5 roles

Jackie BrownMale30-59 y.o.African-American

(Lead) A washed-up singer who was once an icon but has fallen into bitterness and alcoholism. Charismatic but broken, he hides his vulnerability behind sarcasm and indifference. Requires strong acting chops to portray emotional depth, and musical experience is a plus (singing or playing an instrument).

Samantha CalderFemale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

(Lead) A passionate and idealistic vocal coach. She’s a huge fan of Jackie’s work but quickly learns her hero has a hardened exterior. She’s persistent, kind, and brings a fresh energy to Jackie's life. Must be able to portray a strong emotional arc and have some vocal or musical background.

Melvin KeizerMale40-69 y.o.All ethnicities

(Supporting) Jackie’s long-time manager. He’s tough, practical, and cares deeply about Jackie but is frustrated with his destructive behavior. He serves as both a voice of reason and tough love.

KimiFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Supporting) A pivotal figure in Jackie’s past, Kimi was his vocal coach and mentor. Appears in flashbacks as a nurturing yet strict teacher who saw potential in Jackie from the start.

Young JackieMale18-29 y.o.African-American

(Supporting) A young, ambitious version of Jackie seen in flashbacks during his rise to fame. He is hopeful, talented, and eager to succeed. Some musical talent required.
