Character Type/Restrictions:

Heidi (Female-presenting, AAPI or Latinx, casting ages 35–50): The central lead, originally played by the playwright. Requires a dynamic, witty, and deeply engaging actor who shifts between her adult self and her 15-year-old teenage debate-champion persona, balancing comedic storytelling with raw, down-to-earth emotion. Must be comfortable memorizing long pieces of text.

The Legionnaire / Mike (Male-presenting, casting ages 45–60): Starts as an authoritative American Legion official policing the rules, then transitions into a genuine, supportive personal ally and debate participant in the second half. Represents a real man from Heidi’s life, and was chosen for the original show to act as a safe, supportive, male energy for Heidi throughout the piece.
