JORDAN - Late-20s
An ambitious, sexy lawyer. She works hard and plays hard. Deeply engrossed in a dysfunctional love affair with the city.

CAROLINE - early-20s
A free-spirited woman low on ambition in the traditional sense, she's on a journey of self-exploration, eager to take it all in--which looks a lot like aimlessness amid the bustle of the city. Smart, well-read, her style is almost-alternative, boasting the requisite accouterments, without being fully committed.

COOPER - early-20s
An aspiring actor in his early-20s. Earnest and driven, he's left his small Midwestern town to pursue his acting dream. A bit of a loner, unpolished, but a true romantic. (Cooper could read straight or gay, but either way, his sexual identity is not central to his conflict.)

WILL - late-20s
Midwestern, sweet and less-than-slick. Taking the city on a test drive but a suburbanite at heart.

SHOSHANA - "late-early" 30s
A woman in her “Late-early” 30s. Independently financially secure, she is driven by a need to fill the empty space of life and a deep desire to connect, but she can't seem to get out of her own way. A real Carol Burnett type. Lonely. A New York native and amateur singer. She speaks quickly.

MORGAN - early-20s
A creative woman in her early-20s. Fresh out of a creative writing program, she's now stuck in a temp job. A well-read firecracker, she's trying to balance the need to make ends meet with the search for inspiration. **This role may be played by a male.

TAYLOR - mid-20s
An aspiring actress--working as a waitress--in her mid-20s. Outgoing, always up for a good time, easy to convince to "stay for one more drink," she's also trying to stay focused on her ultimate goals and not get seduced by the money and attention she gets in the service industry. **This role may be played by a male.

STOSH - 20s or 30s
A Hipster living in Williamsburg. Ironic, kitchy, and aggressively apathetic.

TIMO - 20s or 30s
A Hipster living in Williamsburg. Ironic, kitchy, and aggressively apathetic. **This role may be played by a female (TALLULAH).

TEMPS
MORGAN's fellow defeated office workers, played by the performers playing STOSH, TIMO, WALLENDIA, and TAYLOR. They should in no way resemble our primary characters.

WALLENDIA - 20s or 30s
A Hipster living in Williamsburg. Ironic, kitchy, and aggressively apathetic. **This role may be played by a male (WALDO).

HIPSTERS*
STOSH (played by the actor playing WILL), TIMO (played by the actor playing Cooper), and WALLENDIA (played by the actress playing SHOSHANA). Tragically “hip” in a carefully crafted Williamsburg way. They are aggressively apathetic.

BUCKET DRUMMER**
A street performer who uses found percussion objects. He does not speak, though others speak to him. He represents the heartbeat of the city.

PIANIST*
Shoshana's accompanist.
