About the Job
[VENUS] Female, 30s, African American. A classically trained violinist, VENUS is a determined but emotionally guarded woman who arrives at the house she and her wife, HARLEY, have inherited, with hope but slowly unravels as haunting visions pull her toward a past she didn’t live—but is somehow connected to. She’s perceptive, spiritual, and deeply in love with HARLEY but begins to question everything as the house's secrets seep into her dreams and body. VENUS doesn’t just want to survive the haunting—she wants to reclaim the narrative. She represents legacy, lineage, and the ache of unacknowledged history. LEAD. Note: Violin skills are not required (performance will be mimed on camera), though a musical background is a plus.
