Roles Agnes / The Witch (Female, 30s–40s): Once a healer and mother, now bound by grief. Maternal yet volatile — shifting between sorrow, warmth, and menace. Needs an actor with a strong emotional range who can move between quiet vulnerability and sudden rage. (Tenderness, despair.) The Boy (Male, 13–16): Adventurous, restless, and quietly wounded by neglect. Drawn to danger and starved for maternal affection, he becomes the perfect vessel for Agnes’ obsession. Requires emotional vulnerability and the ability to play entranced/possessed states. The Girl (Female, 12–16): Cautious and intuitive. She becomes the audience’s anchor — wounded by a tragic loss, protective of her friend, vulnerable, brave and defiant against the witch. Role involves minor stunts (running, falling to the ground, crawling, forcefully swinging a medium sized object against wall). Safety mats and other precautions will be in place. Experience with movement (dance, gymnastics, etc.) is an asset but not required. Audition Instructions Submit a self-tape audition: Read individual lines AND scene lines for your role. If auditioning for the Girl, please feel free to read lines from either or both scenes provided, although both is not a requirement (Girl, Agnes, Boy). Upload your video to the form. Headshot (recent photo is fine for newcomers). Resume (optional).
