6 roles
(Male identifying) – He is in a bit of a life crisis. Stan has the tendency to put on airs to impress others, even if it means lying to himself. He is the curator of the group, always bringing people together.
(Male identifying or non-binary. Black or Hispanic) - Gaudy from the moment he exited the womb. Think shawls, leopard print and shades in gray weather. Rance is both the life of the party and the most loyal friend you’ll ever find. Note: This character uses the pronouns He/Him throughout the play.
(Male identifying. Any ethnicity) - A ball of nervous energy. He can be a lot. Blair will blabber first and think later. He is a lover and listener who is easily triggered to tears.
(Male identifying. Any ethnicity) - A chill, under the radar personality. He is very anti-drama. He comes off as indifferent, but love is definitely up his sleeve.
(Male identifying. Black or Hispanic) - Gen Z on fleek. He’s not here for your BS or anyone else’s. In chaos he remains collected. Though the youngest in the group, Niko is wise beyond his years.
(Male identifying. Any ethnicity) - He’s firm and direct. Tony will quickly step in and mediate a situation if he feels things are getting out of hand. He’d rather be a fly on the wall than centerstage.
