Project Synopsis: On a muggy summer night, six high school girls carried out one of the most savage crimes in recent history. And they recorded the whole thing.

In a misguided plan to win Josh back, she decided to eliminate her competition. Forever.
ROLES AVAILABLE:
BRANDI HIGHTOWER, Female, 18-28 (to portray high school student), All Ethnicities
She is the self-appointed leader of this faction. She prefers control and doesn’t take kindly to anyone challenging her decisions. Due to abandonment issues with her mother, she often makes up ridiculous lies about her past to try an impress people. She is very manipulative and a puppet-master to those around her. She’s the mastermind behind the crime and planned everything out. Having secretly wanting to see what it would feel like to take the life of someone, she has jumped at the chance to not only satisfy her murderous desire but to bring her closer to Krystal like nothing else ever could.
KRYSTAL RICKER, Female, 18-28 (to portray high school student), All Ethnicities
She’s center of this whole ordeal. She’s impulsive but charming. She has an unhealthy obsession with all things pushed by the media; fashion, sex and body image. Her other unhealthy obsession is her ex-boyfriend, Josh, and desire to get him back, no matter what. She is stricken with jealous rage, but plays the sympathetic victim so well, that she’s manipulated everyone around her to join in her misguided cause.
C.J. LOVELL, Female, 18-28 (to portray high school student), All Ethnicities
She’s the voice of reason within the group and has to try to bring balance to their poor decisions. She is creative and resourceful, as well as somewhat of a know-it-all. She has been best friends with Krystal since the first grade, but feels that their friendship is in jeopardy because of Brandi. She’s doing this to prove to Krystal that she is always there for her and a better friend.
JUSTINE CUNNINGHAM, Female, 18-28 (to portray high school student), All Ethnicities
She’s the newcomer to the group. She’s folksy and dependable to a fault. She’s never been one afraid to call it like it is. She lives under a lot of rules and schedules. She met Krystal in class and really envies her sense of freedom. Her desperation for excitement and need to belong causes her to take things too far. She’s still discovering many things for the first time, including her own psychopathic tendencies.
APRIL MUNSEY, Female, 18-28 (to portray high school student), All Ethnicities
She is very sociable, talented and outgoing, but also follows Brandi around like a lost puppy and that is the only thing most people see about her. She puts Brandi’s needs and interests before her own. She worries easily and can be quick to jump to paranoid conclusions. Her greatest fear is getting shunned by Brandi.
TRACY JARNIGAN, Female, 18-28 (to portray high school student), All Ethnicities
She’s the thrillseeker of the group. The first to jump in and the first to bail at the slightest sign of trouble. Not someone you want to rely on, but the only one that knows the details of getting rid of a body. She’s loud, hot-headed and quick to fight. She is Krystal’s cousin and doesn’t get along with Brandi.
MORGAN DEVAULT, Female, 18-28 (to portray high school student), All Ethnicities
She’s the target of the others. She’s friendly and practical. Romantic at heart, but not relationship oriented. She runs track, with the dream of one day running in the Boston Marathon.
JOSH PURKEY, Male, 18-28 (to portray high school student), Caucasian
Krystal’s ex-boyfriend. He hides his insecurities behind his allure of being a tough guy with street cred.
BETH JARNIGAN, Female, 35-50, Day Player
Tracy’s Mom. She’s the oblivious witness. Upset with the girls for making too much noise, unknowing of the horrors happening right outside her house.
KRYSTAL’S MOM, Female, 35-50, Day Player
She’s a less of parent to Krystal, and more of the best friend. Still acts like she’s in high school herself.
