LEAD. The oldest in the group, but ironically the most childish. Rob is the jokester—quick with a sarcastic remark and always finding humor in the chaos. Though they deflect with comedy, there’s a depth beneath the surface that occasionally slips through. They truly care for their friends. Must be comfortable performing in water and wearing a bathing suit or wet-suit. A valid driver’s license is a bonus for a potential driving scene.
LEAD. The voice of reason in the group. Grounded and logical, Shawn steps in to de-escalate when tensions rise—but isn’t afraid to call someone out when they’re out of line. MUST be comfortable performing in water and wearing a bathing suit or wet-suit.
DAY PLAYER - A haunting, weathered presence who appears when least expected, offering cryptic warnings to the group—without ever speaking a word. Communicates through expression, gesture, and an unsettling, otherworldly aura. This role requires potential prosthetic and special effects makeup. MUST be comfortable with long hours in the makeup chair. Note: This character does not enter the water.
LEAD. Awkward, kind-hearted, and always along for the ride—even if begrudgingly. On the surface, Drew tries to play it cool and pretend he doesn’t care, but deep down, he cares a lot—especially about his friends. He’s the type to crack a dry joke to mask real feelings. This role involves special effects makeup and prosthetic. MUST be comfortable with long hours in the makeup chair, performing in water, and wearing a bathing suit or wet-suit.
