As a part of our Young Artists' Initiative, MediaContex will work with its partners to create a pilot of an audiodrama of our students' original idea:
Synopsis
On a daring whim, Sophia packs her bags, and flies halfway across the world to meet the sister she has never known. Although she hopes to remain with her twin, Gracie's conservative family has other plans for her life. Will they find a way to stay together, or will reality separate them once more?
Character List
Sophia
Gender: Female
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.
Spirited and bold, Sophia is a teenager who hopes for the best, and will go the distance to achieve her dreams. Her optimism will be tested on her journey to find her sister, which will require her to overcome several obstacles to stay with her twin.
Lines:
- (Neutral) I'll be fine, mom. We'll see each other in two weeks.
- (Surprised) Gracie? I-is that you?
- (Sad) Gracie and I were put up for adoption at birth. I didn't even know I had a twin until I was twelve.
- (Angry) You can't do this! I didn't fly halfway across the world to be turned away!
ryan
Gender: Male
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.
Ryan, Sophia's loyal boyfriend, tags along on her trip across the world. Although he admires Sophia's spirited nature, he is afraid that her childlike optimism will lead her into danger, and decides to accompany her on her adventure.
Lines:
- (Neutral) Our flight's at nine. We should leave now if we want to make it on time.
- (Happy) Sophia, this is it. We found the place!
- (Curious) Sophia mentioned that she received a message from you. How did you find her?
