Breakdown
How far would you go to get into the college of your choice? When brilliant, ambitious twin sisters L and M realize that perfect academics and superb extracurricular activities aren't enough to get into their dream college, they decide to take matters into their own hands. Peerless is a comedy ... until it isn't.
Seeking:
[M]
Female. Asian-American. 18+ to play late teens. Ambitious, driven, extremely smart, and hardworking. A Runner. Possesses a capacity for love and tenderness that’s at odds with the ruthlessness and cruelty she feels are required to succeed.
[L]
Female. Asian-American. 18+ to play late teens. M’s identical twin. Ambitious, driven, extremely smart, and hardworking. The more graceful of the two, a dancer. The twin with slightly lesser status, she needs M more than M needs her. Can swing from desperate to steely in an instant.
[D]
Male. Identifies as Caucasian, although he has just discovered he is 1/16 Native American. 18+ to play late teens. Open and kind, but too earnest and insecure and is prone to over-sharing. Physically ungainly, he has recently lost a lot of weight, and feels awkward in his body. This role will double with BROTHER: Caucasian. D’s younger, half-brother. Has cystic fibrosis. When we meet him he’s near death but his desire for vengeance sustains him. Fixated on punishing the twins. Sick sense of humor.
[DIRTY GIRL]
Female. Caucasian. 18+ to play late teens. Dreadlocks. Dirty, scrappy, intense. Freaky. Doesn’t subscribe to high school social norms. A Cassandra with a bite, she has an uncanny gift of foresight. This role will double with PREPPY GIRL: Perky, privileged. From California.
[BF]
Male. African-American. 18+ to play late teens. M’s boyfriend. A good student, he’s well liked, well-adjusted. On the surface he seems to be a typical teenage boy: big appetite, a bit territorial, insensitive at times. Maybe a bit of a “bro.” He’s easy to underestimate, but he’s more ambitious than the twins suspect.
