Logan is a vegan high school drama teacher who directs the school's theatrical productions. She abandoned her acting ambitions in Los Angeles after six weeks due to insecurities about her appearance. She currently faces intense pressure from the school board and parents after her inappropriate choice to stage Eugene O'Neill's *The Iceman Cometh* for a high school audience, leaving her desperate to succeed with her newly funded Thanksgiving pageant.

Jaxton is a street performer who considers himself a professional actor and a local celebrity based on his busking tips. He frequently volunteers in Logan's school plays and heavily identifies as a "yoga guy" and an enlightened activist. While he uses socially aware terminology constantly, he makes convenient exceptions for his own lifestyle, such as eating dairy cheese despite calling himself a vegan ally.

Caden is an elementary school history teacher who views himself as a high-level academic scholar. He harbors secret aspirations of becoming a playwright and arrives at the devising session with a large stack of pre-written historical scenes. Socially awkward, he eagerly tries to fit in with Logan and Jaxton's hipster aesthetic by poorly imitating their meditation practices.

Alicia is a professional actor based in Los Angeles who relies heavily on her physical attractiveness to secure employment. Her ethnically ambiguous appearance allows her to use different headshots to audition for various demographics, which directly leads to her hiring for this project. She lacks intellectual curiosity and strongly prefers taking simple direction over participating in the collaborative devising process.
