A wildly chaotic, high-energy musical set in a twisted parallel version of high school—where popularity is deadly, secrets run deep, and surviving prom night is anything but guaranteed.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

Stephanie Lauder (Female) – The cool, confident “it girl.” Popular, sharp, and more layered than she lets on. Love interest of Peter.
Detective Shapiro (Female) – A seasoned detective who fled Chicago to escape major crimes… only to land in the middle of one. Smart, grounded, and driven. Also plays ensemble roles.
Jason (Male) – Jock and loyal sidekick to Max. Confident, comedic, and follows Max’s lead. Also plays ensemble roles.
Kyle (Male) – Another jock sidekick. High energy, physical, and part of Max’s inner circle. Also plays ensemble roles.
Grace Chasity (Female) – A rule-following, deeply religious nerd… with a hidden rebellious side. Complex, comedic, and unexpected. Love interest of Max.
Ruth Fleming (Female) – A nerdy outsider and friend of Peter. Awkward and deeply craving physical connection and affection. Vulnerable, comedic, and heartfelt. Also plays ensemble roles.
Richie Lipschitz (Male) – Peter’s best friend. Loyal, quirky, and full of personality. Also plays ensemble roles.
Peter Spankoffski (Male) – A lovable nerd caught in the chaos. Smart, awkward, and sincere. Love interest of Stephanie. Also plays ensemble roles.
