(Supporting, Speaking) Backstory - Dave started as a stagehand and climbed the ranks to become a show manager. He was never a performer, but he understands the grueling nature of the industry. His harsh demeanor stems from experience-he’s seen talented people break under the weight of the job, and he doesn’t have the patience for uncertainty.
CHRISSY (Supporting, Speaking) Backstory - Chrissy is a veteran chorus girl, hardened by years of fighting for her place on stage. She’s seen countless hopefuls come and go, and she refuses to let anyone-especially someone like Alyse, who seems to be losing her spark-jeopardize her position. Once as enthusiastic as newcomers like Lilly, Chrissy has been shaped by rejection and relentless competition, leaving her sharp-tongued and territorial.
