It’s finals week at a small liberal arts college in rural Pennsylvania. A tight-knit group of roommates pull one last all-nighter to complete their final assignments. Holed up in an old ballroom, the hours pass, the pressure mounts, and the truths that have always bound this group together are put to the test. What will be left when the sun rises?
DARCIE — 22. Magnetic, organized, playful. Capable of big emotional swings.
LIZZY — 22. Anxious, nurturing, perceptive. Inherently vulnerable.
TESSA — 22. Rigid, confident, athletic. Holds an inner warmth.
JACQUELINE — 22. Energetic, intense, queer, a leader. Has an immense need for the group.
WILMA — 22. Absolutely and completely herself.
Casting Note
The chemistry of the group is key to the success of the play. It’s about who they are in relationship to each other.
While every role can be played by any race/ethnicity, please consider the implications of how casting can affect storytelling. E.g. If Darcie is played by a BIPOC actress, she should not be the only BIPOC actress in the cast.
