6 roles
LEAD: Smart, ambitious, full of potential, but caught in a toxic relationship that challenges her self-worth. Emotional vulnerability required.
LEAD: Charming, funny, and magnetic — the kind of man who knows how to sweep a woman off her feet. Underneath the charm lies manipulative and self-centered behavior. Actor must balance charisma with toxicity.
SUPPORTING: Deon’s girlfriend, unaware of his involvement with Courtney. Strong-willed, fiery, and not afraid of confrontation. She ultimately faces Courtney in a physical fight — and wins
SUPPORTING: (voice of reason) A close friend with a nurturing but honest presence. She’s the voice of reason, offering advice that Courtney doesn’t always take
SUPPORTING: (protective bestie) Bold and outspoken, Rayne doesn’t sugarcoat anything. She’s protective of Courtney and isn’t afraid to call out red flags when she sees them.
SUPPORTING: (spiritual guide) Spiritual, grounded, and deeply connected to her faith. She encourages Courtney to draw closer to God and look beyond toxic love for her sense of worth. Actor must bring warmth and a sense of inner strength.
