Character List

Intimacy Note: The following character pairings have moments of direct intimacy in the show: Emma and Alyssa; Dee Dee and Mr. Hawkins. Other characters may be required to dance with a partner in various musical numbers.

EMMA NOLAN — Teenager in Indiana. A reluctant poster child for LGBT youth. Very smart.

ALYSSA GREENE — A cheerleader and top student. Secretly Emma’s girlfriend. Faces constant pressure from her mother and friends.

MR. HAWKINS — The straitlaced school principal. An ally to Emma and a long-time fan of Dee Dee.

MRS. GREENE — Alyssa’s intimidating, conservative, but ultimately loving mother. The head of the PTA.

SHELBY, KAYLEE, NICK, KEVIN — Other students at school who bully (but eventually learn to accept) Emma.

BARRY GLICKMAN — Flamboyant Broadway star. Completely politically incorrect and doesn’t know it. Longs to give Emma the prom he was unable to have as a teen.

DEE DEE ALLEN — Broadway diva. A huge ego to match her huge talent. Hilariously self-involved but yearns to do something good for someone other than herself.

TRENT OLIVER — Pretentious Juilliard graduate recently cast in the non-Equity tour of Godspell. Loves to hear himself speak.

ANGIE DICKINSON — An ensemble member in the Broadway production of Chicago. Jaded Fosse girl with a heart of gold.
