Child roles available:

Turner Blossom 12: A classical guitar prodigy. He is a normal boy in most respects except for his gift of music. He and his composer father share a musical bond, but that can't always make them has the best of times. He fights with his younger sister and protects her like most young boys do. It would be great to find an actor who can really play classical guitar, but this might be hard.

Pony Blossom 9. Think Olive from Little Miss Sunshine. A young awkward girl in the shadow of a talented older brother. She eats flowers and fears visiting her dying aunt because she is a afraid of dying.

Fletcher St. John 11. Palace's deaf grandson. Fletcher has a true gift of predicting someone's future. The actor will need to be able to sign. We would prefer to cast an actual deaf child. Fletcher is only in act 1.

Amy Childs 11. Amy is Scotty's daughter by his first marriage. She is a tom boy; her mother is an olyimpic medalist. She could be cast as the same actor that plays Fletcher. She is only in act 2.
