MADDIE

The Sweetheart

BILLY

The Nerd

A “typical” geek of the ‘80s. Loves computers and Star Trek. Is always picked on by Stefani and Nick. Billy’s not part of the P-Building crew but is friends with Marty.

Originally from Tennessee, she is bubbly and always smiling. The high school band consumes her life, almost to a fault. She and her friend, Heather, are more observers in the chaos that ensues within the group.

HEATHER

The Artist

Heather is an artist, a poet, and a romantic. She dates older guys, hangs out at coffee houses, and tries to help her friends see the futility of their high school lives. Although different in personality, she is good friends with Tiffany.

EDDIE

The Rock Star

Very upbeat, aspiring rock star, always trying new trends and searching for his “look”. Dotes on his girlfriend, Jasmine, who becomes the inspiration to a song he writes and performs at the school’s Winter Formal. Upon realizing she has been unfaithful, he spends the rest of the school year withdrawn and sullen.

STEFANI

The Cheerleader

Stuck-up, rude, and the most popular girl in school. She’s attention starved and puts down all those that pose a threat to her and her status. Both Billy and Jane are main targets of Stefani’s hostility.

NICK

The Jock

• Stefani’s boyfriend and a bit of a muscle-head. Pretty much led around by Stefani and contributes to the torment that she dishes out to those under her radar.

JASMINE

The Cosmo Girl

The poster girl for late 80’s fashion. Shallow and self-involved. Dates Eddie because he’s in a band and is popular. Eventually starts seeing a more popular guy and doesn’t bother to tell Eddie.

TRENT and DAVE

Laid back, stereotypical Californian-wannabe-surfer/skater types. Their main purpose in life is to mack-out on convenience store snacks, scope hot babes, and rock out (not necessarily in that order).

ENSEMBLE

Students at the high school. Some speaking roles. All musical numbers (vocals and choreography)
