Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadMargoFemale 20 - 27 Years old
Description
24 years old, all ethnicities woman. Passionate, Inarticulate.
Margo is trying to figure out her life - she’s set on becoming a famous painter but everything
else in her life is complete chaos and confusions. Over the past year, she’s started having two
other relationships behind the back of her stiff and difficult boyfriend, Jacob.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadJacobMale 25 - 35 Years old
Description
31 years old, all ethnicities man. Neurotic, Insecure.
Jacob has decided to turn his life around and be kinder to people. This is pretty difficult for him
since he’s a neurotic who always sees the worst in people. Still, he has already taken baby steps, getting more sleep, giving more compliments. But he’s now taking bigger steps: he’s going to sell his business and propose to Margo.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingDavidMale 25 - 35 Years old
Description
31 years old, all ethnicities man. Articulate, Sharp.
David is very well spoken, capable of convincing people of nearly anything. He has put this
talent to good use as the salesman in Jacob’s business. They are also roommates and old
friends. In demeanour he is flamboyant and charming, but this has affected his personal life
where he struggles between being nice to people's face and criticizing them as soon as they
leave the room.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingThompsonMale 18 - 25 Years old
Description
21 years old, all ethnicities man. Friendly, Emotional, Naive.
Thompson is the first of Margo’s affairs - he’s a star athlete, physically beautiful with a kind
heart. He enjoys the simple pleasures of life: fried foods, bad tv and unoriginal opinions. His
wisdom about the world is largely confined to things his coach has taught him during game
warm ups for basketball.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingSantiagoMale 18 - 25 Years old
Description
18 to 25 years old, Hispanic man. Mysterious, Serene.
Santiago is the second of Margo’s affairs. He has recently immigrated from Spain. She met him
while taking Spanish classes. His strong accent and cerebral manner make everything he says
seem very profound, even though it’s often not clear what he means. He is a romantic who
likes writing poetry, so he sympathizes with Margo’s irrationality and is more supportive of her
art than anyone else.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
PrincipalKayFemale 21 - 28 Years old
Description
25 years old, all ethnicities woman. Confrontational, Brash.
Kay is a confrontational woman with strong unqualified opinions. After a string of disappointing
relationships she hoped would be more serious, she has concluded that Western Civilization is
in crisis and that all people should have monogamous, child bearing families. She is drawn to
anything emphasizing commitment and virtue, and opposes anything frivolous or open-
minded.
