CAST OF CHARACTERS

MR. DUKE / BALTHASAR

The respected owner of Ephesus Greeting Card Company. Wise, steady, and deeply devoted to his employees. Also portrays Balthasar, a fiery Scottish elevator repairman with an ongoing feud with the building itself. Requires warmth, authority, and excellent comic range.

GENE

A kind-hearted father who arrives searching for his long-lost children. Earnest, optimistic, and wonderfully sincere despite an increasingly unbelievable story. The emotional heart of the comedy.

ANDY

Sales Director who suddenly finds himself running the company for the day. Friendly, capable with people, and desperately trying to keep everything under control as the office descends into chaos.

DREW

Andy's loyal partner and eternal optimist. Passionate advocate for the color mauve and always ready with encouragement—even when encouragement isn't what anyone needs.

ANDREW

Head of Corporate Systems Analysis. Brilliant, analytical, and completely baffled by the wonderfully illogical world of Ephesus. Dry comedic timing essential.

DREWLYNN

Head of Corporate Human Capital Assessment. Intelligent, efficient, and impossible to intimidate... until Ephesus begins making less and less sense. Strong deadpan comedy.

ADRIANNE

Corporate liaison. Sharp, practical, and the only person who consistently tells the truth. Delivers some of the show's driest humor while trying to keep corporate reality from colliding with office insanity.

TREVOR

The newest employee and the audience's guide into Ephesus. Logical, observant, and increasingly horrified that everyone around him accepts the impossible as perfectly normal. Excellent reaction role.

JORDAN

An enthusiastic intern determined to document absolutely everything. Organized, optimistic, and convinced every moment deserves to be recorded.

OFFICER BARRIER

Safety and compliance officer. Every cone, clipboard, and procedure is treated with absolute seriousness. Calm, methodical, and unintentionally hilarious.

MARGO

Guardian of the company's elaborate filing system. Organized to the point of legend and fiercely protective of office order.

PETER

Margo's longtime filing partner. Cheerfully convinced that almost every problem can be solved with proper organization—and probably more mauve.

BRENDA

Customer Relations representative and proud caretaker of the Employee of the Month tradition. Fiercely loyal to office rituals and wonderfully committed to every ceremony, no matter how small.

LUCY

Keeper of the Motivation Station and unofficial mother of the office. Warm, nurturing, endlessly encouraging, and always ready with coffee, snacks, or a listening ear.

ELISE

Traffic Flow Manager. Believes every journey through the office should be perfectly choreographed. Precision, confidence, and understated comedy.

CALVIN

The IT specialist. Maintains a unique professional relationship with the office copier and understands machinery in ways no one else can. Serious about things no one else understands.

AMELIA

Widow of the company's former CEO. Elegant, intelligent, and quietly formidable. Commands every room she enters without raising her voice. A wonderful role for a strong actress with impeccable comedic timing.

DR. PINCH

An overly enthusiastic corporate wellness consultant convinced every workplace problem can be solved through team-building exercises and motivational jargon. Big, energetic comedy role.

ETHAN (Teen)

A quiet teen who glides through the office on roller skates, occasionally sharing oddly specific facts with complete confidence. Minimal dialogue but consistently memorable. Roller skating ability is a plus.

MASON (Child/Teen)

An amateur filmmaker who treats office life like a wildlife documentary. Constantly observing, recording, and narrating the fascinating behavior of the "office ecosystem." Dry humor and commitment are key.

ZOE (Child/Teen)

Optimistic, imaginative, and endlessly curious. Zoe sees beauty and wonder in everything around her and reminds the adults that there is still magic in ordinary moments.

MAISIE (Child)

Calm, confident, and quietly in charge. Maisie somehow keeps everyone organized with the certainty of someone who has never considered the possibility of being ignored. A standout comedic role requiring excellent timing and natural authority.

PIPPA (Teen)

Maisie's older sister and the unofficial Lost & Found Department of Ephesus. Constantly moving, endlessly observant, and somehow always holding exactly what someone needs before they realize they need it. Outstanding opportunity for physical comedy.

FINN (Child)

The only student in an office full of adults. Curious, enthusiastic, emotional, and completely at home in the wonderfully strange world of Ephesus. A lovable comic role full of energy, heart, and big reactions.
