Cast Breakdown:
SASHA (F43), a Broadway performer on the brink of “washed-up,” desperately clinging to the sparkling opportunity of youth through dyed blonde hair and a relentless “diva” personality.
GINGER (F12), theater kid suffering with a nondescript terminal illness. The most annoying person Sasha has met in her 20 years of show-business.
BRADFIELD (F22), up-and-coming producer only concerned with morality when it saves her some cash.
HOST (M40), has enjoyed a long tenure of success due to his unfailing ability to stir the pot when it comes to pop culture incidents.
KYLIE (F32), Sasha’s fellow thespian that is far more supportive of the newcoming actress.
ACTOR (30), another fellow thespian doing their best to keep the show going.
AUDIENCE (25), a common heckler relishing in the commotion onstage.
DOCTOR (45), sent to deliver some wonderful news live on TV. (Might not really have their PHD.)
