Character breakdown

​​​

Eric Sheridan- Male 30s, A bookish, even-keeled police officer who finds himself in way over his head—and occasionally without his pants. Eric is earnest, intelligent, and determined, but his calm exterior hides just how rattled he is by the chaos unfolding around him. Requires strong timing and a gift for playing the straight man amidst absurdity.                                 

Billie Dwyer- Female, 20s/30s. Eric’s rookie partner, eager to prove herself but lacking even the most basic police skills. Billie is full of energy, sincerity, and misplaced confidence, making her a lovable but disastrous cop. Require physical and comedic actress who can lean into slapstick with heart.                 

Karen Brown- Female, 30s, A professional, polished accountant who suddenly can’t keep her composure. Caught in the chaos, her veneer of control slips away, revealing a passionate, unpredictable side—complete with wardrobe mishaps. Karen requires quick shifts between poise and comic panic.   

Mayor Meekly- Male 50s - 70s. The sweet and bumbling mayor, who exudes innocence with every word and gesture. While he seems incapable of wrongdoing, his presence in the tangled mess of lies keeps everyone on edge. Requires an actor who can balance simple charm while fueling mystery.           

Agent Frank- Male 20s to 50s.  Town Hall’s head of security. Gruff, confident, and eager to assert control—until crisis reveals him as easily frightened and totally ineffective. This character is bold, funny, and ripe for big swings in tone from bluster to panic.                                          

Todd- Male, 20's to 50s. A professional hitman with a thick Scottish accent that grows increasingly indecipherable as he gets angrier. Todd is menacing yet hilarious, with the accent itself becoming a running joke. Requires adept physicality, excellent Scottish dialect, and comic intimidation.

Mary Meekly- Female, 50s - 70s.The mayor’s petite, sweet-natured wife. At first glance she’s gentle and unassuming, but her presence adds new twists to the story. A smaller but pivotal role that calls for warmth and impeccable comic timing.
