Role description

Miles’ aggressively mediocre corporate boss. A former frat guy who weaponizes corporate jargon and intimidation despite barely understanding what’s happening around him. Equal parts insecure and power-hungry. Tone: Office-space-style comedic antagonism. ANY RACE

Role description

A heavyset neighborhood kid with street connections and a laid-back attitude. Fat Rob hangs around with Silk and serves as one of the local low-level players who knows who's who on the streets. He's more talk than menace, preferring to joke around until confronted by someone tougher. ANY RACE

Role description

The seemingly normal suburban teenage son of Vance and Denise — awkward, withdrawn, and quietly unsettling beneath the surface. Johnny gives off the energy of someone trying very hard to appear ordinary while hiding an obsessive inner world. Intelligent, isolated, and emotionally disconnected, he becomes increasingly unnerving the longer you watch him. The role should balance deadpan comedy with genuine unpredictability. ANY RACE

Role description

PAST REN - Lead Playing age: Late 20s to early 30s Gender: Trans man Ethnicity: Open Ren before medical and social transition. He is impulsive, sincere, defensive, resourceful, romantically overconfident, emotionally chaotic, and unintentionally funny.

He is already completely Ren internally, even though the people around him perceive him differently. The role requires grounded comic instincts, emotional vulnerability, romantic confidence, and the ability to make Ren's wildly optimistic interpretations feel completely sincere. Performers of all gender identities are welcome to submit if they are comfortable portraying the character on these terms.
