Characters

  • Sonal

    She’s performing at the festival this year, but a positive pregnancy test has her in a tailspin. The only guy who could be the father is a mime from a one-night stand she’d rather forget.

    Sonal has a magnetic personality. She makes friends instantly everywhere she goes, but her brash attitude makes for an unpredictable but intoxicating state of chaos.

  • Cyril

    Cyril is pushing himself to go beyond the tricks and connect with the audience in a new way, but risks "making an ass" of himself and failing in the process."

    He practices juggling three hours a day, every day. He has the focus and strength of an Olympic athlete and has big cult leader energy. You cannot help but love him.

  • Lucy

    Lucy is flirtatious, goofy, and lovable. She transitioned after joining the juggling community, and many other queer jugglers credit her with making the space feel more inclusive.


    While at the festival, she gets a corporate gig in town. She needs it to pay her bills, but it might just be one soul-sucking job too many.

  • Alex

    He’s at the festival to see old friends and have a good time. When he runs into Sonal, we learn that he hoped their late night encounter wasn’t just a one-time thing, and that he could be the kind of guy she could trust.

    While mimes are often the butt of the joke, Alex is the truth-teller of our story and demonstrates that clowns might be on to something.

  • Julia

    One of Sonal’s best friends. She is younger than Sonal, but more pragmatic— she keeps Sonal on track. She is excited to be performing with Sonal at the Cascade of Stars show this year, but concerned that Sonal seems distracted.
