THE CAST

2 M / 2 W

Warren is in his mid-20s; pathologically optimistic aspiring artist. He house-sits a cat for an imprisoned guerrilla conceptual artist who plastered flyers with fortune-cookie messages on public spaces. He meets Deb when he finds her thesis notes. He has something to say but hasn't quite figured out what it is yet. Required vocal range: baritone (G#3 - Ab4).

Deb is in her mid-20s; a cynical and defensive grad student who is struggling to find focus in her life; she meets struggling artist, Warren, when he finds her thesis notes in the street. Required vocal range: mezzo (F#3 - E5).

Jason is in his 30s; the boyfriend of Claire; a romantic at heart, he spends the bulk of the musical attempting to further his relationship, at first by moving in and then by proposing; Claire consistently resists his attempts, leading to the central conflict of their story arc. Required vocal range: tenor (E3 - G#4).

Claire is in her 30s; resistant to embarking on a new stage of her life with her boyfriend, Jason; the decision to share an apartment is the catalyst for Claire to face her past; her cathartic "I'll Be Here" provides the audience the final clue to her arc. Required vocal range: soprano (E4 - E5).
