6 role s
85, Cuban. An elderly woman suffering from dementia, slowly regressing in her mind to a more adolescent state. Despite this “second childishness”, however, an air of mystery surrounds her, as she seems to hold secrets to both the past and the future. Perhaps the most “Lorcaesque” character in the play.
Cuban. A tough-as-nails matriarch. Having survived innumerable injustices, she protects her daughters with a ferocity that borders on militancy. The kind of woman who can stop a room with a raised eyebrow, she rarely needs to raise her voice; when she does, the walls shake. Her tough shell, however, protects a fragile tenderness that's revealed only in the precious rare moments she can let her guard down.
Cuban-American. Born in Cuba but moved to Miami as a child. A true embodiment of Christian virtue, Angie serves as a “second mom” to both her younger sisters. Meanwhile, she represses a quiet desperation that is always near-the-surface, threatening to boil over.
18, Cuban-American, she/her or they/them. Born in Miami to Cuban parents. Mature beyond her years, Amelia grew up faster than her sisters, for reasons both chosen and imposed. Possessing a searing intellect and a dark sense of humor, she’s met the world’s misogyny and greed firsthand and is unafraid to fight back.
Central American. A trained nurse in her home country of Honduras, Gladys is in the U.S. without papers, working to save money for her family back home. The definition of “still waters run deep,” she says little and takes note of everything. When she does speak, she reveals both a stiff spine and a sharply analytical mind.
American of Cuban descent, he/him or they/them. A poet in New York (hint hint), the guilt he feels upon his grandmother’s passing catalyzes the storytelling of the play. Tender, soulful, with a queerness he’s always struggled to fully embrace, he goes looking for answers and uncovers secrets that disrupt the narrative of his family and his past.
