GUY Lead. Late 40s-60s, Male presenting. The Head of the University, the Dean is a scheming, clever, dastardly ultra-capitalist with a very, very low opinion of the Arts, quick to call any artist a "Degenerate". Park & Bark. Range: (E2-B3)

SIERRA Supporting Cast. (Also in Ensemble) - Female Presenting. A Member of the City Planning Committee, and Stacy's younger sister, Sierra often has a job to do, but her passion for life, love and the arts- Musical Theater, especially- can impede her efficiency and judgement. Range (F#4 - F#5)
