About the Job
Age Range: Mid–20s to early 30s Gender: Female Role Type: Lead / Emotional Anchor Character Summary: Rae is a grounded, emotionally aware woman navigating the slow unraveling of a relationship with a man she deeply loves but can no longer reach. She is patient, intuitive, and resilient—often putting her partner’s needs before her own until the emotional cost becomes undeniable. Rae’s journey is one of quiet endurance, emotional confrontation, and eventual self-preservation. Personality & Emotional Range: Rae leads with empathy and restraint, but beneath her calm exterior is a woman holding years of unspoken hurt. She is not reactive by nature; her pain builds internally before surfacing in raw, honest moments. The actor must be able to convey layered emotions—hope, disappointment, longing, frustration, grief—often without dialogue. Rae’s strength lies in her vulnerability, not her volume. Performance Requirements: Strong ability to communicate emotion through subtle facial expression and body language Comfortable with intimate, emotionally charged scenes Capable of delivering extended monologues that feel natural and unforced Able to balance controlled restraint with moments of emotional release Must convincingly portray the transition from loving patience to emotional resolve Key Themes Explored Through Rae: Emotional availability vs. emotional absence Loving someone who cannot fully show up The cost of waiting to be chosen Choosing self-worth over familiarity
