5 roles

SHAEMale20-24 y.o.All ethnicities

Lead : As a victim, Shae is thrust under the microscope of peer pressure. As she faces unreliable memories, she’s forced to dive deep into both her vulnerability and strength.

CHANMale20-24 y.o.All ethnicities

Lead: A charismatic devil, Chan’s popularity is undeniable; a fact that Shae isn’t immune to. Easy-going and charming.

PROFESSOR QUINNMale30-59 y.o.All ethnicities

Lead: Simultaneously enthusiastic and wildly impatient with the students, Quinn is a larger-than-life fairytale caricature that brings pig dissection to the next level.

MARTINMale20-24 y.o.All ethnicities

Supporting: A watered-down version of Chan, Martin’s leering interest in Shae is a red flag. His attempts to get at Shae are cliché “frat boy” behavior.

IRENEFemale20-24 y.o.All ethnicities

Supporting : Irene is naïve and a bit flighty. Her inability to see things below the surface contributes to what unfolds at the college party and in the lab.
