About the Job
Female. 16. Black. Southern. A gifted young musician who sees her future in songs, not protests. At first, she’s more focused on her piano than the movement, not taking the struggle as seriously as those around her. Over the course of the story, her resolve deepens, and she’s forced to confront her fears and discover a strength that brings her voice — and her conviction — to the forefront. Must balance moments of youthful charm with deep emotional weight. MUST SING CONFIDENTLY. PIANO PLAYING A PLUS. LOOKING FOR TALENT THAT AUTHENTICALLY APPEARS 16. TALENT CAN BE BASED ANYWHERE IN THE US.
