Attached are the lists of characters for both Senior Drama (C Block) and Drama 9/10 (B Block). Some of the characters are the same, but that doesn't mean you'll end up with the same results.
Role plays – Drama 9/10
Kyle (Kristian): Kyle
loves music. He’s in a punk band called
“Death Warmed Over”. They perform at
music festivals and he is the band’s lead singer. He is not a good singer, but he performs the
character of the singer like he does his other roles. He is always listening to his unique brand of
music on his device. He has a tattoo of
Johnny Rotten on his left bicep. His
parents don’t know. His mom is proud of
him because he’s artistic. He lives in
the moment. He thinks most people are
stupid. He doesn’t know that Noreen
likes him.
Carole (Chloe): Carole
is interested in social justice. She has
never been shy about expressing her opinions and she does not “suffer fools
gladly” – she is impatient with how ignorant her fellow students are. Her parents are activitists and they all
spent a night on the street to experience what it is like to be homeless. That experience changed her life. She and her friend, Andrea, have volunteered
at Covenant House and they hand out sandwiches at a soup kitchen on the
Downtown Eastside. She worries that Andrea might be getting
obsessed with it. She knows it’s no fun
to have to go without.
Vance (Victor): Vance
has lots of nervous energy. He is very
emotional and sometimes runs out of the room in tears when he thinks people are
“dissing” him. He is hyper sensitive to
being “dissed”. He uses his hands a lot
when he talks and also will stand up and move around to express himself more. He gives long rambing answers during the
question of the day. He will practice
really hard for a play and then end up forgetting all his lines when it comes
to present, because he is so nervous. He
admires Carole and has let her know, but isn’t willing to do anything else
about it. He feels like she’s too good
for him.
Andrea (Athena):
Andrea has a nice family, but she finds them all so boring and tiresome
– she longs for excitement in her life.
She and her friend, Carole (Chloe), have started hanging out in the
Downtown Eastside, with kids who are homeless and find them much “realer and
more honest” than the kids who shop and drink Starbuck’s and get a car from
Daddy for their birthday at SLSS. Andrea
is smart, but is doing poorly in school because she doesn’t do her homework or
show up to class sometimes. She wants to be out on her own – she knows she
would survive.
Hildie (Hannah):
Hildie has given up. She shows up
at school because her parents won’t let her just stay in bed all day, but she
always brings a copy of whatever fantasy novel she is reading at the time and
reads it throughout the class until Mr. Lai takes it away from her. Then she just sits and stares into
space. She is finding it hard to pay
attention to what people say to her.
It’s all just so much noise.
“What’s the point?” she thinks.
She wears black, but if she can’t find something black, she doesn’t
care. She’ll wear whatever she can
find. She doesn’t care what she looks
like. She doesn’t care about
anything. She feels tired all the time.
Adam (Anthony): Adam
is the typical “gifted” student. He is
unmotivated because he sees the work in school as too easy and too much focused
on jumping through hoops and not enough on truly learning. He never does what is asked of him, but he’ll
work hard if he sees intrinsic value in a project. He likes Drama because he likes to do things
that take him out of his comfort zone.
He uses sarcasm as a coping mechanism and the other kids are afraid
he’ll humiliate them if they argue with him.
His parents are worried because he doesn’t seem to have any drive.
Aidan (Ashwyn): Aidan
gets by on charm. He has a sparkling
smile and really knows how to listen and employs excessive amounts of
respectful, some might say obsequious , pandering to adults. He is always absolutely fascinated with Mr.
Lai’s stories and comments. When kids
get rowdy, he always says, “listen to Mr. Lai, guys! Come on!” But he isn’t above imitating Mr. Lai behind
his back. Aidan thinks everyone likes
him, but most of the kids don’t trust him.
They’ve seen him imitate lots of people, not just Mr. Lai. He really likes to tease Cindy because he
knows she’s afraid of so many things.
Josh (Jason): Josh is
painfully shy and rarely speaks. When he
does try to answer the question of the day, his mouth is really dry and his
mind goes blank. He can’t remember the
question, he’s so nervous. When people
laugh, that makes it worse. He usually
passes and hopes the person forgets to come back to him. He hates it when people notice him. He hates to be looked at. His mother made him take drama, hoping it
would bring him out of his shell. It’s
not working.
Cindy (Celia): Cindy
is a germophobe. She is nervous about
catching a disease and is very fussy about cleanliness and doesn’t like to be
touched or to see anything that’s dirty.
She will only eat certain foods, too.
She hates meat and anything that has touched an animal. She always wipes her chair off before she
sits down. She won’t wear costumes from
the prop room. She is nervous. She hates Aidan.
Esther (Emily):
Esther plays by the rules. Her
family is very traditional and expects her to behave herself, be modest, do
well in school and then come home and help her mother with the housework and
the meals. Esther is curious about what
the other kids’ lives are like. They
don’t have a television at home and only their father uses the computer. She likes to read but her parents only let
her read the classics – they think Harry Potter and Twilight would give her bad
ideas. Esther would like to have a really
close friend, but she doesn’t think her parents would like it.
Johnny (James):
Johnny has a lot of nervous energy.
He says things without thinking first and then brazens it out if people
take offense. He says he has a “dash of
Tourette’s syndrome”. Mr. Lai doesn’t
appreciate that because his brother has Tourette’s syndrome and it’s not a
laughing matter. Johnny plays a lot of
video games and belongs to the League of Legends club at school. He is good at martial arts and goes to tae
kwon do classes. He likes to play
paintball.
George (Garrett):
George is from England. He is
quick-witted and sounds smarter than he is because he speaks with an English
accent. He loves performing and is
really good at improv. He pays a lot of
attention to the girls, and sometimes comes on too strong, but he isn’t easily
discouraged. He uses his English
background to make himself more interesting, and likes to use English slang,
like calling people “love” and saying “blimey” as a curse. He likes to climb things. He has no fear.
Karen (Kayley): Karen
seems older than everyone else in class.
She dresses very conservatively and she acts more mature than her
classmates. When the teacher first
arrived in the class, he thought she was a classroom assistant. She laughs at the wacky antics of the other
kids, but she doesn’t take part in them.
She’s there to learn. She loves
Drama. She’s new to the school. At her old school, she always stage managed
all the plays. She feels impatient with
the boys in class because they seem so immature. She detests Aidan and George.
Mary (Maira): Mary
has a big chip on her shoulder. She is
fed up with the world and school and everyone she knows. She is really irritable and hates to be asked
questions. It’s nobody’s business what
she thinks. She and Eric are
friends. She has an older brother who,
she claims, is abusive. She says her
mother doesn’t do anything about it and is scared of him, too. She works at McDonald’s and has been promoted
to Assistant Manager. She thinks her job
is stupid and her boss is brainless and that her customers are unhealthy
overeaters. Her favourite sound is the
sigh. Her favourite reaction is a roll
of the eyes.
Keith (Cameron):
Keith runs things. He is a good
organizer. He is a “take charge
guy”. He is the president of the student
council. He is in charge of the grad
committee. He fund raises for “Jaws with
a Cause” and has started a blanket drive to help the homeless. He plays volleyball and the saxophone. He is a Shark Ambassador. He is always a leader in group work. He thinks he is sometimes too bossy, but then
sometimes people just need someone to tell them what to do. He always finds a way to get the best out of
people.
Mr. Lai (Harrison):
Mr. Lai is an enthusiastic new teacher who is so excited to have his
first class! He was always in the plays
and musicals in high school himself and now can’t wait to work with kids and
inspire them and produce outstanding theatre.
He has a great sense of humour and takes everything in good part, but
his learning curve with regards to discipline is very steep. He wants to rule with kindness and understanding,
but is beginning to realize that kids might take advantage of that attitude. He still lives with his parents in Richmond
and has a dog named Morris.
Lucinda (Lucy):
Lucinda loves Drama. She
volunteers to go first every time. She
loves improv and always brings in new ideas for Mr. Lai to try. She isn’t good at anything else in school
except Drama, but she is really good at Drama.
She is in all the school plays and has had a lead role since she was in
Grade 9. She always wins the Drama award. She is a leader in every group and always
comes up with all the ideas and is frustrated when people don’t take it
seriously. She and Ray are friends.
Ella (Elaine): Ella
pretends to be silly in order to be likeable.
She asks dumb questions and pretends that she doesn’t understand so
other people will explain things to her.
At home, her mother is quite domineering and her father is very quiet
and spends most of the time in the garage fixing cars. Ella doesn’t want to be like her mother. When people ask her what she wants to do
after high school, she says she wants to get married and have three children.
Eric (Ethan): Eric is
a bit of a bully. He is friends with
Kyle but he isn’t in the band, because he spends most of his spare time hanging
around the smoke pit, skipping class and getting in trouble, going to other
schools to graffiti their building and generally doing things he shouldn’t
do. He gets a laugh out of Drama class
and thinks Mr. Lai is pathetic and whispers about him and what a loser he is to
still be living with his parents. He’s
afraid of Adam and says, “yeah, so” when Adam is sarcastic to him. He and Alex have started to hang out
together. Not a good situation for
either of them.
Barbi (Beryl): Barbi
is very perky and loves life. She enjoys
being with her friends (and that includes everybody, almost) and doesn’t like
to be alone, ever. She’s afraid to be
alone. She doesn’t like it to be
quiet. She likes to take selfies, but
she always wants someone else to be in the picture. She talks very quickly. She loves boys and giggles when George or
Aidan make a joke, and sometimes even when they don’t. She loves purses and shoes and has a closet
full of both. She is afraid she is
addicted to shopping. Her mom gave her a
credit card and already she’s overdrawn on it.
Her favourite tv show is any of the “Real Housewives” franchise. She wants to be one of them.
Ardis (Alys): Ardis’s
parents brought her up as a science experiment.
They didn’t reveal her gender until it became obvious. She was always given trucks and dolls as toys
and then her parents observed her closely to see which one she chose. She was put in boys’ soccer and a dance
class. Her parents are working on a book
about their research but in the book Ardis is simply known as “A”. Ardis loves her parents and respects what
they tried to do, but she is anxious to present herself as a girl. She exaggerates her girlishness and declares
her love for “American Idol” and “Teen Mom”.
She likes to sing and wear bright colours and flowing scarves. She hates science.
Ray (Ryan): Ray is
the class clown. He can do all sorts of
impressions of people and things and he is full of jokes and funny stories and
energy. He loves attention and wants to
be noticed, even if it’s for something negative. He gets on Mr. Lai’s nerves because he is
never satisfied with anyone else getting attention. Ray doesn’t get much attention at home. His mother is a flight attendant and is often
away and his father is impatient with Ray and wants peace and quiet, not
jokes. Ray has a little sister. He and Lucinda are friends.
Alex (Andrew): Alex’s
family is in chaos. His sister has gone
missing and no one talks about her any more.
The last time he saw her, she came home to demand money. When she didn’t get it, she stole her dad’s
car and totaled it. Alex works for his
dad, who yells a lot but doesn’t do much else.
Alex struggles in school. He
wants to be a businessman like his dad.
He loves money and getting stuff.
He steals. He is quite good at
drama as long as it doesn’t involve learning lines or writing anything. His writing is like a five year old’s and his
memory is like a sieve.
Paul (Parm): Paul is
a helper. He likes to help people
out. He helps Mr. Lai as much as he
can. If Mr. Lai needs something, Paul
will go and get it for him. He is
sympathetic to Mr. Lai because he wants people to like him, too. He doesn’t like to see people unhappy or in
trouble. He doesn’t like it when people
get really mad or lose their tempers. “Oh,
don’t worry about it,” he always says when he sees people starting to lose
it. Paul is an outstanding runner and
has been awarded a track scholarship to an American university.
Rex (Ricky): Rex
always wears dark glasses and only takes them off reluctantly when Mr. Lai asks
him to. He thinks the glasses give him a
style. He also wears a lot of different
hats. He is obsessed with how other
people see him and focuses his attention on creating a strong appealing image
for others. He is graceful and confident
and speaks slowly and clearly. He smiles
as if his teeth are twinkling. He
watches a lot of tv and reads People magazine.
He lifts weights at the gym.
Quent (Quinn): Quent
has a lot of trouble listening. He can’t
sit still. He interrupts people and has
terrible manners. He loves toilet
humour. He has no boundaries and says
whatever comes into his head. He never
feels embarrassed. “It’s all good!” is his favourite thing to say. He used to be friends with Alex, but Alex got
him to join him in a drug fueled weekend of crime and now Quent is reluctant to
hang out with him. He doesn’t want to
end up like Alex’s sister. He lives with
his mom – they don’t know where Quent’s dad is, up north at some mining camp or
something. His dad used to come once in
a while and bring him lots of presents but they haven’t seen him in a few
years.
Martie (Mason): Marty
won the award last year for SLSS MOST IMPROVED STUDENT. Throughout elementary school and in Grade 8,
he was a handful and was always in trouble, but he had an epiphany in Grade 9
when he ran away from home and now he is a model student. He loves all his classes and consistently
demonstrates intellectual curiosity and an eagerness to learn and try new
things. Every day when he comes to
school, he’s excited by the opportunities that are presented to him. His favourite subject is foods and he has
decided he wants to be a chef when he graduates. He wants to travel the world and learn about
the cuisines of other cultures. He is
always smiling.
Noreen (Nina): Noreen
is socially awkward. She “wears her
heart on her sleeve” and tells everyone everything about her social failures
and tries to make a joke of it. She has
unending enthusiasm for everything in Drama.
She secretly has a crush on Kyle (Kristian) and she thinks it’s because
he’s dangerous, but that is one thing that she doesn’t talk about. She would like to have more friends, but
doesn’t know how to make a connection without making people feel uncomfortable.

Cath (Caitlan): Cath
is interested in social justice. Her dad
is a labour lawyer and her mom is a city councilor and there is a lot of
political talk around the dinner table.
Cath has never been shy about expressing her opinions and she does not
“suffer fools gladly” – she is impatient about how ignorant her fellow students
are. She spent one night on the streets
with her parents to see what it’s like to be homeless and this has changed her
life. She and her friend, Erin, have
volunteered at Covenant House and hand out sandwiches at a soup kitchen on the

might be getting obsessed with it. She
knows it’s no fun to have to go without.

if he thinks it’ll get him somewhere with a girl he likes, but his sincerity is
questionable. He is quite good at drama
as long as he doesn’t have to learn any lines.
Chester (Carlos):
Chester is painfully shy. He
stammers when he is expected to talk and sometimes sits in silence hoping that
people will give up expecting him to answer.
He is afraid that people won’t understand what he has to say. He has a stellar sense of humour, but nobody
knows about it, because he only expresses it in his writing, which nobody but
Mr. Bastroianni sees. Chester plays
Counterstrike on line and has a scintillating play by play persona as
“Chesterfield Potato”.
Adrianna (Ariel):
Adrianna likes to shock people.
She says things that people are thinking but that they are too polite or
reserved to say. She likes Mr.
Bastroianni and laughs at his jokes and tries to encourage him. She has known Doug and Nial all her
life. She thinks Nial might be gay but
she doesn’t say anything about that.
That’s his secret. She knows that
Doug has no morals. It doesn’t bother
her, but she despises girls that fall for his lines. She knows you can’t trust anybody. Her older brother is an over achiever. He’s working in Liberia, fighting ebola. Adrianna wants to be a news reader on tv.
Hannah (Hareem):
Hannah has given up. She shows up
at school because her parents won’t let her just stay in bed all day, but she
always brings a copy of whatever fantasy novel she is reading at the time and
reads it throughout every class, until the teacher takes it away from her. Then she just sits and stares into
space. She is finding it hard to pay
attention to what people say to her.
It’s all just so much noise.
“What’s the point?” she thinks. She
wears black, but if she can’t find something black, she doesn’t care. She’ll wear whatever she can find. She doesn’t care what she looks like. She doesn’t care about anything. She feels tired all the time.
Elsa (Elisha): Elisha

organizer. She is the president of the
student council. She is in charge of the
grad committee. She fund raises for
“Jaws with a Cause” and has started a blanket drive to help the homeless. She plays volleyball and the piano.. She has already been accepted at UBC next
year – she is going to study international issues. She is always the leader in her groups. She thinks she’s bossy, but other people
think she’s just a good leader. She can
always get the best out of people.
Laurie (Lydia): Laurie is a helper. She likes to help people out. She helps Mr. Bastroianni as much as she
can. If he needs something, she’ll go
and get it for him. She volunteers when
he needs somebody to step forward. She
doesn’t like to see people unhappy or in trouble. She likes to make peace when people
argue. “Oh, don’t worry about it,” she
says when people start getting themselves worked up. She likes bright colours. She tries to be cheerful even when things are
going wrong. It takes more muscles to frown
than to smile!
Sherry (Sharon):
Sherry skips a lot of school. She
feels like she is grown up and wants to start her real life. She is trying to quit smoking, because she
knows it’s not good for her. She is
going cold turkey which means she is irritable and nervous. She chews a lot of gum. She works at Old Navy and the boss told her
if she could do more shifts and be more flexible, she could be promoted to
assistant manager. When she told her mom
she wanted to quit school and work full time at Old Navy, she went ballistic.
A Block: Write about one of the Aesop Fables and its moral. Which one do you need to learn? Explain why and be specific.
