CASTING:

JAMIE – LEAD ROLE – FEMALE – 25-35 YRS OLD
Jamie is a sweet, sensible, and down to earth woman who is excited about moving into her new home with her girlfriend Anna. She is intrigued by an old photograph that she finds in the house and seeks to find the history behind the people within the photograph. She is curious, but superstitious and finds it quite upsetting when she discovers that a ritualistic murder suicide happened in the house and that Anna was keeping it a secret from her. Jamie is the type to believe in the negative and positive forces, but sometimes has too much pride to accept what she may be experiencing or to just ignore the signs.
** Must be alright with intimacy (i.e – Kiss on cheek with partner)

ANNA – LARGE PRINCIPAL ROLE – FEMALE – 25-35 YRS OLD
Anna is a hard-working leader who is thrilled to be moving into her new home with her girlfriend Jamie. She spends most of her time working at the hospital, and so unlike Jamie, she sees the world in a more realistic way without the possibility of afterlife. Although she loves Jamie, she finds her spirituality could have gotten in the way of finally moving into a home together and so she buys the house without having told Jamie about the house’s dark history. Anna can be stubborn and selfish at times, but she genuinely cares about those most important to her.
** Must be alright with intimacy (i.e – Kiss on cheek with partner)

NANCY – SMALL PRINCIPAL ROLE – FEMALE – 25-40 YRS OLD
Nancy is one of the ghosts that haunt the house and was a good person. She has a traumatic past, she was murdered by her very own husband, Fred. Nancy did not choose this path, she did not want to die. She is deeply saddened and upset with what happened to her. She is a hungry ghost and is looking to breath new life inside someone else, but doing so would harm someone, she is torn between this choice.
** Non-speaking role

FRED – SMALL PRINCIPAL ROLE – MALE – 25-40 YRS OLD
Fred was your typical 1950s husband who loved his wife Nancy more than anything until one day he brutally murdered her in their home and proceeded to kill himself. Fred is now a nasty spirit. He used to be a good man, but something drove him to madness which caused him to murder his wife. Fred is still a miserable person, and the pure evil that entered his veins the day he murdered Nancy still haunts him to this day. He is always on the look to reek havoc on anyone that enters his home.
** Non-speaking role
