SusannahFemale35-55 y.o.All ethnicities

LEAD. Loving and neurotic mother of two recently grieving the death of her own mother. Constantly striving towards success and stability. Despite her best efforts to do what’s best for her daughter and be the mom she always wanted, her attempts often have the opposite effect, only pushing her daughter further away.

TessFemale18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

Lead. The defiant eldest of the family. Artistic and goth, Tess marches to the beat of her own drum, and holds an inner confidence that is bizzare to Susannah. All she wants is for her mom to recognize her spark, and not control her so tightly.

GrandmaFemale60-80 y.o.All ethnicities

Lead. An old fashioned stern woman, who's decided its her way or the highway. Raising Susannah on strict morales, she's left a lasting impact on the generations of her family.

GregMale35-55 y.o.All ethnicities

Supporting. Despite him being quite useless, he is the emotional anchor of the family. Although he may not know exactly what's going on, or what to say, he will always know how to comfort the ones he loves.

Young GrandmaFemale35-55 y.o.All ethnicities

Supporting. Grandma as a young mother. Very small role.

Scholarship Committee MembersBoth genders35-70 y.o.All ethnicities
