Character Scripts

Character 1:

Kelsey

Kelsey is a very pretty, tall 24 year old. She has bright blue eyes and white blonde hair. Her artistic and creative side enjoys the energy the city has to offer. Her hands are always covered in paint, and often callused. Kelsey is an artist. She paints abstract and contemporary pieces and her work has been in countless shows. 

Kelsey does not like to sit still. Her personality reflects her art in the way that it is very colorful and energetic. She enjoys the outdoor air, meeting new people, and being around friends. She never gives anyone the false interpretation of herself. 

She is very care-free and go-with-the-flow. She is the only person out of her group of friends that can go out after studio hours in her painting clothes and still be approached by guys. She is usually in a shirt and jeans with her hands paint covered. 

Character 2:

Megan

Megan is a 5'5'' curvy girl. She is 25 years old and is overly stressed out. She has dark brown hair and soft blue eyes. She is a third grade teacher in a Catholic school. She is always wearing conservative clothing. She is newly engaged. 

Megan is a grad student working towards her Masters. She struggles balancing her work, her grad school work, and the wedding planning. Although she has a very pretty face, the stress is evident through the small bags under her eyes.

In my scene, I had Kelsey break Megan out of her shell to open up and let go of her stresses to have fun. Using the sketches made writing the play easier because I had more of a feel on how they would act and what they would do and feel. I was happy with my different characters because they remind me of a couple of my friends when we go out together. I personally hated writing the play. I am more of a visuals person and I hated that it was mostly dialogue. I kept on wanting to add more detail to create a visual for the reader.
