Les:
Caucasian Male, 10 -12 years old. The fearless kid brother of Davie. Excited by everything the world has to offer and eager to join in the adventure. Fun is this kid's middle name. Must sing really well
Joseph Pulitzer:

Katherine Plumber:
Caucasian Female, 17 - 22 years old. The strong willed daughter of Pulitzer. This young lady drips smarts, opinions and confidence. A young Katherine Hepburn or Ellen Page. This damsel needs no prince to save her. Must have a great pop/contemporary musical theater voice with a high belt.
