Harry Potter at the Turn of the Century?
We have two kids, Andrew & Jake sharing duties as the character of Little Boy.
Come to think of it, it's interesting how the African American characters have names: Sarah & Coalhouse, while the other non-historical principal characters don't: Mother, Younger Brother, Little Boy. Even Tateh is really a form of 'papa' rather than an actual given name.
Anyway, Andrew & Jake have done shows together before and are good buddies. Director Jay Manley is mulling over having the Little Boy character wear glasses. So the two buddies have taken it upon themselves to start wearing glasses during rehearsal.
Only they wear different pairs each time, and each a little bit more wacky than the next. They've worn grown-up reading glasses (lenses poked out of course) poindexters and their favorite, big ol' Harry Potter glasses.
They're just giving the director options. I'm sure that's it!
