HEATHER MCNAMARA - Beautiful, innocent, stupid, can be

and fearful. Voice: Strong belt to Db, D preferred. Soprano for chorus.

switch vocal parts as needed.

finally becomes Queen Bee she wields power like a bulldozer. Alto for
chorus. Voice:
Strong belt to C, D preferred. NOTE: in certain choral songs Heathers Duke
and Mac can switch vocal parts as needed.

opposite of hot, confident, or popular. Huge and beautiful soul, optimistic
even in the face of rejection. Voice: Strong belt to E or F, wide vocal
expression.
RAM SWEENEY - Linebacker. Big, insensitive to the
feelings of others, ruled by appetites. Voice: Strong Baritone, belt to G, some
Falsetto useful.
KURT KELLY - Quarterback and Captain. Big, chiseled,
rude, entitled, cocky. Mean, thinks he’s the brains in the friendship with Ram.
Voice:
Tenor, strong belt to Ab or A, some Falsetto. NOTE: in certain songs Ram and Kurt can switch
choral assignment if, say, Ram sings higher than Kurt.
RAM’S DAD/BIG BUD DEAN/COACH RIPPER - Ram’s Dad: Former
football player turned suburban Dad, has never outgrown his glory days in high
school. Hates weakness, but capable of soul-searching when tragedy strikes.
Also plays Big Bud Dean: JD’s single Dad. Big jolly personality that barely
conceals the enormous rage bubbling just below the surface. Quite possibly a
serial bomber. Also plays Coach Ripper:
Stalwart, man’s man; quick to defend his players. Voice:
Baritone/Tenor – power Country/Gospel belt to Ab, higher
welcome.
NOTE: Sometimes this actor has played Principal Gowan
instead of Big Bud/Coach.
MS. FLEMING/VERONICA’S MOM - Ms. Fleming: Aging hippie
teacher, still yearning for the day the Age of Aquarius reaches Ohio. Hungry
for the spotlight, resentful of entitled youth. Also plays Veronica’s Mom:
easygoing, distant, yet capable of laying down the law.
Voice: Great belt up to C, higher always welcome.
KURT’S DAD/VERONICA’S DAD/PRINCIPAL GOWAN - Kurt’s Dad:
Straight-laced, very conservative, also former football
player. A simple guy, not book smart, you’d be happy to share a beer with him.
Also plays Veronica’s Dad: Easygoing and distant. Voice: Strong Baritone/Tenor
-- power Country/Gospel belt to G, even higher better.
Also plays Principal Gowan: Rumpled, burned out, hates conflict. NOTE:
