Brief Synopsis:
Sunny, a perpetual hippie, and her sister Joni own a charming bakery in Spring Lake, NJ. Joni’s boyfriend Brian convinces them to take an extensive loan using the family home as collateral to renovate the bakery and enter a contest with the Treats and Tweets online reality show in order to increase sales. The host of the show, Maurice Bailee, and his assistant Charlie, show up for live streaming a week early in the midst of the renovations, and expected (and unexpected) chaos ensues.
Roles available for 2 men, 2 women, 2 either
Joni - F, 60s. Sunny's younger sister. An impetuous, hopeless romantic, she invited Brian to come live with her and Sunny soon after meeting.
Sunny - F, late 60s-early 70s. Joni's older sister. She's the brains of the operation and keeper of the recipes. Sometimes she uses the special butter to make her brownies.
Brian - M, 60s-70s. Joni's boyfriend - a businessman who has no home of his own and is between projects. He's attempting to bring in more business for Sweet Revenge by leveraging his business acumen - and the sisters' home - much to Sunny's chagrin.
Charlie Charles - Any gender identification, 20s-40s. Maurice Bailee's assistant - and by assistant, I mean this person does it all. High strung and always with their inhaler at hand, Charlie learns to let loose when they happen upon some of Sunny's special brownies.
Maurice Bailee - M, 60s-70s. A charmer on camera, he's a real piece of work off set. He's the host of Treats and Tweets and he loves to eat almost as much as he likes to hear himself talk.
Andy - Any gender identification, any adult age. The local law enforcement - always on the lookout. Madly in love with Sunny's baking.
