Character Breakdown: We are looking for 6 men and 6 women - in the age range from early 20's to 60's. Cast members need to be able to sing in a pop/rock style. Some roles require dance ability.
The ethnicity of these roles is not pre-determined. We are planning on using a diverse cast of actors.

Characters:
MOGS: a gifted and hopeful young man, 21. MOGS is quite driven and ambitious, but ultimately he wants to help people. Having waited his whole life to participate in a super high-tech society, his goals shift when he realizes that the things he's been striving for are not what they seem.

SUNNY DAY: a pop star on the rise, early 20's. SUNNY has entered into a "relationship contract" with the President and is having considerable trouble getting away from him. She finds herself falling in love with MOGS. She also finds her whole identity challenged in a powerful way as the play progresses. SUNNY is young and hopeful like MOGS, but possesses a more world-weary sensibility.

THE PRESIDENT ROYAL MARCUS DICKORY (PRMD): the flashy, fast-talking, Machiavellian ruler of the City, late 30's-40's. The PRMD is charming--and he knows it; he's also utterly ruthless. His destructive jealousy over MOGS' budding relationship with SUNNY overshadows one of his few redeeming traits, his genuine love for her.

MAX: MOGS' Uncle and the leader of the Realists, a group of non-conformists who live in the woods outside the City. Max believes passionately in natural living and is firmly against implanted technology--his disagreements with MOGS on this subject are a source of tension.

HEAD SURGEON RILEY: MOGS' professional mentor and the PRMD's henchman, 30s-40s. Imposing in stature, RILEY is as brilliant as he is cruel.

EMOGENE: a woman in love with her high-tech life, until a drastic situation convinces her to re-think her goals, 20s-30s.

OTHER CHARACTERS
FUZZY: MAX's stoic, eccentric husband, 30s-50s
LORETTA: MOGS' long deceased mother, only seen as a hologram, 30's
THE LOVEDRUGGERS: simultaneously seductive and creepy drug dealers, 20s-30s

Synopsis: In a giant domed city, many years from now, humanity is computerized and constantly distracted, and Mogs, a young doctor, is busy fixing the glitches in other people's brains. When Mogs falls for pop star (and First Lady) Sunny Day, his orderly life is turned upside down by Sunny's husband, a ruthless celebrity President who delights in destroying his perceived enemies. When Mogs becomes the recipient of a nasty computer virus, he must make a choice: continue living in a virtual dream world as a buggy head case...or remove his implant and start a new kind of life with a scrappy band of rebels.
