A romantic comedy about when to quit, when to hold on, and whether stealing from your day job counts as following your heart.

3 role s
Peppy, uninhibited, has grit. (Have you read that book about “grit”? She hasn’t either, but she will still talk to you about it.) Going to be a singing sensation one day, but, at present, she’s a manager at a restaurant called Arouse. Boundless enthusiasm for life and her career, lets criticism roll off her back absurdly easily.
Former songwriter working front of house at Arouse. He wrote that song “Water My Soul.” Maybe you’ve heard of it? It’s cool if you haven’t. He kind of doesn’t want to talk about it. He kind of doesn’t want to talk about a lot. Mostly wants to keep his head down and work but maybe someday open a furniture workshop. Down to earth and charming but a little over it all. Still a good guitar player (and will noodle in the show).
Someone convinced her to quit her job in tech and pursue an MFA in poetry. Now, of course, she’s a front of house server at Arouse with a student loan to pay off. Not the best at her job (but is kind of the best at writing poetry), but it’s not from lack of trying and more lack of motivation. Would love to start a health food store in Vermont. Thinks it would be fun. Secretly has a very good singing voice.
