ABOUT THE SHOW
Three kids – Kenny, his sister Edith, and their friend Benji – are all but abandoned on a farm in remotest Middle America. With little adult supervision, they feed and care for each other, making up the rules as they go. But when Kenny’s and Benji’s relationship becomes more than friendship, and Edith shoots something she really shouldn’t shoot, the formerly indifferent outside world comes barging in whether they want it to or not.
ABOUT THE CHARACTERS
Edith – 12, Filipino-American, a girl, Kenny’s Sister; highly independent and naturally curious about the world, she loves to explore the world and has a wonderful imagination to follow. However imaginative, she still does well in school, but at times can be quite impulsive and childlike. She is also quite protective of her brother.
Kenny – 16, Filipino-American, a young man, Edith’s brother; Loving and caring for Edith, but has been forced to mature faster than anyone else in his grade in order to take care for Edith in a world where their parents aren’t around. Balancing this life and his own education has been a challenge, but is helped out by his best friend Benji. Also a total nerd, he uses comic books, and rubiks to escape the real world.
Benji – 16, any race, Kenny’s best friend; Not quite as studious as his best friend, but tries very hard to be as studious. He comes from a significantly more conservative background and feels the need to be closeted at home and at school. After being kicked out of his house by his mom after writing a letter to Benji, his life becomes entirely different.
AUDITION WORKSHOP
In preparation for the auditions, an auditioning workshop will be held on Tuesday, November 12th, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in DramaTech’s black box. There is no cost to attend. Please join us!
