Seeking:

Hayley Serling

(folk-pop mezzo) - 20 - A feisty, anxious, cerebral and confused college student on the edge of her teenage years and true adulthood. She was very close to her mother, and has an energy that lives somewhere between the cool girl at the record shop, and the anxious girl who wants to be left alone.

Kevin Serling

(folk-pop baritenor) - 46 - A struggling alcoholic and former cop, someone who deals with his feelings by not dealing with them at all. He wants nothing more than to be there for his family, but forces solutions on his daughters instead of confronting the real issues after his wife passes away.

Justin Lartney

(soft-rock baritenor) - 20 - A stoner; always relaxed and going with the flow. Hayley’s best friend since childhood, he is always trying to make a joke to lighten the mood, often times, accidentally, at his own expense.

Sam Serling

(folk-pop mezzo) - 26 - A confident and guarded extrovert. She cares deeply for appearances, and is very much of the mindset that living life to the fullest should be her number one priority. Always putting on a show, often by lying.

Michelle Serling

(pop alto) - 38 - The fun loving and wistful core of the family, she manages to balance the emotional instability of all those around her with enormous nurturing. A great deal of Earthiness to her - she is a memory and has passed away as the story begins.

Cop/Bartender/TV Anchor

30 - An actor who can wear many different hats and allow the road trip to occur theatrically by taking on several different characters along the way.
