Character Descriptions

FEMALE (6)

​

JANE - Perky, upbeat, outward confidence (inner vulnerability), has a lot invested in tonight. A lot. She organized the dance, has dreamed of it for 4 years, and everything is gonna be perfect even though she’s the poorest kid in school. Just like in a musical… (Soprano)

 

CHASS -  strong enough for two, because she has to be: due date: 3 weeks from tonight. (Alto)

 

AMANDA - is valedictorian, and completely not an idiot about her boyfriend Kyle’s cheating. She is an idiot, though, about that night she kissed Wanda…(Soprano)

 

WANDA - is trying to live her best lesbian life. If only she didn’t have so many feelings for Amanda. (Soprano)

 

MADISON - has fled her date Cory when she saw him make out with Jendrix, and now sits under the food table. But she is a sassy girl who isn’t afraid to be vulnerable… right? (Alto)

 

KATRINA - is dressed all in black, cause she’s over this prom. After her boyfriend’s sudden death, she’s over everything. (Soprano)

 

 

NON-BINARY (1)

 

JENDRIX - wasn’t always named that. They are David Bowie’s biggest fan. (Tenor with nice falsetto ability)

 

 

MALE (6)

​

JOHNNY -is definitely not pissed that his costume-shop tux looks cheap. And he is worried about Jane for very good reasons. (Baritone)

 

CORY - New kid at school. Uses Bowie as a way to not have to think about Mom’s Xanax addiction or his sister Katrina’s grief. He’s on a journey coming out…he’s just not sure as to what. (Tenor)
