BREAKDOWN
1. JEREMY HEERE (Male), 18+ to play a teenager. ANY ETHNICITY. Introspective, awkward and uncool, he just hopes to keep his head down enough to survive high school and maybe get the girl of his dreams to notice him. When he’s given the opportunity to have a supercomputer implanted in his head, he has to balance following its rules with following his heart. TENOR (A2 - A4)
2. MICHAEL (Male) - the best friend, 18+ to play a teenager. ANY ETHNICITY. Funny, laid-back, and very warm. Although he’s uncool too, he’s comfortable in his own skin and happy to kick back, play video games with his best (and only) friend Jeremy, and Wait for high school to be over. Zero to Hero? TENOR (C3 - A4)
3. THE SQUIP (Male or female), 20s – 40s, ANY ETHNICITY. The physical manifestation of a supercomputer which implants in Jeremy’s brain and teaches him how to be cool. The Squip appears confident, self-assured and all-knowing, with a tendency to be snide. Everyone wishes they were as cool as The Squip.
