Mother / Juana
Zulema, Stay Here
About the Job
MOTHER / MOM (Juana) — Supporting — Pivotal Late 20s in flashback, late 30s present. Zulema's estranged mother. Fled domestic abuse with her younger child, leaving Zulema behind. Not a villain — a frightened woman who made a selfish, survival-driven choice and spends the present day seeking accountability without demanding forgiveness. Emotionally demanding, tear-heavy role. Note: “MOTHER” in flashbacks and “MOM” in present day are the same character. Bilingual (English/Spanish). Zulema's estranged mother, who fled abuse and left one child behind. A deeply emotional, tear-heavy role requiring an actress who can play guilt and accountability without seeking sympathy. Must read both late-20s (flashback) and late-30s (present), or the role may be split. Female · playable 28–40 · Latina/Hispanic · Bilingual a plus · STRONG SUPPORTING · SAG-AFTRA / Non-Union
