Sheila: Mezzo-Soprano/Alto - Young college student and passionate protester. Wants to change the world and spread love.

Berger: Tenor - Tribe leader. Charismatic enough to start a cult. Animalistic, unrestrained, and dedicated to dismantling the system.

Dionne: Mezzo-Soprano Belt – Black - Fun, outspoken, and witty. A constant force/anchor for the tribe and the audience.

Woof: Baritone/Tenor - An accidental comedian with chaotic energy. Expresses an unapologetic and all-inclusive sexual energy.

Jeanie: Alto - Pregnant with the tribe's baby, and mother to the tribe. Silly but wise. A follower who has tried every drug under the sun.

Hud: Baritone/Tenor – Black - Larger than life personality, quick thinking and high energy.

Crissy: Mezzo-Soprano - An innocent and vulnerable space cadet. Easily influenced, looks up to Sheila and the rest of the tribe.
