“DOC” – (early 40s) Part mad scientist, part Indiana Jones, “Doc” used to work as a chemist for a multi-national chemical company in the Midwest, but was "let go" for undisclosed reasons.  He is a perennial bachelor who lives for the adventure of discovering cures and healing people.  Constantly flying around the world seeking rare ingredients for his concoctions, people flock from everywhere to the bar for his infamous weekly health tonics.  Has an infatuation with Brie.

 

BRIANNA (BRIE) – (30s - 40s) Classically attractive in appearance, but quietly brilliant.  With a smile that could sell anything, Brie was well known for her work as a product model on a popular network TV game show. But tired of being objectified, she "lost it" one day onset, when she spontaneously jumped onto the show's signature “Mega Money Wheel” and began screaming at the top of her lungs.  A master baker and raw foods chef, she finds serenity in nurturing others.  Still bitter towards men and touchy about her past.

 

VIOLET -  (30s) A regular at the Juice Bar, Violet is a warm-hearted,  eccentric semi-expert in the “new age healing arts.”  Constantly donning some new job title (e.g. astrologist, intuitive, life coach, nutritionist, feng shui advisor, etc), she sits at the same spot at the Juice Bar every day counseling others and working her brand of wacky magic.  Gets along with almost everyone, except Kenneth.

 

 

KENNETH -  A regular at the Juice Bar, Kenneth (30s, African-American) is a conservative straight-laced corporate lawyer who reps several multi-national companies with questionable business practices.  Although he means well, Kenneth sometimes lacks a conscience.  Somewhat of a hypochondriac, he always comes into the Juice Bar in search of a cure for his latest ailment.  Although he’s a big fan of the organic health movement, he can’t stand bogus healers like Violet.

 

PETER – (early 20s) A regular at the Juice Bar, Peter is an aspiring actor from England.  Highly trained in Shakespeare and all forms of classical theater, he sometimes feels that the entertainment industry out here is beneath him.  Hypersensitive, his occasional bit parts and gigs in commercials often leave him feeling demoralized.  He comes to the Juice Bar daily for community and emotional support.

 

ANNA – (early 20s, Latina) From Brooklyn, New York, Anna is a new employee of the “Body Bar” section at Juice Bar.  No-nonsense, she won’t hesitate to tell you what she thinks of you.  Fed up with the mumbo jumbo of the new age movement, Anna has a hard time selling the latest holistic body care products and is seriously considering going back home to New York.  Secretly, though, she wants to believe in all the magic.

 

SAUL THE SECURITY GUARD – (50s, African-American) An ex-NFL linebacker, who was permanently sidelined by a knee injury, Saul is extremely deadpan.  Besides his street-smarts and his unintentional wit, he can also still fling any man pretty far.
