Available Roles:

MARTHA (Female/Age 52) A boisterous woman, the daughter of the President of the University; with quick-witted and often vicious eloquence, Martha seems to lay it all out on the table while simultaneously holding her cards close to her chest; her past is full of aspirations, broken dreams, and emotional trauma.
