A very talented musician who’s clinging to her failing career of writing and performing children’s music. Her unusual childhood as a piano prodigy has rendered her a bit socially awkward but self-assured. Despite having no teaching experience, her messy life and slight immaturity allows her to relate to the students.

The very athletic and relentlessly positive school principal. Vicariously lives through the student athletes to compensate for his failed hockey career. He believes that anything can be achieved with the right mindset.

The band’s alto saxophone player. Physically awkward and overly dramatic, she considers herself to be a sex symbol despite having no prior experience (but she would never tell anyone this). Seemingly oblivious to other people’s judgement, she lives for performing and will do anything for the spotlight. ** Please only submit 18+ to play younger ** ** Musical Instrument/Alto Saxophone experience a plus but not necessary **

The trumpet player. A perfect straight-A student with ruthless ambition, she’s in the band in pursuit of an exemplary college application form.

She’s a bit uptight but is always eager to help others. ** Please only submit 18+ to play younger ** ** Musical Instrument/Trumpet experience a plus but not necessary **

After being homeschooled for most of her life, Lucy is struggling to adjust to the high school environment. Always picked last on the dodgeball teams, she looks like the kid who always smells weird. Behind her initial meekness is a desperate need for connection. ** Please only submit 18+ to play younger ** ** Musical Instrument experience a plus but not necessary **

The drummer. A loud and rambunctious jock-type who is always either vaping, eating cheetos, or playing a game on his phone. Brandon is not very sharp, but has a heart of gold behind his nonchalant façade. ** Please only submit 18+ to play younger ** ** Musical Instrument/Drums experience a plus but not necessary **

The keyboard player. Incredibly physically awkward with poor fashion taste, Stewart is a man of few words but many techno remixes. He is very selective about who he opens up to. ** Please only submit 18+ to play younger ** ** Musical Instrument/Keyboard experience a plus but not necessary **

The gym teacher with a passion for health, he seems like he’s always getting ready for a run. He’s very judgemental and is bad at hiding it.

The annoyingly cheerful English teacher who’s always wearing clashing prints. She’s well intentioned but her naïveté can initially come off as being passive aggressive

A very non-confrontational and encouraging mother. She is disappointed by how her daughter’s music career has turned out but would never dare tell her.

Tamara (late 20s/early 30s, Indigenous) is a migrant Indigenous sex worker originally from an unknown federally unrecognized Indigenous community in Southern California. She has been visiting Vancouver on six month stints using travellers Visas. She makes her money under the table doing full service work. Tamara is resilient, if chaotic and secretive. She met December through community in the DTES and the two became fast friends. In messy and forgetful fashion, she mixes up her current Visa due date and realizes she has less than twenty four hours to get back to America. Easy to rile up, she ultimately loves her friends and truly means well to those who show up for her. LEAD

December (30s, Indigenous) is a two-spirit Indigenous trans woman originally from Manitoba who has lived in the city of Vancouver for almost 10 years. She is a harm reduction worker, has lived experience as a sex worker, is a fiercely loyal friend and very independent.

She has family connections in the city in her cousin Anne and Aunt TIna but spends the day dodging persistent and mysterious phone calls from home [specifically her mother] while choosing to help her chosen family. She has a passion for the arts, particularly writing and drawing, a practice she does frequently but doubts her own potential in. LEAD

SOUTH-ASIAN OR SIMILAR Ria is smart, quirky, and slightly neurotic, with an overactive imagination. Originally from India, she’s adapted well to life in Canada—except for one thing: Western toilets. Used to squatting since childhood, she finds herself in a hilariously dire situation when she visits her boyfriend’s parents and realizes she can’t go without her trusty squat stool. As her desperation grows, so do her ridiculous makeshift solutions. She’s warm, lovable, and a little awkward—think Jess from New Girl meets Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids. Requirements: Strong comedic timing, expressive physical acting, ability to handle awkward humor.

CAUCASIAN Ben is a lovable, easygoing guy who adores Ria but is sometimes hilariously oblivious to her struggles. The classic golden retriever boyfriend—charming, affectionate, but not the most observant when it comes to subtle emotional cues. He’s thrilled to introduce Ria to his parents but remains completely unaware of the internal battle she’s fighting. Think John Krasinski in The Office meets Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Requirements: Natural comedic charm, strong chemistry with Ria, ability to deliver dry humor.

CAUCASIAN William is Ben’s dad—reserved, wise, and observant. He’s a man of few words but misses nothing. A former athlete with an air of quiet authority, he carries himself with the confidence of someone who’s seen it all. Beneath his composed exterior, he has a subtle sense of humor and a surprising level of understanding. He slowly picks up on Ria’s unusual behavior, and in the end, proves to be her unexpected ally. Think Nick Offerman in Parks and Rec meets J.K. Simmons in Juno. Requirements: Strong deadpan delivery, ability to express warmth beneath a stern demeanor.

CAUCASIAN Margaret is the warm, talkative, effortlessly sophisticated mother of Ben. She’s the type who thrives on making guests feel at home—sometimes too much. She dotes on Ria, offering large portions of homemade meals and suggesting touristy outings, oblivious to the fact that Ria is internally panicking the whole time. Think Julie Walters in Mamma Mia meets Catherine O’Hara in Schitt’s Creek.
