Roles
10JESS
Jess (17) is fun, sweet, awkward - and desperate for a date to prom. This is the lead role in a wholesome and exaggerated comedy with multiple endings - some happy, some sad, some tragic, and some awkward. The role includes a few kiss scenes - including one with a girl. The actor must be fearless, expressive, uninhibited, and willing to work hard and have fun - while also being charming and adorable.
STEVE
Crush-worthy, confident, cool, and approachable. The object of Jess's affection. Requires screen kiss.
BRIAN
Classic nerd (and classic cool) - awkward, cringey, at times overly excited, and prone to doing embarrassing things, but with potential to transform into a cool hot guy after a makeover. The actor needs to convincingly play both ends of the spectrum. Requires screen kiss. Dance experience is a bonus but not required.
COLT
Charismatic leader of a high school cult. Cool, confident and persuasive. Beneath his charm, however, lies a vengeful side that comes out when he feels betrayed.
SONIA
Steve’s bitter ex-girlfriend. Fiery and sharp - but with a flirty side.
AMBER
Additional Character. Amber is a sweet, conflicted girl who got pulled into the high school cult and now feels trapped. She wants to break free but struggles with fear and loyalty. Vulnerable and sympathetic. This role requires a same-sex kiss with Jess.
TAYLOR
Jess’s sarcastic and blunt best friend.
DYLAN
Confident and handsome jock who uses his charm to get what he wants. Arrogant and entitled, he tries to take advantage of Jess but ends up getting punched by nerdy Brian.
ZANE
The ultimate bad boy hottie - rebellious, edgy, and cool. He’s the kind of guy you’re parents warned you about, but can’t help being drawn to.
FINN
A sweet nice guy who ends up going to prom alone. He has a vulnerable charm that makes him endearing.
