4 roles
A renowned and staunchly feminist professor who’s convinced she’s the hero in this debate. Pedantic, concerned, and prone to virtue-signalling. Narcissistic tendencies. Experience with a southern accent preferred.
A working-class kid from a small Texas town who arrives at college an outsider and leaves a radical conservative media pundit. Strategic, vindictive and more dangerous than he looks. Experience with a southern accent preferred.
Female or female presenting. Emily’s wife and a child speech pathologist who leads with empathy and curiosity. Patient, strong-willed, and understanding. Selfless and supportive - a foil to Emily’s self-involvement.
Head of the Economics department. Dry, institutional, and well-rehearsed. A talking head for the university with extensive PR awareness. Plays all sides as it best serves himself and the university.
