CURRENTLY SEEKING:

• LYDIA HILLARD Character is female (cis, transgender, or nonbinary), 18+ years old to play 15 years old, any ethnicity. Daniel and Miranda’s daughter, who has borne the brunt of their marital battles and their divorce and is angry at both of them, but she keeps a lid on it. Acerbic with a biting sense of humour but not snarky or sullen. She’s trying to keep her emotions in check as she is forced to grow up faster than she ever anticipated. She looks out for her younger siblings, and challenges both parents about their choices. Strong high belt singing voice. PRINCIPAL
• CHRISTOPHER HILLARD Character is male (cis, transgender, or nonbinary), 12 years old, any ethnicity. Daniel and Miranda’s son, a typical pre-teen boy who is a high-energy fast talker and likes soccer and video games and doesn’t like math. Usually good-natured, upbeat, and even-tempered, he tries to play a bit of the optimist and peacemaker between his parents. When he discovers Mrs. Doubtfire’s real identity, he is not as good as his sister at keeping the big secret. Strong singing voice. PRINCIPAL 
• NATALIE HILLARD Character is female (cis, transgender, or nonbinary), 8 years old, any ethnicity. Daniel and Miranda’s daughter, who is sweet, innocent, brutally honest but occasionally vulnerable about her parents’ fighting. No filter on what she says, she loves her family, loves stories, and hates kale. Strong singing voice. PRINCIPAL
