2 roles
LEAD ROLE. 35 LINES - 14 SCENES. LANGUAGES: Must be able to speak a language other than English Marina is a hardworking woman in her early-to-mid 20s who recently immigrated to Canada. Back home, she was a trained nurse—but her credentials don't transfer here. She now works as a live-in personal support worker while pursuing her studies in healthcare.
LEAD ROLE. 20 LINES - 11 SCENES. Sylvia is a middle-class woman living with mid-advanced stage early-onset dementia. Though not elderly or frail, she requires near-constant support from live-in caregivers and lives in her family’s original home. Sylvia speaks rarely, and only in short, simple phrases. Her world has narrowed, and her gaze often appears distant or dreamlike. She is calm, with softened, understated expressions—a closed-lip smile, downcast eyes, subtle physical responses.
