CAST OF CHARACTERS
JAMILA, an African American Girl/Woman, late teens/mid 20's. Quirky, charming,
intelligent, and wise beyond her years. Michelle Obama is totally her idol and she wants
nothing more than to attend Princeton just like her. Think Lyric Ross with a little bit of
Willow Smith with the vocal range of Chloe x Halle. Strong singer/actress, rap and dance is
a plus. Soprano with a pop belt.
HARPER, an African American Girl/Woman, late teens/mid 20's. The antagonist and most
popular girl in school (duh), is attractive, confident, and energetic. She's someone who is never
told "no"...she always gets what she wants, when she wants it - otherwise, there's trouble!
Strong rapper/dancer/singer/actress. Yara Shahidi with the confidence of a Meg Thee
Stallion. Pop soprano.
MARCUS, an African American Boy/Man, late teens/mid 20's. Charming, funny/comedic,
handsome, undeniable swagger...and completely oblivious to it all - but he's lovable despite
that. Strong rapper/singer/actor who moves well. A young Damon Wayans Jr. With a dash
of Lamorne Morris mixed with the talent of an Usher.
NYEMA, an African American Woman mid/late 20s, part of Ensemble. Jamila's older sister
and #1 supporter. Fun, blunt, single and always looking to mingle, comedic - the right
balance of righteous and ratchet, but most importantly: she's unapologetic about who she is
and where she comes from. Keke Palmer with a flair of Amanda Seales. Alto with a strong
belt.
INTERVIEWER 1, a Woman, Man, or Gender Fluid/Non-binary, any ethnicity,
late 20s, early 30s. The person most responsible for single-handedly making Jamila's life
more complicated than it already is! Must be a strong rapper/actor/actress. Alto/baritone.
INTERVIEWER 2, a Woman, Man, or Gender Fluid/Non-binary, any ethnicity, early-mid
30s. A friendly, mentor-type who only wants to see the best out of Jamila. Could be a guest star
cameo. Actor.
ENSEMBLE (5 to 8), All types, all ethnicities late teens/early 20s with the ability to portray
students, civilians, friends, and bullies. Singers/actors/dancers.
