About the Job

Title: Founding Partner & Chief Cultural Officer Chaston is the ideological cornerstone of the company. Raised in wealth and prestige, he carries himself with ease, confidence, and a genuine belief in unity as protection. He believes deeply in Black excellence—and sees himself as its steward. Well-meaning but immovable, Chaston struggles to understand how his version of leadership can unintentionally limit those coming up behind him. He prefers harmony over confrontation and believes disruption risks everything they’ve built. His authority is rarely questioned—until it is. Performance Notes: An actor with gravitas, warmth, and quiet stubbornness. Needs to feel like someone people naturally defer to. This role benefits from subtle contradiction; charm paired with blindness. Think seasoned, respected presence who never imagines themselves as the obstacle.
