3 roles
HANSEL | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 10 - 13 (Male/Masc, 10–13), Cautious and thoughtful, but easily influenced by others—especially his bold younger sister. Though hesitant to take risks, Hansel ultimately wants to protect his family and do the right thing.
GRETEL | Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 8 - 12 (Female/Femme, 8–12), Rebellious, mischievous, and endlessly curious. Gretel charges headfirst into adventure without always thinking through the consequences, often pulling Hansel along for the ride.
MULTI-CHARACTER TRACK | Male or Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 10 - 17 (Open Gender, 10–18 or Adult Playing Young), A quirky and slightly awkward neighborhood kid who becomes an unexpected ally in the story. Also doubles as a variety of digital avatars and Pixel Clippy, a trapped chatbot AI hidden deep within the Witch’s basement network. This track has strong comedic timing and versatility for multiple transformations.
