Lead. Caleb is a troubled and complex young man spiraling into the depths of guilt, denial, and fractured reality. He’s emotionally distant, battling internal demons after a traumatic incident he refuses to fully confront. This role demands emotional range, subtlety, and vulnerability. Caleb isn’t loud — his turmoil simmers just beneath the surface. As the story unfolds, his inner world unravels, and the audience begins to question what’s real and what’s imagined.
Application deadline closed.
