8 roles
STRONG SUPPORTING The hyper-competent, controlling principal of Bexley High who is preparing to leave her post and run for mayor. Kelly is a grown-up, slightly washed-up Tracey Flick: ambitious, image-conscious, intensely organized, and convinced she knows what is best for everyone around her. $250 budgeted; tentatively needed for full day 10/26
SUPPORTING A former classmate who has somehow made it to middle age without entirely realizing he is middle-aged. Colten shows up to the 30-year reunion in a backwards cap, basketball jersey, and khakis. He is loud, oblivious, casually inappropriate, and endlessly enthusiastic about his latest ventures in crypto, drop-shipping, and rec basketball. Colten quickly becomes Frank and Jason’s prime suspect. $100 budgeted; tentatively needed for half day on 10/26 and evening on 10/27
TO PLAY 15 — SUPPORTING Colten’s 15-year-old son and one of Frank’s students. An odd, detached teenager with enormous baggy jeans, a dry attitude, and zero interest in attending his dad’s high school reunion. Should feel completely ordinary and inscrutable rather than overtly sinister, allowing the character’s surprising role in the story to land naturally. $100 budgeted; tentatively needed for half day on 10/26 and evening on 10/27
SUPPORTING A douchebag in high school who has matured into a douchebag in real estate. Slick, distracted, self-important, and glued to his phone, Graham barely registers Frank and Jason’s increasingly strange interrogation before taking another call. Looking for someone who can immediately embody aging suburban salesman energy. $100 budgeted; tentatively needed for half day on 10/26
SUPPORTING An Army veteran with a fiercely patriotic aesthetic, an American-flag polo, and a newly grown mustache that lands unfortunately close to Hitler territory. Earnest, masculine, and completely oblivious to why Frank and Jason find him suspicious. The comedy should come from total sincerity rather than playing Gary as threatening or extreme. $100 budgeted; tentatively needed for 1-2 hours 10/25 and half day 10/26
SUPPORTING Recently divorced, perpetually angry, and convinced he is still the best athlete in the room despite being decidedly average. Anson channels his frustration into lifting weights and wanting to punch things, but underneath the macho exterior is an emotionally needy guy who is genuinely touched when Jason seems to understand him. $100 budgeted; tentatively needed for 1-2 hours 10/25 and half day 10/26
SUPPORTING The owner of the town’s go-to yoga studio, Jules hears all the gossip that passes through her classes... and she loves every second of it. A health nut dressed head-to-toe in the latest high-tech athleisure, she can also usually be found with a martini in hand. Jules is a walking treasure trove of information about everything happening in Bexley. $100 budgeted; tentatively needed for half day on 10/26
20 Males + Females, 45-60. $50/each budgeted; tentatively needed for half day on 10/26
