CAST OF CHARACTERS.
RICKIE
his boyfriend (25, Puerto Rican)
A creative, fashionable guy with an eye for detail and an inherent need for deep connection. A considerate Libra, he balances his built-in toughness with a side that’s compassionate and sweet, unless provoked. He’s an artist in all kinds of ways and will let his ambition and determination guide him toward the success he knows he wants in life.
TOMAS
his brother (29, Latinx)
A handsome and mature man with a passion for making the world a better place. A well-natured Taurus, he brings a levelheaded, confident vibe to every situation. He’s committed to his environmental work, his girlfriend, and his family, but he’s beginning to feel like the pressure of his responsibilities is building to an overwhelming degree.
ROCIO
his mother (50’s, Latinx)
A quiet but stalwart woman with a focused mind and a surprising temper. A tough Aries, she brings her impassioned opinions and a rooted love into all of her relationships. Her life has come with many challenges, and she will stop at nothing to do what she feels is best for everyone. She’s built a business and a life that she can be proud of, but she’s kept some secrets that will painfully infect her relationship with Michael.
TERENCE
his best gay (20’s, Black)
A wild card of a man with no interest in a plan or in assimilation with the “norm”. An artsy Leo, he’s good at bringing out the naughty in everyone and loves to make a scene, using his life as a creative canvas for play. He’s also fiercely loyal and will shower others with love and the occasional cutthroat opinion.
SABBY
his best girlfriend (20’s)
A lively, magnetic spirit who radiates an inner optimism that she does her best to protect. A talkative Gemini, she’s a good ear for any drama though she doesn’t always offer the best advice. She was an actress when Michael met her in school, so she has the tendency to make every moment a scene from a play. But she’s now pursuing work behind the scenes in publicity, where she feels she can get the attention she craves while making money to support the life she wants.
TODD
the junior exec (30’s, White)
A self-assured, charismatic guy who’s capable of making anyone feel like the most important person in the room. A pragmatic Capricorn, he can be very serious and a little mysterious, which adds to his natural sexual appeal. He’s worked in the world of publicity for over a decade, which has gifted him an easy charm and a sturdy arrogance.
