SKY (18), a pretty, curvy but awkward girl who doesn't seem to fit with the others. She is Billy’s rebound girlfriend with very little self-respect. Obsessed with texting and her iPod. -- Requires brief appearance in bra and panties (Possible brief partial nudity. Negotiable)
KAYA (19), an attractive former cheerleader. She realizes she is hanging out with losers, but they’re the only friends she has left after HS.
SEAN (18) athletic and good looking. Billy’s former teammate. Typical former jock flunking out of community college.
TROY (19), non-athletic with a mess of hair. Has few prospects for a career beyond his job at the local video store.
CARETAKER (50+) A curmudgeonly cemetery caretaker. We are looking for strong character types who can play both crotchety and comedic, without being too campy.
We are also in need of several actors to play ZOMBIES. If you are interested in being a zombie, please specify that in your inquiry. Serious inquiries only. No fanboys, only pros please.
