ROLES AVAILABLE:
HAROLD BAXTER – (8) Underneath that all-American Exterior lies a very imaginative, enthusiastic and intense obsessive-compulsive; a pitbull about any idea, project or suspicion and a natural leader. A factoid re outer space, and never removes space helmet. Matt Damon by way of Jesse Eisenberg. Strong singer.
SCOTTY FUYU – (8) Nerdy, analytical; always measuring, assessing, making assumptions, connections, theories, about everything. Always wears slide rule on a lanyard. He is Harold’s genius side-kick, but more shy and sensitive than him.
BENEDETTA BOMICINO – (8) Too adult for the room, feels surrounded by idots, and that it is her purpose in life to advise and educate them. Tina Fey by way of Lisa Simpson.
REUBEN STEUBEN – (9) Spacey and philosophical loner; he ponders life’s mysteries, asking questions more to himself or the world, rarely talking directly to anyone in the room with him. The child of Christopher Walken and Steven Wright. Kid, maybe more of a “character” voice.
