7 roles

RAYA (Lead)Female30-40 y.o.African-American

Pregnant wife and working professional navigating the emotional and physical toll of pregnancy. Sharp, observant, and increasingly overwhelmed, she struggles with feeling unseen and unsupported in her marriage.

AMARI (Lead)Male30-40 y.o.African-American

Affectionate and funny, but emotionally immature. Loves his wife but minimizes her experience and avoids conflict, often caught between his partner and his mother.

KIT (Supporting)Female55-65 y.o.African-American

Polished and warm on the surface, subtly controlling underneath. Uses care and “mother knows best” energy to maintain influence over her son while quietly undermining his wife.

TISHA (Supporting)Female30-40 y.o.African-American

Sharp, intuitive, and emotionally direct. A supportive friend who quickly reads tension and isn’t afraid to push for honesty.

BETH (Supporting)Female30-40 y.o.Latino / Hispanic White / Caucasian Other Asian Middle Eastern Native American Pacific Islander Indian/South Asian

Warm, nurturing, and well-meaning. Leads with empathy and concern, offering emotional support and balance during tense moments.

TERRENCE (Supporting)Male30-40 y.o.African-American

Bold, funny, and a little reckless. The kind of friend who always has something to say; usually inappropriate, sometimes hilarious. He keeps things light, but his advice tends to make situations messier, not better.

MARCUS (Supporting)Male30-40 y.o.White / Caucasian

Grounded, easy-going, and confident. Easily more put-together than the rest of the group. He listens, observes, and speaks up when it matters.
