Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking teen girl for "How The Light Gets In" play. See the details below. About the project: In a Japanese garden, four isolated people cross paths at moments when their lives are cracking open. Grace Wheeler is a travel writer who never travels, now facing a frightening breast cancer diagnosis. Haruki Sakamoto is a Japanese architect hired to design a tea house, but he cannot find the shape of it — or the courage to say what he feels. Kat Lane is a homeless seventeen-year-old runaway hiding beneath the garden's weeping willow. Tommy Z is a tattoo artist whose gift for seeing people clearly is complicated by his own grief and addiction. As their stories begin to intertwine, the garden becomes a place of unlikely refuge: a space where illness, fear, love, damage, and tenderness can be spoken aloud. Inspired by the Leonard Cohen lyric, the play is a lyrical, humane story about brokenness, connection, and the possibility that our cracks may become the places where light enters. Note that this play includes frank descriptions of breast cancer and its treatment, suicide, and addiction.

KAT LANEFemale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A homeless runaway living beneath the weeping willow in the Japanese Garden. Hollow-eyed, wary, sharp, and resourceful, Kat wears layers of clothing that obscure her gender and help her feel protected. She is carrying both visible and invisible wounds, and her defensive humor masks deep vulnerability. Through Grace and Tommy, she begins to encounter safety, trust, and the possibility of being cared for. Also plays: Med Tech, Akiko Yamamoto
