CAST OF CHARACTERS:
JAMILA, an African American Girl/Woman, late teens/mid 20's. Quirky, charming, intelligent and wise beyond her years. Michelle Obama is totally her idol and she wants nothing more than to attend Princeton just like her. Think Lyric Ross with a little bit of
Willow Smith with the vocal range of Chloe x Halle. Strong singer/actress, rap and dance is a plus. Soprano with a pop belt.
HARPER, an African American Girl/Woman, late teens/mid 20's. The antagonist and most popular girl in school (duh), is attractive, confident, and energetic. She's someone who is never told "no"...she always gets what she wants, when she wants it - otherwise, there's trouble! Strong rapper/dancer/singer/actress. Yara Shahidi with the confidence of a Meg Thee Stallion. Pop soprano.
MARCUS, an African American Boy/Man, late teens/mid 20's. Charming, funny/comedic, handsome, undeniable swagger...and completely oblivious to it all - but he's lovable despite that. Strong rapper/singer/actor who moves well. A young Damon Wayans Jr. With a dash of Lamorne Morris mixed with the talent of an Usher.
NYEMA, an African American Woman mid/late 20s, part of Ensemble. Jamila's older sister and #1 supporter. Fun, blunt, single and always looking to mingle, comedic - the right balance of righteous and ratchet, but most importantly: she's unapologetic about who she is and where she comes from. Keke Palmer with a flair of Amanda Seales. Alto with a strong belt.
INTERVIEWER 1, a Woman, Man, or Gender Fluid/Non-binary, any ethnicity, late 20s, early 30s. The person most responsible for single-handedly making Jamila's life more complicated than it already is! Must be a strong rapper/actor/actress. Alto/baritone.
INTERVIEWER 2, a Woman, Man, or Gender Fluid/Non-binary, any ethnicity, early-mid 30s. A friendly, mentor-type who only wants to see the best out of Jamila. Could be a guest star cameo. Actor.
ENSEMBLE (5 to 8), All types, all ethnicities late teens/early 20s with the ability to portray students, civilians, friends, and bullies. Singers/actors/dancers.
