understanding of human life; however the Specters will be invisible to the humans except for one
young girl with incredible vision, called The Believer, who will establish communication with one of
the Specters.
Looking to cast the following roles: The Believer: A young woman with incredible vision who is
able to see the otherwise unseen Specter The Specter: A masked being (gender neutral) dressed in
white. Note this role has no speaking lines since the voice of the Specter will be composed of
electronic music.
