Alexander Carter Jr. claims Lynn Mendoza intentionally poisoned his weeping willow tree, causing costly damage and restoration expenses.

This role requires strong improv ability, grounded real-person energy, and the ability to bring believable emotional nuance to reenactments.

Character Overview: Lynn is a 52-year-old single Filipino-American HR Coordinator whose job title contrasts with her difficult interpersonal style. She’s bossy, guarded, and has a know-it-all edge—often coming off unfriendly and hard to work with. Underneath is a highly neurotic, easily triggered temperament. After her father passed, she moved in with her mother three years ago, and her patience is thin—especially about what she sees as property issues and boundaries. Lynn frames herself as the practical neighbor dealing with constant mess and damage, not a villain poisoning a tree.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with sharp, grounded presence

• Comfortable portraying bossy/neurotic energy without becoming a caricature

• Able to deliver defensiveness and “property rights” arguments clearly

• Strong reactive listening; can handle accusations and stay composed (or believably bristle)

• Natural delivery that balances irritation, control, and self-justification

• $20 per hour

Role: Plaintiff — Alexander Carter Jr. (Male, 38, Any Race)

Character Overview: Alexander is a highly intelligent, family-oriented small business owner who runs a local café while raising two young kids. He’s responsible and always on the go, but generally laid back about things he considers “not worth the stress.” This is worth the stress. He inherited his home from his parents and has lived there for seven years—so the tree represents legacy, memory, and stability. He’s had ongoing tension with Lynn since she moved in three years ago, and he’s done being “the easygoing neighbor” when he believes someone attacked something precious to his family.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

• Able to portray calm competence that shifts into protective anger and heartbreak

• Comfortable delivering a values-based argument (legacy, family history, home)

• Strong reactive listening when challenged on proof and assumptions
