CHARACTERS
JACIE TRIPLETHREE (20’s) – An “actoid”, which is to say an android programmed to serve in a variety of low-budget TV series, she has begun to develop human qualities, the most prominent of which is a sense of humor.
ADAM TRAINSMITH (20’s) – A pleasant and affable dreamer. He has an appreciation for the classics of American cinematic comedy and an earnest desire to bring it back.
CHANDLER (CHANCE) TATE (50’s) – A once proud director of American films now reduced to ordering around robots and technicians instead of actual actors. Bitter and sarcastic with a scathing tongue, he’s nonetheless inspired by this chance to bring back the golden age of comedy.
CARLA PEPPERBLOOM (40’s) – A power hungry corporate executive with a taste for younger men and no sense of humor. She’s used to getting her way and not particularly fond of being challenged.
PRIM SPRING (20’s- 40’s) – A computer programmer responsible for programming the various actoids. Polite, perhaps to a fault, and a tad bit skittish under pressure. Currently involved in a relationship with her co-worker TRUDI.
TRUDI FLOOTE (20’s-40s) – The on-set technician, she’s in charge of the more mechanical aspects of the actoids and overall studio environment. A bit more jaded and cooler under fire than her life partner, Prim.
