Role description

In the beginning, Rebekah was a child actress, so we know she’s headed for a rocky adulthood. As a potential Shirley Temple, she had stellar opportunities, like the time Spielberg thought he found his Gertie for E.T. only to be yanked by the production when Rebekah’s mom-ager found out the title wasn’t J.C. and the blockbuster would have nothing to do with the heavenly being she had envisioned. Just 39, Rebekah is still trying to hitch her dreams to a star and finds comfort in her weekly radio hymn and hum along show, Trinity, which she co-hosts with her best friend since community college, Japheth. Mission: Not a girl, not yet a woman. To become the bad good-ass woman she’s destined to be by sharing her faith and fresh ideas confidently on her radio show. Fatal Flaw: Trusting to let her own light shine and cast away the long, dark,overreaching shadow of her conservative Mom-ager.

Role description

Japheth, 38, also an aspiring actor, and despite his age, claims to have turned down Tom Cruise’s role in Risky Business due to a concern of the lust he would inspire by sliding around wood floors in socks and underwear. He’s studied the scene meticulously since and indeed all of Cruise’s work and is happy to provide detailed analysis on anything Cruise-related with minimal prompting. Japheth is a multi-tasking machine, much like his best friend Rebekah. His passions and projects include divination and nephology (applying meaning to the study of cloud formations), singing and songwriting, modeling (for a sexy Jesus calendar, coffee-cup and greeting card line), and of course, co-hosting the Trinity radio show on JWYD. Mission: To host a successful radio show without compromising his integrityor self-worth. Fatal Flaw: Needs to accept his authentic self and sexuality by redefining his perceived faults as assets. Then he can unleash the super-human dormant inside.

Role description

Weinus is a weiner. He’s also a lawyer. Just not the pretend one on the billboard across the street from his office, that’s a photo of Micah. That stand-in lawyer was randomly selected by Weinus from photos on a website called LiveJournal. But since ‘Micah’ came to work at Weinus, Weinus andWare, LLC - business has started to boom! More people are tripping, slipping,and falling their way into his office than he can ever recall. Unfortunately, most don’t want to be represented by Weinus. They were hoping for Micah. So Weinus sent him on a long, long, long hiatus. A sabbatical of sorts which has worked out especially well since Micah isn’t actually on payroll. Weinus’ (in the guise of Micah) newest clients are a rag-tag gaggle of radio jockeys needing entertainment law advice. It’s not Weinus’ (or Micah’s) area of practice but they’ve promised to pay and really, what could go wrong? Mission: To keep the charade going as long as he possibly can. Fatal Flaw: Not realizing that he is enough, just him.
