Cast Breakdown:
JAMES (18, M), anxious and a bit insecure. He’s nice and good student but has always struggled with change. His anxiety can keep him up at night and presents itself as he talks to himself and crashes out. Plans and schedules are his best friend, but time is his true enemy.
LANDON (18, M), bubbly and comforting. He has a real zest for life, ready to take life on as it comes. He learned that life might not always go your way, but now he moves with confidence and optimism.
PROFESSOR (40s, M), a bit tired of his job, but still teaching to reach those few young adults who still love to learn. It’s easy to get on his bad side. Enough small inconveniences (like tardiness and bad coffee) can push him towards the edge.
OTHER PROFESSOR (50s, F), hard on her students, but willing to help. She wants them to succeed, but they must put in the effort.
SALLY (19, F), a bit judgmental and sassy.
TEDDY (18, M), punctual and a bit annoyed.
MEGAN (18, F), critical and easily annoyed, but a goody-two-shoes to her professors.
MOM (50s, F), kind and has been trying to give James more independence.
