Roles available:
Light West, lead, 11-12 years old, 17 scenes.
Light is a thin, innocent looking, African-American boy, who looks up to his older brother. His is inherently softhearted and reluctantly coerced by his older brother to lie to the church family that he loves. The guilt that follows inevitably isolates him from the people that try to embrace him.

Caroline is Light and Timothy's mother. She seems constantly tired or troubled by something. She is a single mom, trying to balance raising her own kids and taking care of the children in her at-home daycare.

A jovial, accommodating man who might ask a burglar how his work was going, as the man robbed his house. He is also loud, and generally large in body and spirit.
