Project 1 Roles

🎭 Grown Hattie / Harriett – Lead
Female, mid-30s to early 40s, African American, dark-skinned or brown-skinned. Hattie is a social worker who remains haunted by the childhood she lost. Independent and emotionally guarded, she enters an unconventional trauma recovery center and must face memories she has avoided for years.

🎭 Dr. X – Lead
Male, mid-60s, African American, dark-skinned or brown-skinned, 5’11”–6’3”. Dr. X is a charismatic psychotherapist and founder of an unusual therapeutic community. Charming, powerful, and complex, his healing methods may not be exactly what they seem. Character reference: Mr. Milchick from Severance.

🎭 Marsha – Featured / No Lines
Female, mid-40s, Afro-Latina or Latina, 5’5”–5’7”. Marsha is a longtime resident of the therapeutic community who appears fully committed to its strange lifestyle, but she may know more than she reveals.

Additional featured non-speaking roles are also available for two adults, ages 30s–50s, people of color. One man and one woman are needed.

Project 2 Roles

🎭 Mason Lloyd – Lead
Male, late 20s to early 30s, African American. Mason has recently returned home after more than a decade away. Quiet, disciplined, and emotionally guarded, he carries guilt and unresolved grief while trying to reconnect with a world that has moved on without him. Strong nonverbal acting skills are essential for this role.

🎭 Mrs. Lloyd – Lead
Female, 50s to 60s, African American. Mrs. Lloyd is elegant, poised, well-spoken, and deeply family-oriented. Beneath her polished and loving exterior, however, there is something subtly unsettling. The role requires an actress who can balance warmth, sophistication, and mystery.

🎭 The Scientist – Featured / No Lines
Male, 50s to 60s, White. Highly intelligent, cold, and emotionally detached, The Scientist has a calm authority and unsettling presence. This role requires an actor who can communicate power without dialogue.
