Synopsis
When a blind date set up from his roommate Molly catches Luke by surprise, he begins questioning his behavior and identity. As he tries to make some life changes, a new colorful cast of characters comes into his life, along with some blasts from the past. However, no journey of self discovery comes without some bumps along the way. “Query” is a musical that explores the beautiful spectrum of queer identity, and invites everyone to take their time when finding answers.
Character Descriptions
Luke: a 20 something average white guy. Looking to settle down with someone but is perpetually single and ready to make some changes in his life.
Molly: Late twenties lesbian, Luke’s roommate. A homebody and skilled decoupager, she is a fiercely loyal friend with a rich inner life she keeps a little too close to the chest.
Ronan: an overgrown frat boy with a heart of gold. Luke’s former college roommate-turned accidental tech wunderkind. A little dopey, a little doofy, but ultimately means well.
Morgan: a nonbinary DnD player, bird enthusiast, and Luke and Molly’s coworker. They are patient to a fault, and tired of being a dirty little secret. This role is flexible with range based on performer, and callback selections will come in multiple keys
