JOE |
Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 36 - 54 | Role Type: Leading |
Video Reel RequiredA rock star in his own mind. He has a crappy job but he comes to life each week at the Silver Moon Open Mic. The kind of guy who wouldn't hesitate to do a trust fall in a crowd of 4 people. While he sees himself as a rock star, he also sees the rock star in others, especially his friends. Advanced electric guitar skills is a big plus.
AUTUMN |
Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 18 - 24 | Role Type: Leading |
Video Reel RequiredA young ambitious singer/songwriter. She is smitten with Mike but is poly-amorous. She has a bubbly, open personality. Other instruments are a plus in addition to keyboards.
CHRIS |
Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 30 - 55 | Role Type: Supporting |
Video Reel RequiredJoe's best friend and soundman/assistant at the Silver Moon Open Mic. Chris is a classic helper and facilitator. He wants to be part of the music and the comradery, but is more comfortable as a sideman. But he does dream of being the star. This character doesn't have to be proficient at all of guitar, bass, keys and drums, but instrumental versatility is a big plus.
LUNA |
Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 22 - 70 | Role Type: Supporting |
Video Reel RequiredA mystic and a clairvoyant. She is as comfortable in the future as she is in the past. One never knows what she is seeing, hearing or feeling. No specific instruments required but instrumental proficiency is a plus.
AKUARIOUS |
Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 55 - 75 | Role Type: Supporting |
Video Reel RequiredA regular at the Silver Moon. She was a hippie and groupie in her youth. She looks back fondly on those times and is worried about getting old. Has a major crush on JR. No specific instrumental requirements but instrumental proficiency is a plus.
CONRAD |
Male | Caucasian | Age: 45 - 65 | Role Type: Supporting |
Video Reel RequiredThe owner of the Silver Moon. He says he comes from Tennessee but has a Russian accent and has the vaguely threatening demeanor of a former KGB agent. No specific instrumental requirements but instrumental proficiency is a plus.
JR |
Male | Caucasian | Age: 58 - 75 | Role Type: Supporting |
Video Reel RequiredA one-hit-wonder in his youth and he lives off the proceeds of the hit. Now he comes to the Silver Moon, hoping to write that next great song.

GEORGE/LATE NIGHT LOUIS |
Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 50 - 70 | Role Type: Supporting |
Video Reel RequiredA crazy old poet. He works at a kindergarten during the day but he shows off his very unorthodox side at the Silver Moon. He doesn't have to play instruments. Late Night Louis is a local open mic legend. He goes from club to club playing his rock-a-billy classic for the adoring crowds. Electric rock-a-billy guitar skills is a big plus.
RECORD EXECUTIVE |
Male or Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 28 - 38 | Role Type: Supporting |
Video Reel RequiredA small role. He is slimy and slick. He is clearly using Autumn for his own pleasure. He has no singing solos. Having someone in this part who has pro instrumental skills would be helpful. Bass and/or drums.
