JENNA: Female, 20s-30s, any ethnicity. A woman stuck in her life as an unhappily married waitress in a small town. Finds some happiness and expression through her meticulous baking of pies and her friendships with her coworkers. Has a fantastic pop/rock voice with great range.
DAWN: Female, 20s, any ethnicity. She is the youngest of the waitresses. Thick glasses, eccentric is the nice way to say she’s slightly unusual, and not so slightly OCD. Has an excellent pop/rock/folk voice.
BECKY: Female, early 40s-early 50s, any ethnicity. The oldest of the three waitresses. Irreverent, irascible, been there, made it back. Has a soulful pop voice with an excellent pop belt.
DR. POMATTER: Male, 30s-early 40s, any ethnicity. Handsome, endearing, and neurotic. Has a warm, if clumsy, matter. Jenna’s gynecologist with whom an unexpected extramarital affair is born. Impeccable comedic timing and moves well. Has a very strong pop/rock tenor.
EARL: Male, 20S-30s. Caucasian. Jenna’s husband. Peaked in high school, handsome in a gruff way, but that face is clouded with broken dreams, drowned with cheap beer.
OGIE: Male, 30s, any ethnicity. Strange, yet oddly lovable. Becomes slightly obsessed with Dawn after she goes on a 5-minute date with him. Has excellent comedic timing. Has an excellent pop/rock tenor/baritenor sound.
JOE: Male, 60s-70s, any ethnicity. The owner of the diner where Jenna, Dawn, Becky, and Cal work. A seemingly old, curmudgeonly man who has a soft spot for Jenna (and her pie), warm at heart. A sarcastically funny and no-nonsense guy with a keen ability to read people.
CAL: Male, 40s, any ethnicity. A chef at the diner. A “Salt of the Earth” guy’s guy surrounded by gals. Brash, impatient, unsentimental, but somehow charming. Has a strong pop/rock voice with great comedic chops.

RACHEL WATSON: Rachel is a complicated and, at times, an unlikeable and unreliable character. In her own perspective, she is a divorcée, deeply depressed over her infertility and a failed marriage.
MEGAN HIPWELL: Megan is not at all the model wife and glamorous beauty Rachel imagines her to be. Haunted by her painful past—she is responsible for the accidental death of her baby—she is unable to confide in anyone.
ANNA WATSON: Anna defines herself by her looks and her sexual power over men. She is like Megan in that she had an affair with a married man and like Rachel in that her husband is cheating on her.
TOM WATSON: At first glance, Tom seems to be a supportive ex-husband who continues to care for Rachel long after their divorce, an attentive husband to Anna, and an adoring father to their baby girl. As it turns out, he is cheating on Anna the way he cheated on Rachel, this time with Megan.
SCOTT HIPWELL: Scott is very much in love with his wife, Megan, yet his jealous and impulsive nature makes him snoop in his wife's things, overstepping all privacy boundaries. When jealous, he flies into fits of anger and violence, regretting them afterward.
