ROLES:
[RUSSELL] Character portrayed as he/him. Seeking 18+ to play college-age, any ethnicity. Russell is the roommate from hell. He’s messy, self-centered, and painfully blind to his own flaws, but also deviously creative—a skill he uses to his advantage with his roommate. Russell is borderline cruel and a tad bit insane. Unintentionally hilarious with zero self awareness. This role contains implied nudity for one scene. (LEAD)
[BERNARD] Character portrayed as he/him. Seeking 18+ to play college-age, any ethnicity. Bernard is overly kind to the point that it’s almost unsettling. He’s quiet and inconspicuous, but there’s something a little off about him. Extremely forgiving and goes out of his way to help other people. Somewhat naive and passive. Subtle, ironic humor/comedy chops are a must. (LEAD)
[ISA] Character is portrayed as she/her. Seeking 18+ to play college-age, any ethnicity. Isa is honest and blunt. Very rational and not afraid to share her opinion. A good problem solver and a little sarcastic. One of Russell’s best friends. (SUPPORTING)
[NICK] Character is portrayed as he/him. Seeking 18+ to play college-age, any ethnicity. A happy-go-lucky yes man. He goes along with whatever his friends are doing, even if it might get him in trouble. He’s endearingly dumb and always in a good mood. One of Russell’s best friends.
(SUPPORTING)
[PATRICIA] Character is portrayed as she/her. Seeking 18+ to play college-age, any ethnicity. Patricia is the dorm RA. She’s a naturally caring person and always wants to help her residents, but she’s starting to get fed up with Russell’s shenanigans. (SMALL SUPPORTING)
