Storyline
An ambitious co-captain must live up to her older sister’s legacy by leading her team to victory at the Regional Improv Games.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | JULES | Female 18 - 22 Years old |
Description All ethnicities, female-presenting. The co-captain of the best high school improv team in the region, Group Therapy. An obsessive loser. Will do anything to win. As the younger sister of the infamous Laura (the victorious captain of Group Therapy for five straight years), Jules has big shoes to fill- and nothing is more important to her than impressing her older sibling. Even if that means destroying the very fabric of a twenty-year improv legacy. Will be required to improv. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | CLAUDIA | Female 18 - 22 Years old |
Description All ethnicities, female-presenting. The other co-captain of Group Therapy. Calm. Collected. Determined. Too cool to be doing improv. She’s there because she genuinely enjoys performing- and somehow fits in way better with the quirky group of theatre kids than with her own popular friends. For some reason (wink wink), she truly believes in Jules as a co-captain, even when Jules sabotages Claudia and the rest of the team for her own personal gain. Claudia wants to win- but she wants to do it right. Will be required to improv. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | LAURA | Female 20 - 28 Years old |
Description All ethnicities, female-presenting. The past captain of Group Therapy. Self-absorbed. Failing artist. The kind of person who deliberately failed twelfth grade math so she could remain on the improv team for an extra year. Slightly worried that she’s not as good as she’s always been told that she is. Not that she would ever let anyone know. Laura judges everyone to an extreme degree so that she can feel better about herself- which, of course, doesn’t exactly work. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | SPENCER | All 18 - 22 Years old |
Description All ethnicities, female-presenting. A member of Group Therapy. Confrontational. Quick to anger, quicker to defend. Loves her friends, but despises her enemies- which includes Jules. Will be required to improv. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | GABE | Male 18 - 22 Years old |
Description All ethnicities, male-presenting. A member of Group Therapy. Jules’s right-hand man. The kind of person who grew up on musicals (the obscure ones) and who will never let you forget it. Definitely heading to a great theatre program after high school. Will be required to improv. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | NELLY | Female 18 - 22 Years old |
Description All ethnicities, female-presenting. A member of Group Therapy. A Jules suck-up. And a horse girl. Desperately wants to be liked. Her own hidden improv talents have been overshadowed by the tyranny of Jules- until now. Will be required to improv. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | COACH MARC | Male 40 - 50 Years old |
Description All ethnicities, male-presenting. The coach of Group Therapy. Will Schuester vibes. This high school improv team is his entire life. Losing the Regional Improv Games is equivalent to losing Olympic gold for Coach Marc. After being led to National victory by Laura for five years, Coach Marc has high expectations for the young Jules. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Actor | REFEREE | All 20 - 30 Years old |
Description All ethnicities, any gender. A ref at the Regional Improv Games. Commanding. Over the top. | ||
