Seeking (all roles are available (i.e. not yet offered and accepted) unless otherwise specified):

African American man, late 50s. Distinguished, opinionated, a leader. Exudes power and confidence to the world, but is internally frightened and confused, struggling to maintain his dignity.
Brendan:
African American man, late 20s. Doctor. Polished. Running from his past, still unable to accept responsibility for past sins, and privately in need of his father's approval.
Olu:
African woman, late 20s. Doctor. Polished. Strong; bears life's burdens with a smile and optimism while remaining acutely sensitive to the pain of others. Actress must be able to do an African accent.
Kenny:
African American man, late 20s. Professional basketball player. At peace with himself. Quick with a joke. Has the ability to see clearly through chaos.
