EVAN HANSENBoth genders18-25 y.o.All ethnicities

18 and up to play 17, male identifying. Smart, sincere, and excruciatingly self-conscious. Evan prefers to hover in the background, too afraid to step forward into the spotlight and risk ridicule or, what might be worse, no one noticing him at all. Strong pop tenor G2 to B4.

ZOE MURPHYBoth genders18-25 y.o.All ethnicities

18 and up to play 16, female identifying. Sensitive and sophisticated with a sharp sense of humor. One of those popular kids who does not care and does not play the high school social status games. Zoe is troubled by the ambivalence she feels over her brother's death. Pop soprano F3 to E5.

ALANA BECKBoth genders18-25 y.o.All ethnicities

18 and up to play 17, female identifying. Earnest to a fault and thrives on melodrama, which hides a deeper loneliness and insecurity beneath an ever-present smile and an almost aggressive friendliness. Pop soprano F3 to E5.

CONNOR MURPHYBoth genders18-25 y.o.All ethnicities

18 and up to play 17, male identifying. An angry and disaffected loner. Connor has been a troubled kid for as long as anyone can remember. He is approached with caution by his peers and is a mystery to his parents. Pop bari-tenor G2 to G4.

JARED KLEINMANBoth genders18-25 y.o.All ethnicities

18 and up to play 17, male identifying. Droll and sarcastic. He covers his insecurities with a well-practiced swagger and a know-it-all arrogance. Pop tenor A2 to B4.

CYNTHIA MURPHYBoth genders40-59 y.o.All ethnicities

LARRY MURPHYBoth genders40-49 y.o.All ethnicities
