ROLES

CHRIS WANG, aka WANG-WANG, Male (11-14) – Chinese / Taiwanese American – Impressionable, angsty, and charmingly brace-faced. Manga enthusiast, amateur cameraperson, and fledgling skate nerd. Wrestles with a complex inner sense of identity that he can’t fully comprehend yet: too Asian for the white kids, too white for the Asian kids.
*Must be able to speak conversational Mandarin. Skateboarding experience a plus.*

FAHAD MAHMOOD, Male (11-14) – South Asian American – Charismatic, lovable, young brown casanova (or so-he-thinks). A natural storyteller.

JIMMY KIM – aka SOUP, Male (11-14) – Korean American – Loudmouth, no-filter goofball. Lives on a healthy diet of kimchi-jjigae, Monster energy, and underground hip-hop: Blue Scholars, Atmosphere, Nujabes are the soundtracks to his life. A loose cannon of untamed emotion. Gochujang on everything, DGAF about nothin’.
