10 roles
Newest member of the committee. Has just returned from a funeral and missed the past meeting. Has a young child. Is new to town.
Pleasant and clear toned. A real leader.
Very run of the mill committee member. It wouldn’t be out of character to hear “This is the way we’ve always done it.”
Could have been either a prosecutor or high-level defense attorney if not for serving on this small town committee. Fast talker. Manipulative and wouldn’t care to hide it.
45+. The only member on the committee of color. Very, “let’s see where the chips fall,” kind of member. Doesn’t want to rock the boat too much.
Might be on the committee to bolster his image in town or to claim whatever extras he can. Transfixed on replacing the town fountain.
The town clerk. Does her job well and wants to do the right thing but can sometimes be led in other directions. Very organized.
75+. The longest serving member of the committee, and he’ll tell you. Doesn’t say much but when he does, he expects to be listened to, or should he be?
Neurotic and fidgety. Very climate conscious. Probably has more than one recycling bin in the driveway. Rides a bike everywhere to reduce carbon footprint. Not very talkative.
Sleazy used car salesman type. Will sell his vote to the highest bidder. Also plays stooge for Mayor Superba.
