With their first convention fast approaching the
President of the Okotoks Dr. Who fan club mysteriously vanishes, leaving
everyone scrambling to find a replacement and when the unambitious and
underachieving Russel decides that this would be the perfect opportunity to
finally prove himself to his family and his friends he gets caught up in an
scandal involving lies, kidnapping, greed, ambition and Daleks! With the help
of our partners, The Calgary Comic Expo, come celebrate the 50th anniversary of
the cult phenomenon “Dr. Who” in this hilarious, wacky, all-out nerd
extravaganza.
Cast of Characters:
Russell Lambert (M, 30): Russell's turning 30 and has
nothing to show for it but a part-time job in a laundromat, a girlfriend he's
afraid to tell anyone about, and the Doctor Who society. When the president
goes missing, he sees a chance to prove he can function as an adult.
Sarah James (F, mid 20s-mid 30s) Sarah's juggling her
duties with the Doctor Who society, her job at the hotel, and trying to
convince Russell that she's not going to leave him like his former fiance.
She's trying to reunite Russell with his older brother, and hoping he embraces
adulthood.
Fraser Patrick (M, late teens-early 20s): The youngest
member of the Doctor Who Society, whose seeming cluelessness is punctuated by
flashes of insight. May have the biggest heart of anyone in the club.
Peter Lambert (M, mid 30s-early 40s): Russell's older
brother. Where Russell stayed home with their ailing mother, Peter ran off to
England to go into business with their absentee father. Attempting (poorly) to
reconcile with Russell in time for his wedding... to Russell's ex-fiance.
Roger Anthony (M, 50s+): One of the club's older members.
Likes a stiff drink and vintage Who villains like the original Master. Offers
to assist Russell with his money problems, but may have a less beneficial
agenda.
Hilda Fay (F, 50s+): The Doctor Who society's founder,
whose claim to fame was an appearance as a fish person on a long-lost episode
for the 60s. Hilda is plotting something sinister, something connected to the
missing president.
