Guest List

 

SUNNY SHINEWELL
Swim Coach, Sun Valley High School
The beautiful Sunny Shinewell is a prim and proper lady. She is an undefeated swim team coach for Sun Valley High School and takes her job very seriously. Sunny has a mysterious character, but she’s a gracious and loyal friend. Many people close to her say she’s not been the same since her heart was broken two years ago. Sunny swears she has moved on, but only time will tell.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. A whistle is an optional prop.

 

MARCO POLO
Lifeguard, Sun Valley Recreation Center
Marco Polo is a charismatic gentleman and an energetic Sun Valley Recreation Center pool lifeguard. However, he’s recently been falling asleep on the lifeguard stand while on duty. Many say he is a liability to the recreation center, and someone is bound to get hurt while he’s on watch. Marco contends he is fine and is now controlling his sleepy situation with energy drinks. But why is Marco so tired? That’s the question the recreation center manager would like to have answered!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. A whistle and a boogeyboard are optional props.

 

UVI RAZE
Surf Instructor, Sun Valley Beach
If you looked up the word perfectionist in the dictionary, Uvi’s picture would be next to the description. Uvi Raze is a total fusspot when it comes to surfing.  Even though Uvi’s the best at riding the waves, she constantly needs to improve. Uvi has been stressed out lately with false news reports of sharks around Sun Valley Beach. This is ruining her business! Uvi claims the local news has nothing to report, so they are fabricating stories!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. Surfboard as an optional prop.

 

BRELLA BEACHES
Olympic Gold Medalist
Brella Beaches is an Olympic gold medalist and reigning national swimming champion.  She picked up three gold medals while competing in the last summer Olympics.  Nevertheless, she’s let success go to her pretty head, as she’s become quite the narcissist. Because she boasts about how perfect she is in the media, paparazzi follow her in an attempt to catch her doing something unscrupulous.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. A fake Olympic gold medal as an optional prop.

 

RAY SONLEY
Paperboy, Sun Valley Times

Ray is the introverted neighborhood paperboy for the Sun Valley Times. Ray’s a good listener, so he's your boy if you need someone to talk to. However, don’t expect to get much in return, as he’s not known for stimulating conversation. Many of the townspeople criticize Ray for not having future career aspirations.  He defends himself by saying he is happy where he is in life and nobody has the right to judge him. Papers need to be delivered!

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. Newspapers are optional props.

 

TANNY WATERS
Owner, Sun Valley Tanning Salon
Tanny Waters is the bubbly tanning salon owner. She has a history of sibling rivalry with her brother, Speed O. Blue. She’s quirky and would rather sing her words than speak normally. This behavior tends to drive a few people crazy—especially her brother. Tanny is currently working on a commercial ad campaign for her tanning salon. She has strong opposition from skincare advocates, but this isn’t stopping her.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. Fake coupons for Beach Palm Tanning Salon are optional props.

 

SALLY SURFTON
Sun Block Chemist, Bronzetone Skincare
Sally Surfton is the no-nonsense sunblock chemist for Bronzetone Skincare.  She will not tolerate anyone going out in the sun without protection and is famous for lengthy lectures about proper skin care! Sally makes it well known that she is against any behavior involving the willing damage of the skin. This includes visiting tanning salons. Sally has vowed to put a stop to Tanny Water’s ad campaign for her tanning salon.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. Different bottles of suntan lotion are optional props.

 

SPEED O. BLUE
Sun Valley Recreation Center Manager
Speed O. Blue remains professional as the Sun Valley Recreation Center manager during his shifts. However, his arrogance and ill-manneredness are stifling once he's off work. He’s rude, but his English accent seems enough to win some people over. Too bad his accent isn’t authentic, however. Speed O. Blue is a former schoolyard bully who has broken a few hearts in his time. For this reason, he’s not the most popular person in the town of Sun Valley.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Speedo Bathing Suit (not unless ya wanna). Any poolside attire.

 

DANGER
Reality Television Star
Danger is an ultra-competitive reality television star. Her boorish behavior can be shocking at times, but it’s well-suited for reality television. There isn’t much that Danger hasn’t done on the small screen, but if there’s a challenge facing her, she’ll take it.  Rumor has it that Danger has signed a contract to be on a ground-breaking docu-series that will be released next year. Too bad she can’t talk about it. Everybody is dying to know what the show’s about!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Wear very casual poolside attire, with optional bandages for fake injuries and a bag of plastic insects/snakes as a prop.

 

MAY FLOWERS
Heiress
May Flowers is the snooty heiress of Sun Valley.  Her mansion is the only one of its kind in town, but nobody besides her best friend, Uvi Raze, has ever been allowed inside!  The neighbors often wonder what this ritzy diva is hiding. The Flowers family have built most of the buildings in town, run at least half of the businesses, and have many influential connections across the nation. May is not one to be messed with – that’s for sure. However, there are rumors that May’s been dealing with a blackmailer. Who would be so foolish?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Trendy poolside attire. Fake money/gold pieces in money bags and extravagant costume jewelry as optional props.

 

MELAN O. SITE
Monster Truck Driver
Melan O. Site is the most annoying one-upper you’ll ever meet.  If you’ve done, said, or tried anything - Melan will give you an elaborate story about how she’s done it more often, said it already, and tried it twice!  Mischief is her middle name, as she often drives her enormous monster trucks around town - even though they are not street-legal. Melan has many corporate sponsors with her gig, so she needs to keep her nose clean. Even so much as a traffic ticket wouldn’t fare well with her sponsors.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. Optional mini toy monster trucks as props.

 

SAM SOLBLOCK
Owner, Sam's Sugar Shack
Fun is Sam Solblock’s middle name. Sam’s a gourmet candy maker and owner of Sam’s Sugar Shack. He occasionally pulls practical jokes on friends, family, and even customers. A child at heart, when you are around this chocolatier, watch your back. However, he's not made up of all smiles, as someone recently took advantage of the store's return policy. Sam’s business is in dire straits, and he needs to do something fast!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. A Post-it notepad and a pen are highly suggested props, and any practical joke item is optional.

 

MAKKEN R. WAVES & FRIENDS
Unemployed Moocher

Marken R. Waves has been unemployed ever since he inherited his home from his great-grandmother years ago. He is physically capable of working but claims he doesn’t want to because a job would interfere with playing video games. He borrows money for his living expenses from his friends, who have all started to avoid him for that reason. As ducks fly with ducks, Makken usually has a group of his fellow mooches with him. If you’re around them for more than ten seconds, they will ask you for money, so beware.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire or gamer-themed costume or pajamas. You don't want to look employable. A wallet with nothing inside as an optional prop.

 

DIVEY BORDS
Professional Diver
Divey Bords is the spunky professional diver and Sun Valley Diving Team captain.  Divey often mocks people to get under their skin, so many people try to avoid this high diver.

Recently, there has been strife among the team, but Divey believes it is now under control.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Trendy poolside attire.

 

PET POOLFER
Babysitter
Pet Poolfer is the gregarious neighborhood babysitter.  If you are shy about hearing the truth, do not even speak to Pet.  This is one brutally honest babysitter who has a habit of over-exaggeration. Lately, Pet has had difficulty keeping a watchful eye on big groups of kids. Pet often brings large groups in public, and things don’t always go as planned.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. Any items that a babysitter would have as optional props (e.g., sunscreen, coloring books, beach ball, etc.). A real-looking baby doll as an optional prop.

​

JAY BOND
FBI Agent
Jay Bond is a meticulous and hardnosed Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent. Jay takes everything in life seriously and doesn’t have a shred of a sense of humor. He believes everybody is up to no good. The only reason he accepted Sunny Shinewell’s invitation is probably because he is working on a case or maybe holding a grudge against another guest.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. A toy gun and fake ear piece as an optional prop.

 

STAN GRABLE
College Student
Stan Grable is the ultimate ‘Big Man on Campus’ at Sun Valley College. He is the president of the Alpha Beta Fraternity, the quarterback of the Sun Valley College football team, and the student body president. He also devotes hours of his free time to local no-kill animal shelters. Stan seems like the perfect man on the surface. However, when you see how he treats the nerds at school, you’ll quickly change your opinion of him.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Very trendy poolside attire.

 

BEAU TOCKSAN
Cosmetic Surgeon
Details, details, details! If you’re speaking to Dr. Beau Tocksan, you better prepare for many intricate fine points and facts! This is one overexplaining cosmetic surgeon who is always ready to give you sound medical advice about how he can take ‘years off’ and make you look like your celebrity of choice. Many people don’t appreciate Beau’s constant analysis of their appearance, but others see it as a free consultation.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire with a lab coat. Fake business cards are an optional prop.

 

MIDAS KING
Entrepreneur
There is absolutely nothing that Midas King can’t do!  Midas is constantly starting new business ventures – from creating his own record label to opening a motorpark! This industrialist has his hands in almost everything!  Some say it’s as if he lives his life under a ‘good luck spell’ because if Midas wants it to succeed, it does!  Funny enough, this wealthy success story aspires to become a standup comic one day.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. Fake money pouring out of every pocket, etc. is optional props.

 

SANDY FISHWELL
National Beach Volleyball Champion
Sandy Fishwell is the fun-loving childhood friend of Tanny Waters and Speed O. Blue.  If you need advice on exercise, diet, or volleyball…she’s the one to visit!  Just don’t let her overly friendly and fake persona get to you, as she does have overall good intentions.  Sandy has always been one to cut a rug every time her friend Tanny sings a tune!  These two make a peculiar yet entertaining pair!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Poolside attire. Volleyball is an optional prop.

 

ADOLPHI SHARX
Marine Biologist
Adolphi Sharx is the nerdy head marine biologist from the local amusement park Ocean World. Beware if you say anything even slightly amusing around this animated brainiac, as your ears will split from loud, crazy laughter!  Adolphi is rather sensitive about the recent public scrutiny of the waterpark and has asked her friends not to bring up the topic around her. She claims she is a researcher and has nothing to do with the performance side of the park.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Conservative/nerdy poolside attire. Glasses with a taped bridge is an optional prop.
