Storyline
Margaret is self-taping for the role of a lifetime with a break up scene when she is interrupted through the wall with the very-real break up of her roommate.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Margaret | Female 25 - 35 Years old |
Description Margaret is an ambitious actress. She's had a bit of luck in community theatre and has a couple of commercials under her belt, but she knows she's capable of so much more. Dedicated to her craft, she spends her free time training, poring over books on theory, listening to podcasts, and auditioning for anything she can. She's always been charismatic and has a natural feel for comedic timing, which has earned her a solid group of friends outside the industry. She deeply cares what people think of her. More than anything, she wants to be loved and respected. She can't stand being lonely. | ||

| Principal | Dan | Male 25 - 35 Years old |
Description Dan is a working actor. Conventionally attractive. He's usually a daily - a doctor, a lawyer, the friend the main character sees at the bar, but he's been able to make a living at it. He met Margaret at an acting class and they realized that there was a chemistry to their scenes, so they soon became readers for each others' auditions. They don't hang out personally much, but have known each other for over a year and are quite familiar. He's been in a 3 year relationship with a girl from his small town in Manitoba. They moved to Toronto together where she's been flourishing in her career. | ||

| Principal | James | Male 25 - 35 Years old |
Description James is Margaret's roommate. He works at a T-shirt printing shop. He's arsty and has been meaning to become a tattoo apprentice for about 5 years, but he hasn't gotten around to it. He's been dating Ally for a couple of years on and off. She's not like him - she's beautiful, smart, ambitious. A bit of a handful, but he likes that sometimes. She likes things that are a bit classier, so he's not entirely sure why she likes him, but they've been good for each other in a lot of ways. He wants to be better for her. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Ally | Female 25 - 35 Years old |
Description Ally works at a marketing firm and is quickly rising up the ladder. She prides herself on her work and loves the paycheque that comes with her career. If that means she's sometimes her boyfriend James' sugar mama, so be it. He's very different than her, but she likes that. He can be really sensitive in a way that the boys in business school never were. That being said, he can also be manipulative, and she feels that she's finally waking up to that. Her girl friends at the firm don't particularly like James and so she's stopped telling them about their fights recently. | ||
