LEAD - TONI (18 - 29) Strikingly beautiful but struggling with materialism, Toni is a young, ambitious woman with a strong desire for financial independence. She's initially portrayed as materialistic and superficial, but as the story progresses, a more complex and determined character emerges. Beneath her glamorous exterior lies a survivor who's willing to take risks to escape her past.

A nerdy, somewhat awkward man with an underlying intelligence, Stuart does not have a good sense of who he is.

As the story progresses, NOT A KAREN becomes increasingly frustrated and defensive, but she never loses her calm and collected demeanor. WARDROBE: 1. Comfortable jeans, simple white blouse, reading glasses, worn leather tote bag, simple silver necklace with a small pendant.

LEAD – THE DINER: Male 40s. THE DINER is the antagonist of the story, a loudmouthed and obnoxious man who is revealed to be an undercover cop.

LEAD – THE SERVER: Female 20s. THE SERVER is a supporting character in the story, a young woman who is caught in the middle of the conflict between NOT A KAREN and THE DINER.

Bright pink diner uniform, white apron, bold red nail polish, colorful tattoos on her arms.

LEAD – THE MANAGER: Male 40s. THE MANAGER is a supporting character in the story, a middle-aged man who is responsible for maintaining order in the diner. He is concerned and authoritative, but also quick to jump to conclusions and assume the worst about NOT A KAREN. THE MANAGER is a symbol of the diner's rigid hierarchy and bureaucracy, and his actions drive the plot forward. Despite his best efforts to remain calm, he is often flustered and frazzled by the diner's chaotic atmosphere. WARDROBE: 1. Wardrobe: Crisp shirt, black tie, neatly pressed pants, shiny black shoes.

The meeting of the Deserter takes place in the Human Realm — a post-apocalyptic medieval wasteland. When we meet the Deserter the audience must question weather we are seeing a man, or the ghost of a man. His eyes are glassy. He speaks incoherently, in a daze. We must feel an intensity in his gaze — he holds immense guilt for all the atrocities committed in this life, which has driven him mad. A lost soul in purgatory.
