Garbage Hill features urban Indigenous characters. Some characters are written with specific backgrounds. However, all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit performers are welcome to apply.

[HARLEY SCHUMACK]

Female, Indigenous – Anishininew. 19 years old.

Harley is the Jonah Hill to Violet’s Michael Cera in Superbad. She can be loud and overbearing but there’s never a dull moment with her. She’s a good friend under all of her bravado and really sees herself as sensitive Violet’s protector. Always the tough guy, Harley will never put herself out there or show vulnerability-the polar opposite of heart-on-her sleeve BFF Violet. She has a lot of things to face, and she’ll have to decide how long she’s going to be a lightning rod for chaos. SERIES LEAD

– HARLEY WILL BE UNDER A 1+ 3-YEAR OPTION

[VIOLET FOSTER]

Female, Indigenous – Anishinaabe. 18 years old.

For intelligent and sensitive Violet, school has always been her comfort zone. And she’s excelled- she was even the class valedictorian and earned a scholarship to attend a fancy school in the fall. She’s got big plans to be a doctor. But Violet’s got an artistic side that’s about to become undeniable. Violet has a love at first sight with music (after an encounter with the dynamic frontwoman, Showboat Shaw) that hits her like a ton of bricks. And it’s that moment that will change the trajectory of her summer and her life. SERIES LEAD

– VIOLET WILL BE UNDER A 1+ 3 YEAR OPTION

[CARMIE ‘SHOWBOAT’ SHAW]

Female, Afro-Anishnaabe. 20 years old. LGBTQI2S.

Showboat is a talented, magnetic, natural performer. Music is her life, her survival, her self-expression. She’s hard working, ambitious and eager to experience a world beyond Winnipeg where she feels she can flourish as an artist. Emotionally intelligent, her relationship with Violet begins as a mentorship and grows into a true artistic partnership. She will find a musical match, a lightening in a bottle collaboration with Violet that will change the course of their summer and their lives. SERIES REGULAR

[PARASITE]

19, Indigenous.

Parasite is Jay’s eccentric little brother. He’s a rugged backyard wrestler with dreams of making it to the WWF. In stark contract from his ring persona, Parasite is an honest, sensitive, genuine young man who wears his heart on his sleeve. He strikes up a meaningful friendship with Cousin Cheryl when she agrees to be his manager. SERIES REGULAR

[COUSIN CHERYL]

19, Indigenous – Nêhiyaw / Ininew. LGBTQI2S.

Cousin Cheryl is the spark that brings everyone together. She is a sharp, natural entrepreneur. She’s the kind of person who always knows a guy who knows a guy, is connected, and gets things done. She keeps friends from taking themselves too seriously, with an inherent wild-mind wisdom that is both confusing but important to follow. She can seem aloof causing people to underestimate her. SERIES REGULAR

[MICKEY PARKS]

Female, 18, Indigenous.

Chaos magnet Mickey Parks is walking, talking dynamite always ready to go off. On the surface she seems like nothing more than a bully but there’s much more to her than meets the eye. Adopted into a very wealthy family, Mickey is frustrated and isolated as she straddles multiple worlds that she doesn’t quite fit into. Mickey is a loyal friend, a ride or die, a delicate, unruly soul with the heart to match. SERIES REGULAR

Series Overview: Indigenous best friends Violet and Harley navigate the complexities of growing up and growing apart in 2000s Winnipeg as they grapple with their uncertain futures the summer after high school.
