ANY GENDER ROLE:
MIZZY (AGE: 20s+. Any ethnicity.)
A childhood imaginary friend, overly cheerful, overly helpful, maybe just a little weird. Maybe like the kind you'd see on a children's televsion show.
LINE 1: Oh, you startled me! Silly goose, were you trying to sneak up on me?
LINE 2: You're still sleepy? Well, growing kids do need their rest so you go lie down and I'll be here when you wake up!
LINE 3: (singing, make up your own tune) Everybody loves a shower, shower, shower, shower, yeah! Shower, shower, shower, shower, I love a shower, you love a shower, being clean and fresh is fun!
FEMALE ROLES:
KAYLEE (AGE: 20s - 30s. Any ethnicity.)
Generally cheerful. But home alone during quarantine, and the emptiness might be getting to her.
LINE 1: (a little exasperated) Maybe you have to turn it on yourself for the first time if you haven't used it before? Do you see anything that looks like a camera?
LINE 2: (can't believe what she's seeing) Who...whaaaa...I...I should call an ambulance, I'm clearly hallucinating.
LINE 3: (awkward) Oh! A delivery! This must be my underwea-... package, that I ordered. With the... things.
GRANDMA (AGE: 60s+. Any ethnicity.)
Kind, very concerned about her granddaughter, a bit befuddled by modern technology
LINE 1: Oh wonderful! So how are you? Taking care of yourself?
LINE 2: Just because we're all stuck inside doesn't mean you get to stop taking care of yourself. Are you getting enough sleep?
LINE 3: Can you hear me? I think I have this thing working right...
KAT (AGE: 20s+. Any ethnicity.)
Works for a cat adoption agency, and she will HARD SELL you on taking one home with you.
LINE 1: Kitten snuggles! Come spend 5 minutes with our kittens for 20 dollars! Money goes directly to the Newport Humane Society Fund for expansion. Get your kitten snuggles here! Kitten snuggles!
LINE 2: Oh apologies there friend, I just saw you two over in the bushes and thought, "I bet they would enjoy some kitten snuggles!" Do you have some time for me to tell you about our fundraiser?
MALE ROLES:
DR. OBLIDIO (AGE: 30s-50s. Any ethnicity.)
A not very bright supervillain searching for meaning in his life. Ham it up.
LINE 1: Oh come on! I should never have let that real estate agent convince me into the cavernous lair instead of the volcano headquarters I wanted.
LINE 2: (dejected) What am I even doing? Every new evil idea I have has already been done. I have nothing devious left. No purpose. I may as well just lay here and die.
LINE 3: Winthrop! Did you bring our disguises? (beat) Wonderful! Hand over the mustache and put on your hat!
WINTHROP (AGE: 40s+. Any ethnicity.)
The loyal and faithful butler/sidekick/compatriot to Dr. Oblidio. Definitely the brains of the operation. Probably British.
LINE 1: Coming, Dr. Oblidio! My apologies. Next time I will find a way to make the water boil faster.
LINE 2: If I may be so bold to ask, Sir, what is the plan?
LINE 3: (hinting at something) Might there be another use for the large amount of space back at the lair?
DESTRUCTO MAN (Age: 20s-50s. Any ethnicity.)
An old-school supervillain that chews the scenery for dinner. Over the top in every way.
LINE 1: Wow. This must be a big moment for you. I'm really happy that you've finally figured out what you're meant to do. Too bad I'm going to have to DESTROY YOU.
LINE 2: Hand over the money?? Why? So you can claim it for yourself?!
MR. WILLIAMS (Age: 40s-50s. Any ethnicity.)
An incompetent boss in an office. You know the type. The kind that would ask you to flow chart the flow charting process.
LINE 1: Are you ready to go over the numbers from last month?
LINE 2: (has just been told to do something incredibly stupid) Ooohhh...I can feel it working!
DAVID (Age: 20s-30s. Any ethnicity.)
Delivery guy. Total dreamboat.
LINE 1: (awkward yet charming) Hi. I... normally just sort of drop off packages and run but...given the big day and all I thought I'd hand it over in person. So...here.
