Stacy Powers claims she was injured during a pop-out cake bachelor party performance and is suing Mark Frank for unpaid wages and $475 in urgent care bills.

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

Character Overview: Mark has major bro-vibes—life of the party, loud confidence, and a bit of arrested development. He believes the night didn’t go as planned because Stacy didn’t deliver, and he’s framing himself as the reasonable guy who tried to make it work.

Character Overview: Charlotte is the bold, assertive birthday girl who expects her moment to be special—and she’s not shy about saying when someone ruined it. She’s confident, direct, and still emotionally charged because the incident wasn’t just an accident to her; it was reckless, disrespectful, and avoidable. Add the tension of a former friendship, and Charlotte comes in feeling betrayed, embarrassed, and determined to be reimbursed.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

• Comfortable portraying bold, assertive energy without becoming over-the-top

• Able to play indignation, embarrassment, and “I’m owed” conviction believably

Role: Defendant — Shannon Abell (Female, Late 20s–30s, Any Race)
Charlotte Gibson claims Shannon Abell popped a champagne bottle on a boat, sending the cork into Charlotte’s head and causing her to fall overboard and lose valuables and damage her outfit. Shannon argues it was an unavoidable accident: the boat jerked at the exact moment she uncorked it, the bottle had extra pressure because Charlotte’s boyfriend had shaken it, and she isn’t responsible for where the cork flew or Charlotte losing her balance.

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

She feels terrible that Charlotte got hurt, but she doesn’t believe she should be financially responsible for a chaotic, split-second accident. Shannon is calm but firm, focusing on the details (boat movement, pressure in the bottle, boyfriend shaking it) while trying to maintain empathy without admitting fault.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with calm, grounded presence

• Able to balance empathy with firm self-defense under accusation

• Comfortable delivering detailed explanations clearly and consistently

• Strong reactive listening and quick responses in confrontation

• Strong improv ability with confident, natural delivery

• Comfortable playing cool/arrogant energy without becoming cartoonish

• Able to pivot between accountability and defensiveness believably

• Quick thinker with strong reactive listening for debate-style exchanges
