Open ethnicity. An off-the-cuff renegade who's never believed he could succeed, and never felt the need to try. When faced with a decision to either succeed, or embarrass himself, Hanson needs to overcome his own self doubt and truly believe he can be good at something.

Open ethnicity. A snooty and egotistical freshman who directs the school's drama productions, hoping to gain popularity to rival Hanson's. Cripplingly insecure, he thrives in positions of power where everyone knows he's the head honcho.

Open ethnicity. A cruel and intimidating traditionalist, Burns is a firm believer in the academics as the only path to success. Disgusted by Hanson's apathy, he's determined to see Hanson face the consequences of his inadequacy.

Open ethnicity. A laid-back freshman burdened with the newfound anxiety of a stage manager. More disorganized than he should be, but managing to stay on top of things enough to keep the show running.

Open ethnicity. Enthusiastic, yet nervous theatre kids.

Open ethnicity. An overzealous theatre geek who dramatically over-commits to their role.

Open ethnicity. A chronically stressed theatre enthusiast who takes on more responsibility than they should.

Sunday is drifting in a dreamlike state and is quiet, internal, reflective, and observant, with a whole world living inside their head that carries dread and guilt that slowly morph into understanding and acceptance over the course of the film. This performance lives in subtlety, stillness, and restraint, with very little dialogue, relying instead on voice-overs. The performer should be open to adjusting their hair if needed for the character (haircut or dye). Non Binary actors encouraged to apply..

A silent, nightmarish figure that comes to Sunday’s front door. Expressive and haunting with eerie energy. Comfort with horror material and working very closely with fake blood is a must.

A physical, unnerving presence. This role is entirely driven by body language. The performer must be comfortable with makeup and effects, crawling, bending, contorting, and holding unnatural positions for extended periods of time. Movement-based performers are strongly encouraged to apply.

Tall. Uncanny. A looming, almost unreal figure. Appears to melt in and out of his surroundings, swaying or subtly turning his head. If touched, he would feel like fuzzy energy! A curious presence rather than overtly aggressive.

A disembodied, uncanny mouth and chin that appear uncomfortably close to Sunday, whispering into their ear. Intimate and deeply uncomfortable rather than overtly scary, with a striking, unsettling presence. Looking for a performer with uniquely striking teeth.

Ari Flynn, 24, is observant, quick-witted, and protective. Ari's a broke groom, desperate for funds to save her own ill horse. She's got trust issues with her fellow humans, especially of the rich and privileged variety, but a talent for bonding with horses. She's straightforward, loyal, and honest, almost to a fault. Just don't get her ire up. Her sass will bite back. Especially if you're messing with her animal bffs--or one of the few individuals she's decided to place her trust in.

BECKETT “BECK” CROSS, 27 is intense, accomplished, and secretly self-critical. When his horse, Riot, first acted up, Beck got in his head about it. His rigidity made Riot worse. Beck's keenly aware that others perceive him as arrogant and competitive. It's driven him to further control the narrative. Now, he's losing all patience with Riot and their situation. People think privilege is power, but only if you stay on the team. Which sometimes means replacing one's partner.

MARA CROSS, early 30s, is a savvy, witty, social media strategist. She loves her brother and devotedly polishes his image to a high shine. But even Mara loses track sometimes of the line between presentation and reality. She gets so caught up in the story she's creating, she doesn't always see the people she loves clearly. She and Beck are long due for a reckoning over her well-intended, if misplaced manipulations, and the fear of imperfection that controls both of them.

SLOANE PARK, 24, glossy, fiercely competitive, determined to make a spot for herself on the US Equestrian Team. Sloane's never failed, and she's not about to start now. She's going to make it to the Olympics, even if it means resorting to dirty tricks and media manipulations. She's not a bad person, she's just bent on winning. And if winning requires dirty tricks and borderline dangerous actions, well, isn't aggressive, physical play what all champions engage in?
