Cast: 7 (All ages and ethnicities welcome) Narrator : Principal type, speaks with a knowledgeable tone. Not swayed by what’s going on, just relays the facts. Minimal singing and dancing.

Strong singer is a must, some dance/movement experience is a plus. Naomi: (must pass for 18 +) Our leading female is a classic cool chick type of girl. All the guys want to date her and all the girls want to be friends with her. But she’s got something to hide. Need to portray very different personalities through-out the show. Strong singer is a must, some dance/movement experience is a plus. PLEASE NOTE: in the show this character is described as a "a light skinned Puerto Rican / Dominican, long hair, great body.
