• Comfortable playing impatience, fairness, and “enough is enough” energy

• Able to stay composed while being accused of cruelty or betrayal

Role: Defendant — Tonya Hammons (Female, Mid–Late 40s, Any Race)
James Peterson claims Tonya Hammons owes him $1,650 connected to a graduation gift purchase.
