3 roles
A loyal, hardworking blue-collar worker and devoted single father who wears his exhaustion-and his heart-on his sleeve. He is practical, protective, and endearingly imperfect, with a dry sense of humor. When things go sideways, his instinct to protect his family propels him into action, even when he is completely out of his depth.
Warm, sharp-tongued, and firmly in charge of the household, Grandma is the keeper of family stories, snacks, and secrets. She has seen it all and refuses to be easily impressed, meeting the evening's escalating absurdity with wit and surprising composure. Removable dentures strongly preferred; applicants should be comfortable removing them on camera and have a playful sense of humor. Non-actors encouraged to apply.
A retired blue-collar worker with a mischievous streak, Grandpa is a lovable old-school goofball who enjoys a good prank and knows more than he lets on. His easygoing exterior conceals a few secrets, and his role in the evening's chaos may not be entirely innocent. Removable dentures strongly preferred; applicants should be comfortable removing them on camera and be game for physical comedy. Non-actors encouraged to apply.
