Casting

An unabashed enthusiast of music, theater, dance and last, but certainly not least: Diana Ross. Despite the feminine labels that his peers eventually (and mockingly) assign to him; Trevor's actions/mannerisms are less “girly” than they are distinct, unique and unable to be to be categorized into what his classmates consider to be normal. Bright and imaginative; naive and impressionable; Trevor oozes heart and soul.

A young candy striper at the local hospital, Jack is a kindred spirit to Trevor. Empathetic, encouraging, humorous and intelligent; it is obvious to us that Jack views his volunteer position as a vocation

One of the coolest guys at Trevor’s Junior High – the athletic, jock heartthrob of the 8th grade. In spite of this, Pinky still has an air of innocent obliviousness about him. He is authentic and empathetic, though not to the detriment of his hard-earned reputation.

Vocal range: Cb3-G#4

The “meanest” of the jocks; Jason is quick (and seemingly delighted) to draw attention to the shortcomings of anyone around him. A poster-child of overcompensation to distract from his own insecurities.

Trevor’s neighbor and longtime childhood friend. Walter would be equally at home in a science fair or a spirited game of Dungeons & Dragons. 13-14 years old.

Trevor’s friend at school. Awkward with braces and a mane of out-of-control hair, Cathy is in that painful stage in which she is just beginning to care about her perception and appearance but, still void of social savvy, subtlety and fashion sense, this only makes matters worse.

Newly popular, Frannie is the (reciprocal) object of Pinky’s affection. Like Pinky, we recognize her natural desire to be compassionate and kind to those around her, albeit it typically trumped by maintaining her social standing.

Frannie’s BFF; she is razor sharp, straightforward and does not suffer fools. A firm believer in the social hierarchy of Lakeview (she lands on top), she is always on the lookout for those who belong and those who don’t.

Diana Ross is ethereal, beautiful and strong. She is Trevor's personal vision of the pop diva as well as a manifestation of his inner-self and spirit; Diana can appear and evaporate in an instant.

Trevor’s mom. We see her through Trevor's eyes; a sweet, well-meaning but somewhat impotent presence on the periphery of Trevor's world.

Also plays: Mrs. Kerr - Trevor’s teacher.

Trevor’s dad. Similar to Trevor’s mother in Trevor’s eyes, though somewhat more hard-edged and foreign. 

Also plays:

Coach Gregory – Trevor’s gym teacher

Father Joe - A priest at the local Catholic church whom Trevor’s parents enlist for help in communicating with their son. Well- intentioned though socially awkward, particularly with regard to the conversation he is asked to have with Trevor.
