All roles are currently open:


Kid - 10-12 years old.  Played by an actress in her early 20's. Spunky,
comfortable with herself, jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.  Honest, real,
determined.

Emperor - played by an actor 30-40. A boy in a man's body.  Spoiled.  Wants
a friend and wants to succeed.  

Mom - Played by an actress 35-50. Chic, business woman, impressionable.

Dad - Played by an actor 35-50. Trying too hard to be fashionable -  almost
looks out of place, impressionable. 

June and Marrisa - Played by an actress 35-45. Marissa will be a puppet
manipulated by June. A spoof on Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa.
Tacky, glitzy, plastic, abrasive.  Wants to be where the action is at. 

Primp (Woman) and Preen (Man) - Played by the actors who play Mom and Dad.
Think of Amanda and Marc on Ugly Betty. They try too hard, nervous, under
pressure, kiss-ups.  Want to get everything right. 

Louie Shyster - Played by the actor who plays Dad. A total con man, has a
New York accent, smarmy and sketchy.  Can either look like a bum, or where a
fancy suite with gold rings and a money clip.
