What they find is much deeper and more gratifying than they could have ever imagined. If interested, pleasse apply.
3 roles
MALACHI A young boy, who is Samuel’s grandson (unknown to the audience/Samuel). Malachi is hopeful and energetic but overcompensates to feel worthy of love. This leads to comedic mistakes being made and Malachi learning how to accept and move past his mistakes. His favorite foods are French fries and pizza. He is schoolmates with Nyla & Kylan. *NOTE: This actor only needs to “look” the ages above and can certainly be played by an older child actor.
(10 -12) This young girl carries herself like a princess, not snobby but dramatic. Nyla “helps” people as if she’s providing them with a royal favor. She is definitely all charm and confidence. Bossy in the sweetest way. She is schoolmates with Malachi & Kylan. *NOTE: This actor only needs to “look” the ages above and can certainly be played by an older child actor.
(10 -12) This boy is Nonstop motion. Kylan's brain is always three steps ahead of his body. He touches everything, breaks half of it, then apologizes twice. Pure chaos with a big heart. He is schoolmates with Malachi & Nyla. *NOTE: This actor only needs to “look” the ages above and can certainly be played by an older child actor.
