3 roles

PAULMale8-12 y.o.All ethnicities

LEAD. The energetic, theatrical, youngest sibling who thinks he’s in charge. When his family was moved out into rural Pennsylvania by his father, he was distraught to find how quiet it was, much different from the New York carnivals and theatre shows he had grown up admiring. Quiet moments therefore must be filled by imaginative games.

MARGARETFemale10-13 y.o.White / Caucasian

LEAD. The protective older sibling. Cool and calculating, hiding a deep rage inside. She’s searching for a reason for that rage to be justified -- and the war gives it to her.

BENEDICTMale8-12 y.o.All ethnicities

SUPPORTING. Quiet, reserved, the drummer boy in the local militia.
