LEAD. High school senior. Dating Katie. Straight-laced, overcommitted, but repressed. Used to play guitar, deep love for music. Tasked with setting up the school's prom under the watchful eye of Principal Johnson. Authority figures decided that he should focus on a business career instead of playing guitar. Has become a yes-man and cog in the machine. Bonds with the alien Basso. Note: Guitar plus singing abilities encouraged, but not required.

ΚΑΤΙΕFemale18-23 y.o.All ethnicities

SUPPORTING. Paul's trouble-making, revolution-ready girlfriend. Consistently fights back against the school's authority through musical theater and performance.

When Paul and the alien become friends, Katie immediately helps Paul and the alien evade government agents.

BASSOMale18-30 y.o.All ethnicities

SUPPORTING. The extraterrestrial of the film. Recently escaped from a government testing facility and is injured at the start of the film. Healed and powered by music.

PROM GOERSBoth genders18-23 y.o.All ethnicities

EXTRAS: Teenage prom-goers at Northwood High.

PRINCIPAL JOHNSONMale40-80 y.o.All ethnicities

SUPPORTING. Runs Northwood High with an iron fist, albeit, a bit cluelessly sometimes. A force of satire. Consumed by power and greed. Trying to do everything in his power to make sure prom goes perfectly so that he is not removed as the principal by the board of trustees. Pushes conformity onto each of his students, especially Paul, who he sees as a mentee.
