her depression.

*Dan –* Male 40-49, Vocal range: Ab2 – B4. Ethnicity: All
Ethnicities.  Diana’s husband. Patient, kind, but exhausted from issues

him.

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities.  Diana’s daughter. An over-achiever craving
attention and getting none. Trying too hard to be perfect. Moody,
sarcastic, and frustrated.

*Henry –* Male, 15-29, To play 17. Vocal range: G#2 – B4. Ethnicity: All
Ethnicities Natalie’s love interest. Romantic, a stoner, lazy, but loveable
with a bit of a philosopher to him. Supportive; probably the wisest and
most grounded character in the show.

*Dr. Madden / Dr. Fine –* played by the same actor, 30-59, Vocal range: A2
– A4, should have a rock sound. Ethnicity: All Ethnicities.  Dr. Fine is
