About the show:

The campers are all finally asleep, and the lake is getting quiet. Have a beer; make a s’more; tell a scary story. Figure out what you’re going to have to do in the morning to keep camp fun and safe without letting the kids find out about... well, you’ve seen the news. I just got a push notification – they’re getting closer.

Following a group of camp counselors trying to mold the leaders of tomorrow when tomorrow is looking bleaker and bleaker, The Grown-Ups explores the traditions that change us, what it takes for us to change them, and how to change yourself when you’re hopelessly, tragically not prepared for this.



Characters:

LUKAS (male presenting, early 20s, white) – is so psyched to be back this summer

CASSIE (female presenting, early 20s, not white*) – is excited to be joining this summer

BECCA (female presenting, early 20s, white) – is thrilled to be back this summer

MAEVE (female presenting, early 20s, white) – is literally sooo jazzed to be back this summer

AIDAN (male presenting, late 20s, white) – has a lot of new responsibilities this summer

*(From the authors) The actor who originally created this role is half Korean, half white. Cassie should not be played by a white actor, but the authors do not want to limit who can play the role beyond that.
