18-24 to play 17, open ethnicity. Alycia is a bold, direct, and outwardly confident teenager who knows how to charm when she wants to, but she struggles to connect deeply with people. She’s plagued by the belief that vulnerability leads to hurt; therefore, she actively avoids closeness at all costs. She’s flirtatious, attractive, and a social chameleon, allowing her to get what she wants out of people. Alycia begins our story seemingly content; however, when the childhood experiences that kick-started her fear of closeness creep into her present-day life, she must face her insecurities head-on to forgive herself for the situation that shattered her innocence.

8-14 to play 9yrs old, open ethnicity (to match performer cast as Alycia). Young Alycia is adorkable and unapologetically herself. Under her awkward but vibrant exterior, she has just begun to quietly crave acceptance and popularity among her peers. We meet her on a playdate with her crush, and even though they hang out, she believes that he will never really like her. In the joyous afterglow of playing with her crush, she meets a friend online with the screen name “jellybean614”, who she begins to open up to. Jellybean614 earns her trust, and in the process, Young Alycia is taken advantage of in a way that will haunt her for years to come. Must be comfortable with improv. Please note that performers will NOT be exposed to the mature themes/content in the script.

18-24 to play 19, open ethnicity, Sean is Alycia’s Tinder match who seems, on first glance, entirely too cool for school, until we realise he’s not as slick as he makes out to be. He’s endearing, good-hearted, and figuring his life out, just like anyone else. Going into his date with Alycia, he just wants to get to know her better. While Alycia believes he is just another boy taking advantage of her, by the end of the story, he helps her realise that she can be seen for who she truly is.

Open ethnicity, Jean is the cool aunt type and a born hustler. Despite some financial instability and having to make it work on her own, it is clear that Jean has lived a full and vibrant life. She’s a maid by day and Uber driver by night. While she is direct, even stern, she warms to Alycia when she picks her up on the side of the road. She’s tough, real, and one of the first people to show Alycia how to be who she really is.

Open ethnicity (to match performer cast as Alycia). Alycia’s mom is horrified to discover what happened to her young daughter. Out of fear, she instructs Alycia not to tell a soul about what happened to her. 2 scenes.

8-14 to play 9, open ethnicity. The cutest boy in the class and Alycia’s crush; we meet him in Alycia’s backyard, messing around with a camcorder. They play Simon Says, pretend they’re news broadcasters, and run around playing tag. Must be comfortable with improv.

Lollie is the main protagonist of our adventure. To call Lollie a best friend to Alaric would be a bit of a major stretch, but that is exactly what this sea explorer would call herself. She is very strong, brave, stubborn, has a wicked sense of humor, and is unafraid to speak her mind, even if it gets her into big trouble! But underneath all that rough exterior lies a beating heart of loyalty. She will battle alongside her new friends if the time calls for it. However this is her standalone adventure, so she’ll have to see how she can do things by herself. I envision her with a Lauren Ash-type voice.

A native of the tropical Fruity Fruit Island, Hugo is another playable hero alongside Lollie, and he is very noble and dedicated to protecting his land. He is also the same weight and size as Lollie, making him her perfect “block-smashing buddy”! He gets drawn into the conflict against Blackbeard when the pirate fires cannons at his island. Such a jerk move right there! Anyways, Hugo is more serious and practical than Lollie, and I envisioned him with an Idris Elba-type voice. He is a plus size Polynesian man.

Don’t worry…This guy is totally an original take on the famous fiend’s alibi! This Blackbeard is a greedy scoundrel who seeks to obtain the Crimson Clam…a magic diamond made by a joint venture with Fruity Fruit Island and Amazon Island centuries ago! Given this diamond enhances strength, this guy hopes to plunder all the gold he can! He has a deeper voice based on Peter Dinklage. He is a white ruffian.

Zappernik (Zapp) Greenwall is Lollie's younger brother. With a daredevil profession, he is no stranger to the thrills of adventure! He is reckless and courageous, but he stays behind to hopefully fix Lollie's ship when she goes on an adventure on Fruity Fruit Island!

Viper Thorne. Dark, brooding, self-loathing, the exact opposite of Lollie. A mercenary hired by Blackbeard, she hides her negative interior with a rather sadistic antihero way of life, but maybe Lollie can show her the brightest things in life. Disappointed by her size, she hopes to be a hero. Blackbeard actually lied to her when he said he wanted to turn over a new leaf, but imagine her shock if she knew the truth…Her voice is medium with a gloomy and edgy overtone that shows she means business. She will duel Lollie in nearly every level zone before you face the zone boss. She is a plus size white woman.

A lover of exploration, Ahab is inspired by Lollie’s sunshine personality to become an explorer like her after she decides to take up sailing. He is noble, steadfast, and dedicated. The two meet and fall in love and even get married! Unfortunately he sacrifices himself to save her from the Kraken as the vile beast attacks! He is remembered by Lollie. He is a white man.

Scarlett is an expert mechanic, a genius with machinery, and the younger sister of Ahab Stormforge, Lollie's late lover! She loves Lollie and has concern for her when she leaves Amazon Island, but through thick and thin she is suave and manipulative. She even stopped Nova's enemy Xandra by pretending to be a worker when she really set detonators all over the evil princess's ship! She has a medium-high voice with a hint of gentleness despite her sly demeanor. She also needs a hint of cunning and manipulative traits as she evolves into the heroic con who tricks villains in the future. She is a white trickster.

This is a lion with sand colors and habitat. A native in Fruity Fruit Island, they are somewhat territorial, which makes one Sand Lion a worthy boss for someone as strong as Lollie and Hugo! He is a lion.

Fido is Blackbeard’s pet shark. He is also very hungry for whoever gets too close to his jaws, especially when he is sent to take a bite out of Lollie and Hugo’s efforts! He is a shark.

Bloody Mary? No, try Muddy Mary! A cranky swamp hermit living in a gross and muddy section of Fruity Fruit Island, Muddy Mary prefers to keep to herself and is very territorial. As in, she HATES intruders, making her an ideal boss to fight as you travel through the Island. She has a rough and raspy voice. She only has one voice line, but feel free to audition with a dirty, raspy, and untidy voice that fits the smelly swamps that she dwells in. She has a raspy, untidy, deep voice that sounds like she has a cold. She also has the worst set of teeth I ever did lay eyes on! She is a swamp rat.

He is exactly what the name is. He hates floating things, so he likes to destroy them with his bare hands! Good thing Lollie and Hugo don’t fly, right? He is a man of stone.

A con man with military-grade firearms, Artillery Carl will hurl rockets at you as a boss sent by Blackbeard!

-Please perform the Johnny Moose portions of the script. -We'd also like you to include a short singing sample using a well-known children's song of your choice. This can be any familiar children's song you feel comfortable with singing and that shows us your personality and voice. -If you play guitar, we encourage you to accompany yourself during the singing portion so we can get a sense of your playing style as well. -If you do not play guitar, that is completely fine. Guitar or other instruments are a bonus, but singing is the main requirement. -Most importantly, have fun with it! Johnny Moose is warm, playful, musical and a little silly, so we'd love to see some of your own personality come through in the audition.
