Casting Teen Girl Wanted for Theatre Play "49 Days"

African American and Japanese, at ages 17 and 36. Basic Japanese skills. Grew up in America and has little connection with her mother Kaoru’s home country of Japan. Having just lost her father, Mari has taken it upon herself to be her mother’s everything. But at times she’s overcome with sadness and despair that leads her to self-harm. At the top of the play, she is torn between these states: the good, parentified child and then the inner child who’s screaming for help.
