Storyline

In 1994, twenty-year-olds FRANKIE, JOEY, and DAVE – former members of a grunge band – return to their old stomping ground of Camp Wishkah, to lay the ashes of their fallen friend, SETH. When Frankie sees Seth's spirit around the campgrounds, he realizes Seth has something he needs to communicate to the group about his suicide and the reasons for it.

Roles

Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	Frankie	Male 19 - 25 Years old
Description Frankie is a quiet grunge musician who was closest to the recently deceased, Seth, and feels guilty about not being there for him. Once Frankie begins to communicate with Seth’s spirit, Frankie believes that he can reconcile his grief, and repair his friendships by convincing his other bandmates of the reason for his supernatural sighting. Preferably longer hair. Must be comfortable around cigarette lighters.
Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	Seth	Male 19 - 25 Years old
Description Seth is a complicated and mysterious figure. When he was alive, Seth’s only family was his bandmates, so he is desperate to hold onto them. When he loses them, he takes his own life. In death, Seth believes that by making contact with Frankie there is a chance that his former bandmates may repair their relationship. Preferably longer hair. Must be comfortable with SFX makeup. Must be comfortable using a cigarette lighter.
Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Principal	Dave	Male 19 - 25 Years old
Description Dave is quite logical, and has a hard exterior. He’s quick to disbelieve Frankie when Frankie claims to see Seth’s spirit. Dave is afraid Frankie’s grief is making him mentally unstable, and wants to protect him. But even his concern comes across as cruel. Preferably shorter hair. Preferable to have drum experience. Must be comfortable around fire/lighters.
Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Principal	Joey	Male 19 - 25 Years old
Description Joey is the laid back, jokester of the group who prefers to stay out of conflict. Joey wants to simply lay Seth’s ashes, and kick back with his friends at their old summer camp. Unfortunately, his friends are at each other’s throats, and Joey is torn; he wants to believe Frankie’s supernatural sightings, but doesn’t want to mediate the fights between Dave and Frankie. Must be comfortable with on-screen smoking. Must be comfortable around cigarette lighters.
