JASON (Principal) – Male, 30s-40s. Steve’s best friend who accidentally gives him a big idea. He’s tall, muscular and focused on fitness.

JUDGE (Principal) – Female, 50s-60s. BIPOC. A powerful, fair and no-nonsense Judge who is forced to put up with Steve’s legal, yet absurd dealings. Regardless of her feelings, she puts the law first, especially when she can use it to get even.

MALE CARRIER (Actor) – All genders, 30s-50s. Bored and somewhat lazy worker who delivers mail to Steve’s place and expects to do no more work that what’s absolutely necessary. Think Newman from Seinfeld without the scheming.
ICE CREAM CLERK (Actor, Non-Speaking) Female, 18-25 yrs. or 55+. A friendly but by-the-book employee of an ice cream shop. She stops Steve’s plot of getting a free ice cream cone. Note: this character may be required to eat ice cream so please add note of any applicable allergies
LITTLE GIRL (Actor, Non-Speaking) – Female, 7-10 yrs. She is a friendly and helpful little girl who is convinced by Steve to enter the ice cream shop to get a free cone. Note: this character may be required to eat ice cream so please add note of any applicable allergies
BAILIFF (Actor, Non-Speaking) – Male, 30s-60s. A bored Bailiff who is surprised when he is called upon to take Steve into custody.
JOGGER (Actor, Non-Speaking) – Male, 20s-40s. A runner who rounds a corner and collides with Steve, causing Steve’s ice cream cone to smash into his chest. Must be able to run and stop quickly.
