
Confident. Guarded. Strong-willed. Polished, commanding, and deeply guarded. She is successful in her field as the owner of a thriving real estate company—financially secure, fashionable, and assured. Control is her armor. She is bitter toward her mother, viewing the birthday celebration as another performance. Melanie keeps her distance from family, offering support through action rather than relationship. She shows up when needed, but on her terms. Emotional closeness is avoided. Her relationship with Dianne is especially strained. Melanie’s words are sharp and often cutting. In her marriage, Melanie struggles with vulnerability. She loves her husband deeply, yet keeps him at arm’s length, unsure how to allow him into her broken places. This role includes a singing component. Gospel. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed.
Derrick | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 38-48 | Role Type: Principal
Strong. Loyal. Steady. Derrick is the kind of man people describe as a good man. He loves his wife deeply—ten years of marriage rooted in history, commitment, and genuine affection. His love is patient and consistent, even as the distance between them grows. Communication with Melanie has become difficult, yet Derrick continues to reach, searching for understanding and connection. He is frustrated and worn down, but still hopeful. Letting go is not easy for him. Divorce is the outcome he fears most, and the thought of facing it weighs heavily on him. Derrick is respected and loved by the family. Loyal, loving, and quietly exhausted, Derrick stands at a crossroads—trying to endure while not losing himself. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed.
Reggie | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 40-50 | Role Type: Supporting
Charming. Convenient. Questionable. Reggie is Mama D’s much younger boyfriend—easygoing, familiar, and largely unbothered. He is company, and a sense of presence, but very little weight. Their relationship is practical more than romantic, rooted in convenience and companionship. A truck driver by trade, Reggie is often gone for long stretches of time. When he is around, he helps where needed and stays out of the way. He is harmless enough, agreeable, and comfortable. He knows how to receive care and enjoys the benefits of being looked after. The family sees the imbalance immediately and disapproves openly. Reggie is aware of it and unaffected. His role in Mama D’s life raises questions, but he offers no clear answers. Reggie exists on the margins—easy to laugh at, easy to question. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed.
Alison | Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 18-22 | Role Type: Supporting
Trendy. Youthful. Uncertain. Fashionable, adorable, and full of youthful energy. Her sense of style is expressive and confident, though she is still very much a teenager—exploring, experimenting, and trying to find herself. She loves her grandmother and is excited to bring her boyfriend home, believing she is stepping into something grown. Beneath the surface, however, Allison carries a quiet sense of confusion. She feels disconnected at times, unsure of where she belongs or what she wants, sensing that something within her is unclear but unable to name it. Allison respects and listens to her mother, Dianne, even when conflicted. She shares a close, protective bond with her brother, instinctively covering for one another. Sweet-natured and observant—hopeful, uncertain, and searching. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed.
Christopher | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 20-25 | Role Type: Supporting
“The future doctor of the family.” Polished. Pressured. Christopher is the pride of the family—smart, charming, and accomplished, with a full scholarship awaiting him for medical school. He brings laughter to Mama D and confidence to every room he enters. Beneath the polish, Christopher carries immense pressure. A devoted mama’s boy, he believes it is his responsibility to protect his mother and sister, especially after the divorce. Admired and trusted, he works hard to maintain the image everyone is proud of, hiding the cracks forming underneath. No one worries about Christopher—because no one thinks they need to. He is admired, trusted, and relied upon, even as he struggles to hold everything together. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed.
Theo | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 38-45 | Role Type: Supporting
Absent. Unstable. The unspoken son. Theo is Mama D’s middle child—the one whose name is not welcomed in her house. The rule is hers. His presence is uncomfortable, his existence treated as failure. Mention of Theo brings Mama D anger and shame, and she has drawn a hard line that keeps him at a distance. Dianne and Melanie, however, have not abandoned him. Both have given what they could—financially, emotionally, repeatedly—only to lose track of him when he disappears again. Loving Theo is exhausting, uncertain, and often unrewarded. He carries weight the family avoids naming, and it has shaped both his addiction and his isolation. When Theo appears, it is disruptive and necessary. He is not simply the problem—he is the evidence of what the family has buried. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed.
Tevon | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 23-28 | Role Type: Supporting
Suave. Fashion Conscious. Trouble. Tevon is the kind of guy who naturally draws attention, especially from the women in the room. If you’re into the “bad boy” type, he fits the description. Stylish, confident, and smooth, he knows how to say just enough to keep things interesting—and get what he wants. He is Allison’s boyfriend—well, as much as he allows the title to be defined. Their relationship is playful on the surface, but his intentions don’t always align with hers. Tevon crosses boundaries, often masking it with charm. What feels exciting at first quickly reveals pressure beneath it. He is used to getting his way, and he doesn’t always hear “no.” This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed.
Bryan | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 40-50 | Role Type: Supporting
Charming. Dependable. Well put together. Bryan is Mama D’s next-door neighbor and an orthopedic surgeon. He is the kind of man who shows up—helpful, respectful, and steady. Attractive without trying, Bryan carries an ease that makes people feel comfortable around him. He has been a consistent help to Mama D, offering support in ways that feel natural, not forced. Around the family, he is quickly noticed and quietly appreciated. There is something grounded about him—safe, dependable, and present. Mama D sees more than just a good neighbor in Bryan and subtly entertains the idea of him being more connected to the family. Whether Bryan sees it the same way, or is open to it, remains unspoken. This is an understudy position for the October Production, with consideration for future performances. The selected actor will train with the current cast and be prepared to step into role if needed.

Syd, 19 | Female | African-American | Age: 18-25 | Role Type: Principal
Syd is bold, funny, and full of personality, even when she is unsure of herself. Quick-tempered and easily frustrated, she has a tendency to meet pressure with anger and never backs down from a fight. Beneath that toughness, she is deeply caring, especially when it comes to her family, and shows love through cooking. Though she rejects social media on principle, she secretly maintains an account of her own, hinting at the vulnerability and curiosity she tries to hide.
Braden, 20 | Male | African-American | Age: 18-22 | Role Type: Supporting
Braden is Syd’s supportive best friend and coworker at the grocery store. Funny, easygoing, and dependable, he often brings comic relief when Syd’s world feels too heavy. He is one of the few people who knows how to reach Syd when her anger spikes, making him both her emotional buffer and her sounding board.
Amber, 20 | Female | African-American | Age: 18-25 | Role Type: Supporting
Syd’s roommate, Amber, is quiet but never without an opinion. She is messy, though she does her best to keep the chaos contained to her room. A high school dropout juggling three jobs, Amber survives through hustle, grit, and distraction. She is obsessed with social media, constantly posting and consuming information, and loves any excuse to go out and escape her reality. Where Syd resists the digital world, Amber lives in it.
Tiffany, 17 | Female | African-American | Age: 18-25 | Role Type: Supporting
Syd’s younger sister, Tiffany, is wiser than her age suggests. Athletic, driven, and deeply loyal to her siblings, she wants desperately to keep the family together even as she dreams of building a life beyond it. She helps her mother by doing hair, loves school, and is determined to graduate and get out, creating a tension between duty and ambition.
Ms. Jackson, mid-40s | Female | African-American | Age: 35-55 | Role Type: Supporting
Syd’s school counselor and mentor, Ms. Jackson, is polished, ambitious, and deeply invested in young people like Syd. Though in her mid-forties, she looks much younger and carries herself with confidence and energy. Married with two young children and finishing her doctorate, she is a woman constantly balancing personal ambition with service to others. For Syd, she is both a guide and a reminder of what persistence can look like.
Candace, 35 | Female | African-American | Age: 30-40 | Role Type: Supporting
Syd's unseen mother, Candace, is overwhelmed, complicated, and stretched thin by a life that never gave her much room to breathe. A mother of five, with a two-year-old from her second marriage, she works at a retirement home as a recreation attendant, or as she jokingly calls it, a babysitter for old people. She drinks too much, makes messy choices, and often falls short, but she is not without resilience. She recently earned her GED while pregnant, proof that even now she has not fully given up on herself.
Daniel, Early to Mid 50s | Male | African-American | Age: 35-50 | Role Type: Supporting
Candace's boyfriend and former military man, Daniel is a straight shooter who loves Candace.
Ms. Thomas, 55 or Older | Female | African-American | Age: 50-70 | Role Type: Supporting
