SHOOT DATES: MAY 4 - 6, 2026

REHEARSAL DAYS: POTENTIALLY APRIL 30 - MAY 1

Milo Ross - Supporting Lead - Male - 50s+ - any race or nationality

Superstar Milo Ross started in dive bars doing stand up before his big break in the 90s.  Now he's an international movie star who doesn't take life too seriously.  More down-to-Earth than you'd expect, his devil-may-care attitude sits in front of his heart of gold. 

Lori Rose - Supporting Lead - Female - any age over 16 (must be able to drive a car, but can truly be any age over 16 including 43, 56, 74, 82, age is not relevant to this character) - any race or nationality

Human sunshine.  The type of person who you can't help but want to be around.  She isn't always glittery though, and can bite someone's head off with absolute rage. 

Birthday Girl - Supporting Lead - Female - can play 4-6 - any race or nationality 

Absolutely adorably little girl celebrating her birthday.  Giggly, happy, super excited for her day and enthralled at the magic of her party.

Summer Brumal - Featured - Female - any age over 21 (must be old enough to work in a bar, but can truly be any age over 21 including 36, 54, 68, 91, age is not relevant to this character) - any race or nationality

Manages the open mic night at the local bar.  Not exactly her dream job.

Ronnie Miller - Featured - Male - can play 21 - any race or nationality

Birthday boy celebrating his 21st birthday.  Positive "frat boy" energy - excited about life and ready to party!  A genuinely cool guy.  Not a jerk. 

Adam Abrams - Featured - Male - 20s - any race or nationality

Jojo's boyfriend.  Accused of cheating (he didn't cheat) and trying to defend himself, though Jojo is having none of it.

JoJo Marks - Featured - Male - 20s - any race or nationality

Adam's boyfriend.  He's been hurt before and he's sure Adam just cheated.  Unwilling to listen to reason.
