CHARACTER BIOS

UNCLE FRANK - A rustic sharecropper built on King James and Uncle Sam. He has a backwoods silver tongue that’s quick to draw a chuckle, and blue-collar brawn that keeps strangers at arms length

GRANDMOTHER - A sweet caretaker raised on TV Guide and Martha Stewart who’s quick with a hug; But don’t let her fool ya. This momma bear is quick with the claws if ya mess with those she cares for.

SABRINA - A kind, co-dependent stay-at-home mom whose personal identity was lost years ago when she became a wife and mother.

WAITRESS - A hardened, flirtatious single mom who’s quick with a sassy quip. She spent her formative years on the bar stool next to her ramblin’-gamblin’ father. Put together enough to raise her child right, but not enough to escape the “bar life” she resented her father for.

SUPERFAN 1 (MAN)- Blue collar jolly guy with no social graces, zero self-awareness.

SUPERFAN 2 (WOMAN) - Homemaker with no sense of personal space and bombastic nature.

SUPERFAN 2 (WOMAN) - A wannabe influencer with no tact, always looking for engaging content for the ‘gram.
