MITCH:
(Male, 40) Mitchell “Mitch” Papadopolous is down on his luck, having recently been fired from his job on Wall Street on his birthday. He reluctantly descends upon his hometown in New Jersey and moves back in with his mother. He seeks redemption in the form of a Battle of the Bands vs. his nemesis, Tygen. The only kicker is that he has to reunite his high school band, Juggernaut. Voted the “Next Bon Jovi” in high school. Plays rhythm guitar for Juggernaut. Genuine, loyal, and a kick ass rock tenor.
SHARON:
(Female, 60s). Mitch’s mom. Gives piano lessons, but she’s no Mrs. Paroo. Proudly jogs around the town in her leotard, old age be damned. A bit of a matchmaker.
DANI:
(Female, 36) Dani Franco is Mitch’s high school sweetheart. Works hard to keep her and her teenage daughter afloat. Realizes that as you get older, you make compromises.
BART:
(Male, 40) Bart Vickers is a math teacher by day and bass player for Juggernaut by night. He has an immature sense of humor and the hots for Sharon. Oh, and he’s terrible at math.
SULLY:
(Male, 40) Officer Michael “Sully” Sullivan is a cop, but he’s going to be taking his detective’s exam. After all, fourth time’s the charm. He plays the drums in Mitch’s band. Sully would never curse, attends church, and has season tickets to the Paper Mill Playhouse. Secretly, he wants to be an actor.
ROBBIE:
(Male, 40) Dr. Rummesh “Robbie” Patel is stuck working in his father’s dermatology practice, which has kept him from his dreams of being a pediatrician. Unlucky in love, Robbie has tried every dating site you can and can’t think of. In Mitch’s band, he plays keyboard. OF INDIAN DESCENT.
TYGEN:
(Male, 40) Tygen is the kind of dude who eats whipped cream straight out of the can. While his outside looks forty, inside he has the maturity of a 12yr old. While he’s not playing guitar with his high school band, “Mouthfeel,” Tygen makes a living foreclosing homes. He owns seventeen businesses in downtown Sayreville and drives a Pontiac Solstice. Everyone, and I mean everyone, bows to Tygen Billows. And what kind of douchebag still plays with his high school garage band?
RITCHIE:
(Male, 40’s) Ritchie is a member of rival band “Mouthfeel.” He’s the Marcie to Tygen’s Peppermint Patty. His immature sense of humor is one of his defining traits. He’s also still in the band that he was in in high school, so make of that what you will.
RICKY:
(Male, 16) Ricky “Bling” Goldstein is a Jewish rapper, which I’m pretty sure is an oxymoron. He knows the hip lingo of the kids today, and says things like “YOLO” and “hashtag.” He has crazy guitar skills and a huge crush on Billie. He plays lead guitar in Juggernaut.
BILLIE:
(Female, 16) Billie is Dani’s teenage daughter. She’s probably goth, but not saying so. Closeted classical music lover.
ROXY:
(Female, 20s-30s). Officer Roxanne Velasco. When she was in college, she had the biggest crush on the drummer from Matchbox Twenty. She even agreed to be in a “Girls Gone Wild” video for a backstage pass. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES, SHAPES, AND SIZES.
TAWNEY:
(Female, 32) Tawney Truebody just moved to town from Canada. Eh? Owns a chain of vegan frozen yogurt without the yogurt stores.
