Familiarity with American Sign Language or the ability to learn one is required. ASL instruction will be provided.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Marianne: 25-40 Female or female presenting. Astrophysicist. Vivacious and playful when we first meet her but must come to terms with the development of a brain tumor, which sometimes affects her speech, and with its various prognoses.
Roland: 30-40 Male or male presenting. A beekeeper and Marianne's partner. Divorced and down on his luck. Grounded, gentle nature contrasts with Marianne's intellectualism, providing emotional depth and support.
