Vicksburg Theatre Guild presents...

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONSBrian Jordan- Mr. Duke / Balthasar — You play Mr. Duke, the boss of the whole office. He gives big, heartfelt speeches and truly believes in this little card company. But you're also playing a secret second character: Balthasar, a loud, furious elevator repairman with a thick Scottish accent who screams at machines. Nobody in the office has ever noticed they're the same person -- until one huge reveal near the end. Two characters, one big payoff, and it's one of the best parts in the show. Logan Huston- Gene — You play Gene, a sweet, rambling dad who shows up looking for two grown children he lost years ago at a county fair. His stories wander in a hundred directions and never quite add up, but they're always warm and always funny. By the end of the show, his search actually pays off in a really sweet way. Preston Lanier- Andrew Epherson— You play Andrew, one of two corporate evaluators sent to judge the office. You're stiff, proud of your fancy college degree, and totally unprepared for how weird this place is. Watching you slowly lose your cool across the show is a blast. Shanna Dixon- Drewlynn Lucas— You play Drewlynn, the other evaluator. You come in organized, skeptical, and ready to judge -- but the office slowly wins you over whether you like it or not. You get some great back-and-forth with Adrianne along the way. Clarence Shelby- Andy Reyes — You play Andy, who's technically in charge of the floor today, even though nobody's totally sure why. You mean well, you panic easily, and you give yourself pep talks out loud. At one point you get completely wrapped in tape and just keep talking like nothing's wrong. Jordan Carey- Drew Hallorhan— You play Drew, Andy's steady best friend. You know exactly how this whole office works and nothing rattles you. You're the calm center of a very chaotic show. Erica Durst- Adrianne Voss— You play Adrianne, the office's sharp, no-nonsense communications lead. You spend half the show on the phone with someone named Derek, handling one disaster after another. You act annoyed by everyone here -- but deep down, you love this weird little family more than you'd ever admit out loud. Nikki Ciciora- Dr. Petra Pinch — You play Dr. Pinch, who runs a wellness seminar every single Tuesday built on made-up rules and invented, mystical nonsense -- which you deliver like it's the most obvious truth in the world. You even sell your own book in the lobby. The more serious you play it, the funnier it gets. River Durst- Codie Doyle — You play Codie, who is head over heels in love with the office copier. You talk to it, you listen to it with a stethoscope, and you defend it like family. You're also hiding a pretty big secret about a second copier down the hall. Mary Claire Allison- Margo Hendricks— You play Margo, who runs the filing system and takes it very seriously. At first, you think Peter's big idea -- a whole new mauve filing section -- sounds completely unnecessary. Watching you slowly get talked into caring about mauve just as much as he does is half the fun of your role. Marsh Fitzroy- Peter Feeny— You play Peter, Margo's filing partner, and you are obsessed -- genuinely, fully obsessed -- with adding a brand-new mauve section to the files. You've got diagrams. You've got a model. You will not stop talking about it, and that's exactly the joke. Brittany Meacham- Lucy Hartman — You play Lucy, who runs the coffee station and hands out little laminated notes of encouragement to anyone who needs one. You're warm, you're sunny, and you're basically the heart of the whole office. Occasionally, we see exactly how much all of that caffeine affects you. John Ryan Hearn- Trevor Whitlock— You play Trevor, the new guy who's been here six months and still doesn't have a real desk -- just a corner and a plant he never asked for. And maybe a parking spot. You want to be noticed so badly, and by Act Two you finally get your big, loud, well-earned moment. Megan Holman- Elise Vann— You play Elise, who marks strict lanes of tape across the office floor for reasons nobody has ever explained. You're completely serious about it, and somehow everyone just follows the rules anyway. When they don’t, you are seriously unhappy. Sophia Tuminello- Ivy Sorrel— You play Ivy, the office's real plant expert. You’ve got an assistant named Zoe. You know, everyone just needs a little green in their day. They’d be much nicer. You've got a deep, slightly strange bond with a plant named Mortimer, and you get one of the funniest, most memorable moments in the whole show during your interview scene. Allyson Moore- Zoe Franklin — You play Zoe, the newest hire, still learning how to take care of the plants -- and the job -- from Ivy. You're sweet, a little unsure of yourself, and a nice calm presence in a very loud office. Gena Goodson- Officer Barrier — You play Officer Barrier, the office's self-appointed safety officer. You've never actually stopped an accident, but you put out cones anyway and write down everything that happens like it's history in the making. Stafford Truesdell- Ethan Rollins— You play Ethan, who rolls through fast, drops a strange random fact, and disappears -- but you're quietly running your own secret little mission all show long that pays off big in Act Two. Charli Davidson- Mason Alders— You play Mason, who watches the whole office like it's a nature show and narrates what he sees, calm and detached. You rarely jump into the action -- until, once, you actually do, and it really means something. Jeff Durst- Milton Sharpe— You play Milton, a hippie stuck somewhere back in the sixties who also happens to be a total cardshark. You teach the office kids how to play cards while cheating them shamelessly the whole time, and you're the one quietly sending them off on their secret little missions all show. You're also a little forgetful -- you'll lose your own glasses and then find them on your own head -- but you never, ever forget a good bluff. Bella Welch- Quinn Marsh— You play Quinn, brand new to the job, sent in by a temp agency with zero training and just a phone instead of a desk. You start the day totally lost, and by Act Two you're practically sportscasting the office's chaos into that phone like it's the biggest game of the year. Andrea Weaver- Janice Dunmore— You play Janice, the janitor -- except you do the exact opposite of cleaning, every single time, completely calm and confident about it. You also end up solving the show's oldest little mystery almost by accident. Katie Whittington- Wren “Funyon” Smith — You play Wren, a serious, sharp young tactician who treats every little office errand like a real mission. You're one half of a matching pair with Finn -- same look, same walkie-talkie, totally different at keeping a straight face. Indigo Cody- Finn “Fishy Poofs” Smith— You play Finn, Wren's partner -- and sister -- in every mission. You match her outfit and her seriousness, you're just a little worse at staying hidden while you do it. Arwen Durst- Brayden Cole— You play Brayden, the host of a podcast nobody at the company actually asked for. You narrate every boring office moment like it's a huge dramatic twist. Aria Jordan- Kai Bennett— You play Kai, the one constantly correcting Brayden on camera -- his facts, his angles, all of it. You're always demanding proof. Kennedy Corkern- Skye Larsen— You play Skye, Kai's partner in keeping the crew semi-organized. You're obsessed with timestamps, captions, and hashtags for absolutely everything. Micah O’Dell- Ryder Malone— You play Ryder, who has exactly one volume: loud. Everything is either completely unhinged or the greatest thing that's ever happened -- usually both, at the same time. Blake Parker- Jaxon Price — You play Jaxon, who says almost nothing the entire show -- and then says the actual title of the play out loud in the middle of total chaos. One perfect line, and it's the one everyone remembers.
