Storyline
Logline: In a joint job interview, a charming but fraudulent teacher, Derick, tries to sabotage his high-achieving ex-girlfriend Natalie... until his own dishonesty forces him to choose between winning the job and doing the right thing.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Derick | Male 25 - 30 Years old |
Description A recently fired teacher in his twenties scrambling for his next opportunity. Once capable and motivated, he’s now grown complacent, relying on charm, quick thinking, and dishonesty to avoid real responsibility. Derick is slobbish, lazy, self-centred, and afraid of accountability, but also still endearing and deeply human. The role requires an actor who can balance fast comedic timing with vulnerability and insecurity, keeping the character relatable even at his worst. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Natalie | Female 25 - 30 Years old |
Description An intelligent, driven, slightly germophobic woman in her twenties who is looking to advance her teaching career. After months of compensating for her ex’s lack of follow-through in their relationship, Natalie has learned to set the bar high for herself and others. Though outwardly controlled and perfectionistic, she is actually deeply supportive and caring. Should project competence without coldness; someone who commands respect naturally and is emotionally grounded. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Mr. Burrows | Male 60 - 70 Years old |
Description A well-meaning but tired private school principal in his sixties who has conducted far too many interviews to truly care anymore. Rather than valuing hard work in candidates, Mr. Burrows is keener on presentation, etiquette, and corporate buzzwords. He serves as a steady, grounded presence whose subtle reactions heighten the comedy. The role suits an actor with a gentle authority and the ability to convey earnest, if not oblivious energy. | ||
