BREAKDOWN

SEEKING:

MARJAN: Female, Iranian, 30s. The seemingly perfect teacher – pleasant, calm and neutral. Though appears contained and put together, there are cracks in the façade. Fell in love with the English language and the opportunities learning to speak it could possess. A woman who, at one time, felt like she belonged. MARJAN speaks with a very slight Persian accent. ACTORS WHO ARE COMFORTABLE IN FARSI ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT. PLEASE NOTATE FLUENCY IF APPLICABLE.

ELHAM: Female, Iranian, mid 20s – early 30s. Passionate. Outgoing and extroverted – she wears her heart on her sleeve. Bold and energetic. Competitive and smart; she’s a conflict starter, but not necessarily on purpose. Though her anxiety is at a high when we meet her, she settles into herself as the 6 week course passes. ELHAM’s Persian accent is very thick. ACTORS WHO ARE COMFORTABLE IN FARSI ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT. PLEASE NOTATE FLUENCY IF APPLICABLE.

GOLI: Female, Iranian, 18. Kind, sweet and cheerful. Full of optimism and possibilities. Her spirit shines. A bit naïve to the ways of the world. GOLI speaks with a moderate Persian accent. ACTORS WHO ARE COMFORTABLE IN FARSI ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT. PLEASE NOTATE FLUENCY IF APPLICABLE. NOTE: ACTORS MUST BE AT LEAST 17 YEARS OLD.

ROYA: Female, Iranian, 50s – 60s. A distinguished and dignified woman and mother. Would do anything for her son and family. Has a real naiveté. Loves deeply, perhaps at times to a fault, yet we root for her no matter what. Out of everyone in class, ROYA’s accent is the thickest. ACTORS WHO ARE COMFORTABLE IN FARSI ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT. PLEASE NOTATE FLUENCY IF APPLICABLE.

OMID: Male, Iranian, 30s. Charismatic, and at times, charming. Personable. His English is excellent, and what he is able to do with language is attractive. More than meets the eye – he keeps certain cards close to the vest. Has a strong sense of identity. OMID speaks with a very slight Persian accent that he is in control of and can manipulate. ACTORS WHO ARE COMFORTABLE IN FARSI ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT. PLEASE NOTATE FLUENCY IF APPLICABLE.
