SEEKING:

CARTER SMITH, mid to late 30s, Male. Teacher. A former golden boy, but one of those rare smart and sensitive ones. Now he’s a great teacher: charming, engaging, goofy.

SHELBY HOLCOMB, 18+ to play 16, Female. student. Her brain works faster than her mouth, but her mouth works pretty dang fast. People have always underestimated her.

BETH POWELL, 18+ to play 17, Female. Student. Nervous and ambitious and enthusiastic. Kind of like if Rory Gilmore and Paris Geller had a baby and raised her in the Deep South.

NELL SHAW, 18+ to play 16, Female. Student. From Atlanta. Grounded and sincere. Genuinely curious about things. A good judge of character, and a quick study.

IVY WATKINS, 18+ to play 17, Female. Student. Fiercely loyal and always well-intentioned. From money. Resist the urge to play her as a mean girl.

RAELYNN NIX, 18+ to play 16, Female. Student. A cheerleader type who’s always lived her life by other people’s standards. She was paying careful attention and keeping score the whole time.

MASON ADAMS, 18+ to play 17, Male. Student. He’s never really tried before, and he’s surprised by how good it feels. Earnest and affable.

LEE TURNER, 18+ to play 16, Male. Student. A carhartt-wearing good ol’ boy. Deeply insecure and without the tools to deal with it. He’s always been good at getting what he wants.

BAILEY GALLAGHER, 24, Female. Counselor. Sweet in all the ways Southern women are supposed to be. This is her first real job out of college. She’s trying her best.
