"Vámonos"
(All characters are Black Dominicans.)
Juana:
Late 40’s, single mother of 3 [Alex, Yours, and Edward], abuela of 1
[Baby Chris]. Very dedicated to family but toxic in her language toward
her children. She likes to let loose and have fun just as much as she is
ready to lay the hammer down and hold authority in her home.
Yoira:
20, the only girl of her siblings and middle child. Struggles between
how she can redefine being a mother and keep Juana off of her back. She
doesn't regret having her newborn son, but she certainly had bigger
dreams for herself.
Edward/Alex: Edward: 15, the youngest of his
siblings. athletic and smart but unfocused in school. Struggling between
being a teen and being a self-defined man. Challenged with anger issues
and yearning for a healthy male role model which he lost when his
brother left to serve in the Army. Alex: 23, Juana’s oldest. Recently
enlisted into the army. Young dude who struggles with college but wanted
to make something of himself and joined the military (pre 9/11).
Anna:
Early 40’s, Juana’s younger sister, mother of 2, happily married to
Pablo. She is a devout Catholic, stay at home mom, and loves to honor
tradition. She’s uptight but cares deeply about family values and the
wellbeing of everyone. She’s stubbornly Republican and believes the
Democrats use minoritized people for their own circus to unravel the
good word of God.
Pablo: 40’s, Anna’s husband. Cab driver, un
charlatan, has been in the U.S. longer than his wife--their marriage
granted her citizenship, very up to date with current events, loves to
talk and tell long stories, loves sports, food, and his family. He’s not
a womanizer, he’s a soft jovial spirit who likes to present tough but
teach with grace.
Juli: 15, chubby, Anna’s oldest child, feels
out of place in her Dominican culture and values, wants the highest good
for everyone she loves but often feels silenced. She’s navigating her
intuitive gifts and magic--without guidance from her family who shames
the notion that she had visions.
Junior: 12, Julie’s annoying
little brother. Loves video games and sugar. Victimizes himself to get
his way--he’s very smart. He yearns to be validated.
