Founders Keepers
The nation is in crisis. Washington DC is burning and the government has assembled five 5th grade girls to rewrite the Constitution of the United States. Friendships form and break as these young women struggle with grief, power, and what it means to grow up in a broken democracy.
Tabitha - 11 1⁄2. An unreliable voice of reason who clings onto her friends for dear
life. Favorite animal: dolphins and sharks.
Gillian - 11. Has probably read Harry Potter 5 times. Hides her weirdness in order
to stay “popular”. Favorite animal: foxes.
Nicole - 10. Powerful, but extremely insecure. Way too serious for her age. Favorite
animal: tigers and other big cats.
Imogen - 9. Wears the same cardigan every day. Hasn’t washed her hair today.
Always tense because she carries a lot of grief in her little body. Favorite animal:
betta fish.
Winnie - 10. BRACES. Has a lot to say but isn’t sure how to say it. Unapologetic
when she can afford to be. Favorite animal: she is connected to horses on a spiritual
level but is NOT a horse girl.
Mysterious woman - Come on, not that old.
Woman - Old. Animals are messy.
