Casting Teens for Upcoming Season

A social outcast who struggles to deal with his impulses, Connor Murphy shows a different side of rejection and longing. Seen as a delinquent due to his drug use and aggression, Connor’s mental well-being isn’t addressed, leading to him taking his own life. Through this action, Evan sees an opportunity to insert himself into a situation that spirals out of control. Though Connor dies in Act One, his ghost is seen throughout the show. VOICE TYPE: Pop Tenor

The over-achieving Alana is always looking for extracurricular activities to add to her college applications. Getting caught up in Evan’s web of lies, she joins him in a quest to start a fundraising campaign called The Connor Project leading to a viral moment for Evan which ultimately exposes him. VOICE TYPE: Mezzo Belter/Mixer

A begrudging family friend of Evan, Jared helps keep the fictitious friendship alive by fabricating emails sent between Evan and Connor before his tragic passing. VOICE TYPE: Pop Tenor

The “most successful girl in town.” The self-proclaimed leader of the group, relentlessly competitive, egotistical, and sometimes cruel. Though she sees herself as a virtuous person, she is mostly hated by her fellow choir members. She has an intense need to be the best and hides her deep insecurity beneath an overly confident exterior. VOICE TYPE: High Belt

The “nicest girl in town.” A giant-hearted, warm, compassionate, self-deprecating, goofy and kind girl with a soulful way of seeing the world's bittersweet wonder. Will do anything for Ocean’s friendship and allows herself to be used as a doormat. Always a pleaser but secretly despises being dubbed “nicest girl.” She longs to be noticed as her true self. VOICE TYPE: Mezzo Belter

A mystery. Eerie and ethereal. She was decapitated in the accident, and no one claimed her body. Even though she isn’t headless in the piece (but often carries around a headless doll), the trauma of the accident leaves her lost in a fog and largely without emotion. She acts in a literal way-sometimes almost robot-like. She longs to fit in but doesn’t know how. VOICE TYPE: High Soprano

The “most romantic boy in town.” The only gay kid in his small town. He has never had a relationship; obsessed with French New Wave cinema; and has deep fantasies of being a French chanteuse and dying a tragic death. Intellectual, theatrical, and darkly witty, but doesn’t have enough hindsight or life experience. He longs to be a tragic figure. VOICE TYPE: Baritenor

The “most imaginative boy in town.” Through childhood trauma, he has become mute, shy, withdrawn, and lonely. The only thing that saves him is his vast imagination. In his imaginary world, he can transform into a futuristic Superhero with rockstar superpowers a la Prince or Bowie. He transitions from quiet and introverted to confident and expressive.
