4 roles

WILLMale36-44 y.o.White / Caucasian

Newly arrived to Boise from a smaller, more obscure Idaho town, Will has seemingly left behind his some would say cult-like church, and his fervent religious zealotry, to attempt to reconnect with ALEX, the son WILL gave up for adoption as an infant years ago when he was quite young himself; WILL applies for a job at the same Hobby Lobby at which ALEX works. Possessed of a mild manner, an accommodating demeanor, and seemingly benevolent intentions, WILL has an active life online.

PAULINEFemale36-55 y.o.All ethnicities

Manager of the Boise Hobby Lobby. A scrappy survivor who has seen some things in her life, and who has put blood, sweat, and tears into keeping this Hobby Lobby alive and thriving; possessed of a natural sense of humor and a sometimes cutting and caustic wit, she can read you the riot act one second and then ask you sincerely how your personal life is going the next, a quality that makes her an unpredictable live wire.

ANNAFemale25-34 y.o.All ethnicities

An employee at the Hobby Lobby who like WILL hides in the aisles at closing time to remain there after hours to pursue personal interests, in her case, reading. Creative and curious, ANNA has worked hard for her not-easily-won independence; not the most socially adept human on the planet, she can be flighty and inadvertently funny but is not without gravitas and a reserve of untapped emotional intelligence, weight, and grace.

LEROYMale25-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Alex’s protective, witty and perhaps even wise, older, adoptive brother. A visual artist whose work seeks to disrupt what he sees as unacceptable cultural norms/tropes with in-your-face words and images that make bold statements and demand attention. Getting a master’s degree in Fine Art. Sees working at Hobby Love as its own sort of performance art.
