2 roles
MUST BE ENGLISH SPEAKING. Wheelchair User. Before our story starts, Billy was able to walk. He fell down some stairs and became quadriplegic. While doing an MRI after his fall, the doctors found out he had MS. They do not have to be quadriplegic. He is very smart. Always thinks 12 steps ahead. He is self centered and slightly manipulative.
Wheelchair User. Unlike Billy, Tess has full function of her upper limbs. We are looking to find performers that are wheelchair users. Tess is American and sings jazz with a trio in a hotel bar. Does not have to be a real singer. (But let them know if you sing).
