About the Job

[TATIANA] [EARLY 30’S] [FEMALE] [BLACK] [LEAD] A nurse who stays functional by staying busy. Calm and capable on the surface, she keeps her emotions tightly controlled and often reacts a beat late, as if her body is moving while her mind is elsewhere. She avoids stillness, filling quiet moments with routine and task. When alone, her focus drifts—she stares too long, repeats small actions, or loses track of time. Her grief shows up subtly through restraint: shallow breath, tension in the jaw or hands, moments of disconnection rather than outward emotion. As the loop continues, her control begins to crack—small slips become harder to hide—until she is forced to stop moving and face what she’s been avoiding. Ultimately, her journey teaches her that accepting her reality can open doors that once seemed impossible. This role requires a performer who can communicate inner life through stillness, physical behavior, and restraint, without dialogue. Interested in seeing actual Daughter/Father duos as well.
