[Julián] LEAD

• • Seeking talent of Afro-Caribbean descent.
  • Seeking talent 7-12 (talent to sound 7).
  • Open to male/female/non-binary talent.
  • Knowledge of the Spanish language is a plus, but not a strict requirement. Julián is not himself fluent in Spanish and speaks it deliberately by repeating Abuela’s words.

A creative, instinctive kid of seven years; existing at many an intersection, each one a portal of possibility. In this moment, he’s teetering on the edge, ready to burst it all open.
He is a happy, secure, and confident young boy.
Also, he might just be a mermaid.

[Abuela] LEAD

• • TALENT MUST BE ABLE TO SPEAK SPANISH
  • Abuela is in her 60s – however, we are open with the age as long as the talent have the the voice profile we are seeking.
  • Seeking talent who are of a Hispanophone Caribbean background, ideally specifically from the Dominican Republic.
  • Abuela is Afro-Caribbean, born and raised in the Dominican Republic.
  • She speaks Spanish frequently and confidently. English is her second language, which she learned in Brooklyn as a young adult. A Brooklyn accent in English is less important, as Abuela learned English in a cultural melting pot that includes many other non-native English speakers.

She is stoic, firm, but with a natural tenderness in her voice. Her voice should have a gravitas that comes with age and experience but there should be no frailty that suggests an elderly woman.

The grandmother of Julián. She is the best kind of elder, wise and caring, but still messy and complicated in her own right. Brilliant, but bound by the mistakes of the past, she has closed herself to further pain, hardening her heart. Unbeknownst to her, Julián will be the key to cracking it open.
– TALENT MUST BE ABLE TO SPEAK SPANISH

Synopsis: The wide-eyed JULIÁN spends a summer of discovery in NYC with his ABUELA. Nearly strangers, they brace themselves for tense conversations and new adventures. The colourful chaos of Abuela’s world, and the stories she tells him, awakens something within Julián… questions about who he is and who he could be. Julián’s curiosity is piqued when he discovers magic that seems to flow from his very fingertips! He knows it must be connected to something deeper… and the Brooklyn block outside Abuela’s door may just provide a clue. A trio of girls, Julián’s new best friends, dazzle him with talk of a beautiful mermaid goddess, one with the power of transformation – The wondrous YEMAYÁ! Her magic bears a striking resemblance to Julián’s recent discovery… The girls plan to meet her at the spectacular Mermaid Parade and Julián is eager to join them, he wants nothing more than to be a mermaid! However, Abuela sees things a little differently. She knows all too well the dangers of the ocean, of Yemayá, and the power she wields. She is keen to make up for lost time with Julián, but she’s desperate to protect him too. Abuela isn’t ready to let him go, so instead she offers Julian a choice: She will bring him to the parade – only if he gives up on Yemayá… Julián agrees, delighted to have Abuela on his side. They become close, spending time together making a costume and enjoying each other’s company. But still, Julián finds himself drawn to the sea, to Yemayá and the freedom they promise. Julián, believing he can change Abuela’s mind, reveals his true intentions, magic and all. But Abuela’s pain runs deeper than Julián could possibly know. She won’t let him go. Despite her betrayal, Julián refuses to give up. Driven by fierce emotion and magical power, he summons a huge storm that carries him off to the ocean. Once there, Julián’s dream can finally come true, but only if he is willing to leave everything behind. It’s now or never for Abuela. If she doesn’t want to lose him, she must prove that she is ready to accept all those parts of Julián, and herself, that she has closed off for so long. Julián feels himself being torn in two – bound to Abuela and Yemayá equally. However, his summer of discovery has shown him that the answer lies somewhere between the two. Julián is of land and sea, a child of Abuela and Yemayá, a boy and mermaid. Julián is magic! The storm clouds disappear and Julián and Abuela fully embrace. By the time they return to their block they are forever changed but forever connected. They have both been truly transformed!

[DAVEY] Female. Seeking talent 16-18 (must look 14-15) (LEAD) 
Theatrical, impulsive and an out and out goof, everything Davey touches turns to fun drama and zany chaos. Prone to flights of fancy and elaborate romantic fantasies – Davey’s overactive imagination means she dreams big and she dreams hard. As such, she often has a tendency to gloss over important details or skip the “thinking it through” step in favor of diving straight in. An only child of older parents, Davey can tend towards being a people pleaser, but this often works at odds with her desire to make a splash – so she frequently finds herself desperate to fit in but only by standing out. Fortunately, she isn’t afraid of looking like a nut, and if someone (especially Jonesie) finds themselves in the unwanted spotlight, she’s more than happy to loudly make a fool of herself to protect them. Despite her sensitive nature and high emotional intelligence, she can be a little self-absorbed or even a bit of a bulldozer when she gets too pumped. But she’s ultimately the most generous, selfless and brave kid you’ll ever meet – and she’s got Killer taste in friends…

[JONESIE] Female. Seeking talent 16-18 (must look 14-15). (LEAD) 
Artsy, sarcastic and a little macabre – Jonesie is the deadpan, one-liner slinging yin to Davey’s effusively goofy yang. If Davey is a sensitive extrovert, Jonesie is what you’d call a confident introvert – it’s not that she’s shy, she just doesn’t ever feel the need to express herself how you think she should. And while she too loves to stand out and be different, she’s a little less comfortable in the spotlight. She’s more of a lurk in the shadows for fun kind of gal. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t just as brave in her own way. Enamoured of anything offbeat, creepy or strange, Jonesie is never one to shy away from new experiences and tends to be ultra adventurous in the face of the unexplained. She also has no problem standing up to literally anyone she thinks is being a bully, a coward or simply inauthentic. Some people find her too dry and a little off-putting. Davey thinks she’s the funniest, coolest person in the world. And the feeling is very much mutual. Jonesie can be a bit stubborn and blunt – and with three older sisters always bossing her around, her fear of being “walked all over” can occasionally make her dig in her heels. But at the end of the day, Davey and Jonesie’s friendship is usually a perfect harmony of personalities. Like that time they found a dead bird and Jonesie was obsessed with looking at it while Davey was obsessed with planning its funeral. And together they spent an entire weekend performing an elaborate death ritual for it instead of going to the soccer meet their parents signed them up for. Classic…
