Roles:

[HARVEY NEWSON]
Lead Male (16)
Rich, arrogant, messy hair. New kid at prep school with awkward strut, sits alone at lunch, but definitely capable. Troublemaker in school and gets kicked out, resulting in a foolish act of confidence where he crashes a vessel and loses his old life (family, wealth, etc.) Forced to work alongside a blue-collar crowd for a wage just like everyone else, he faces the
challenges of "real life." Meets a girl, makes mistakes, and ultimately redemption. He comes out the other side wiser, more confident and carrying new outlook on life that is aware of the fellow man.

[DANI]
Lead Female (16)
"Quick eyes, strong hands, broad shoulders" A tough, working class girl who takes Harvey under her wing and shows him the ropes on the ship. Always wearing her work uniform (boots, overalls, hair back), her and Harvey form a special bond. One
night she ditches the work clothes and wears a dress/heels, makeup looks like a "beautiful young woman."

[CAPTAIN DISKO]
Supporting Female (40 - 50)
"Tall, commanding, impressive" Mother of Dani and captain of the ship We're Here. She has a commanding voice and holds the respect of the entire crew. She sees everything happening
on her ship and is a fair captain. Shows her motherly side at times, as she helps Dani with math homework. Leads the crew to hell and back, but ultimately gets the job done.

[MANUEL FIDELLO]
Supporting Male (35)
Saves Harvey from space, a crewmember on board the We're Here. Extremely friendly, always smiling and maintaining a positive attitude. Looks after Harvey and makes sure he learns how to do his job correctly. Constantly encouraging Harvey, but
also teaching him important life lessons.

[MR./MRS. NEWSON]
Supporting Unknown (40 - 50)
Parents of Harvey. Extremely rich inventors in this space world, don't pay much attention to their son and ship him off to boarding schools. When Harvey is missing, they put their work on hold and do everything they can to find him.
