1 role

GLORIAFemale12-14 y.o.All ethnicities

Must be able to play a 12 to 14 year old brat. The girl who lives upstairs. Abrasive, prickly, and difficult, Gloria's toughness is the armor of a child who has been failed by the adults in her life. She is not a brat so much as a survivor. Beneath her roughness is a loneliness she would never admit to. The actor must find the genuine affection developing between Gloria and Susan. Open to actors who can credibly read as a young adolescent.
