CHRISTOPHERMale15-18 y.o.All ethnicities

(Stage age: 15) A good kid. He does not lie, and he is very literal-minded: metaphors make no sense to him, nor do facial expressions. He hates certain colors and cannot bear to be touched. While he is a mathematical genius, he can be very naive about things. Christopher is neurodivergent and finds the world overwhelming at times. NOTE: While directors encourage all interested actors to audition for this role, directors are open to casting strong neurodivergent actors.
