Our Life: Steps 1 & 2 Roles
Olivia Steele for Pamela Last
Age: 37-years-old (Step 1, her age is different in the other Steps)
Voice: Medium to low pitch, expressive, lighthearted
Pamela is a mildly sarcastic jokester. She tends to be silly and say things that she knows will get a reaction out of the listener. Despite that lighthearted attitude, Pam is a big stickler for the rules and a worrier. At least when it comes to safety. Pamela is comfortable with the notion that sometimes things just don’t work out. She doesn’t act as though it’ll always be okay, but promises to always be there for those she loves.
“Nobody here is a loser or a rotten egg. You're each farm fresh.”
(Casual, encouraging, peacemaking. The kids are calling each other names and she’s waving away their insults.)
“Oh no, we are so dull. Let's get out more.”
(Amused, jokey, a bit sarcastic. Pam and her wife are out of touch with what’s happening in the area and Pamela is being silly about that.)
“As soon as dinner's ready, you lot are coming inside, understood?”
(Firm, clear, but not harsh. She’s letting the kids stay out a little later than usual and is making sure they know when they have to be back.)
