Available Roles:

BRENT – (Male, 18–30s) The sarcastic, dramatic leader of the group. Loyal to a fault, painfully stubborn, and deep in the closet. A master of eye rolls and sass.
SIMON – (Male, 18–30s) The everyman — logical, friendly, and often the voice of reason. For reasons unknown, he’s thoroughly disliked by the others.
RHENAE – (Female, 18–30s) A perfectionist with a trendy edge. Always hyper-prepared, but emotionally awkward. Has a crush on Tom but doesn’t know how to express it.
TOM – (Male, 18–30s) A sweet, bashful ex-high school footballer. Struggles with a stutter after a past head injury. Has a soft spot for Rhenae, but fears she’ll never feel the same.
CHRISTIAN – (Male, 18–30s) Looks like he could bench-press a fridge, but is sweetly naïve and socially clueless. Adopted into Brent’s social orbit.
