Is the star ... of her very own show! She's got a talent for giving advice; she's spunky, smart and totally comfortable running the show. Edwina should be a good singer and a strong actor who exudes great confidence onstage but who also has the ability to share her vulnerability when things do not go according to her carefully calculated plans.
Edwina's friend and head cheerleader of the Paw Paw Wildcats. An enthusiastic young performer who's always at the top of the pyramid. Becky and the other CHEERLEADERS must work well together to raise the spirits of the audience with their cheers!
Is the prima ballerina in town and her talents are called upon for the Poshkonozovich Dance. Every moment she is not onstage or focused on the off-stage drama, she is stretching or strengthening her technique. This is a great featured role for a skilled female dancer who can also break loose and have some fun.
Edwina's friend who wants more than friendship ... he's in love! Scott has chosen the day of the show to profess his love for Edwina and struggles to do so throughout the performance. A charming and charismatic performer who is unashamed to wear his heart on his sleeve.
Tried-and-true Girl Scout - she's always ready in case of an emergency. A young lady who can project a can-do attitude and an eagerness to be as helpful as possible!
The new kid in town, but he's quickly recruited after Lars' injury renders him unable to perform. A young man with a sweet disposition who is able to rise to the occasion!
Edwina's talented sister and the show's musical director. If you are a young performer who's a musician, great! If not, we’ll cast someone who is confident onstage.
Edwina's sister. She's an extraordinary math expert but still needs some convincing to realize her own worth. A young actress who pairs well with Edwina and can convey both confidence and vulnerability.
Edwina's "cool" older brother. This is a great role for a performer who reads as slightly older onstage.
An actor who appears older than the other performers. Maybe she is taller or maybe this can be accomplished through costuming and character work. A performer who is comfortable making bold acting choices.
