Invited Guests
POWERS SCHWARTZ
Chief Executive Officer
Powers Schwartz is the power hungry Chief Executive Officer. Feared by all, this authoritative leader is definitely not one to cross if you know what is good for you! As strong of a Chief as Powers may be, everyone who works for Powers has to ‘bite their tongue’ and be ‘quiet as a mouse’ when Powers speaks, as it’s well known that Powers has a horrible habit of speaking in cheesy clichés!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Formal business attire. Fake business cards as optional props.
​
MORTIE GAUGE
Realtor
If you’re in need of a professional realtor who can get the job done, Mortie Gauge is the only one to call upon…at least that is what Mortie’s tacky television commercials say! This ultra-fake and overly friendly realtor is definitely looking out for ‘number one’ so if Mortie is representing you with a new home purchase, a ‘good deal’ is the last thing you should expect! Friendliness can be deceiving as Mortie is a friend to nobody!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Business casual attire. Fake business cards, house listings, etc. as optional props.
​
GLOTTIE LARINX
Vegas Lounge Performer
Glottie Larinx’s photo is plastered on billboards and buses throughout Las Vegas, Nevada as Glottie’s one of the long-standing lounge performers on Freemont Street. With lungs of an athlete and the vocal chords of a canary, Glottie will entertain you with constant, never-ending performances! Too bad that Glottie has a compulsive gambling problem and is an endless ‘one-upper’ or this performer would be an awesome friend to have!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Semi-formal attire. Fake microphone as an optional prop.
​
REECE VAUGHN
B Movie Actor/Actress
Reece Vaughn is the struggling B movie actor/actress. Known for powerful screams and overly dramatic chase scenes, Reece is destined for the Hollywood Big Screen one day….or is s/he? Well, according to Reece, if s/he doesn’t make it – it would be anyone’s fault besides this drama conjurer’s as s/he is very quick to point the blame at anyone for anything.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Slightly trendy attire albeit cheap looking. Fake DVD covers of B Horror movies as optional accessories.
​
TRUMPY GATES
Wealthy Entrepreneur
Trumpy Gates is the uber-wealthy entrepreneur and world traveler. Trumpy’s extremely condescending nature certainly doesn’t earn him/her a spot in anyone’s circle of friends, especially because s/he often forgets who is one of his/her many employees! According to Trumpy, everyone works for him/her either directly or indirectly and if not, they’re for sale at a price.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Very trendy and expensive looking attire. Money (fake) coming out of every pocket. Oversized costume jewelry.
​
AVY ARIE
Bird Watcher
Avy Arie is the overly romantic bird watcher who originally hails from a small, isolated island off the coast of South Africa. An avid poet, Avy is also a great and loyal friend to have…that is if you don’t mind the intimate space breaches and constant fashion violations. Do you hear the fashion police sirens going off? Yup! Avy just got dressed for the party!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Cheesy safari outfit with binoculars as an optional prop. You are a fashion disaster!
​
SOSS PARSLEY
Personal Chef
Soss Parsley is the accident-prone personal chef to Trumpy Gates. Known to have a constant black cloud looming above, this bad luck guru of the kitchen certainly isn’t one to pick up any messes or much less possess a shred of good manners. This is definitely not a chef you’d want to bring home to meet the parents! Unless they own a charm school, that is!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Chef’s uniform. Optional props are spatulas, rolling pin, measuring spoons, fake chef’s knife, etc.
​
TIP BURTON
Wedding Videographer
Tip Burton is the most melancholy wedding videographer on the planet! Why this doom and gloomer would choose a career to film couples on the happiest day of their lives is beyond anyone’s comprehension. However, this gothic wedding videographer’s dark and quirky wedding videos are becoming quite the trend.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Gothic, dark attire. A French beret and blue tinted sunglasses as optional props.
​
PAT INTEMAN
Inventor
Pat Inteman is one of the most brilliant folks you’ll ever meet! A Harvard Grad, Pat is an over-achiever who continued with graduate school in Biomedical Engineering at MIT. This creative engineer, however, has a problem with the control of his/her voice at times, as s/he goes from whispering to nearly shouting within the same sentence!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Business casual. Any type of nut, bolt, blue print, robot, etc. as an optional prop. Fake patents as optional accessories.
​
TAKEY TAKERTON & FRIENDS
Unemployed Couch Potato
There’s no doubt that Takey McTakerton should be angry! Anyone that lacks ambition and doesn’t have a job should be downright furious…with themselves, that is! However, this couch potato has some major anger management issues so get ready to ‘walk on eggshells’ around this lazy soul unless you want to be a victim of a senseless tirade. Strangely, Takey is hardly seen without his/her group of loyal unemployed friends.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Stained white tank top. Stained pants. Bag of chips and an empty wallet as optional props.
​
SUNNY FLOWERS
Florist
Sunny who? Well, that is what most people will say about Sunny Flowers as s/he is one of the most shy and reserved characters you will ever meet. Sunny lingers in the back of a crowd and watches from the shadows. Weird enough, s/he is also known to speak to plants way more than people!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Casual work attire with an apron. Pruning shears and flowers (real or silk) as optional props.
​
SKYLER GREEN
Professional Golfer
Skyler Green is the narcissistic and extremely cheerful professional golfer who really knows how to get a party started! Appreciated by all as the ‘life of the party,’ this golf-loving partier loves to impersonate golf course animals!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Golf attire. Clubs, tees and balls as optional props. Golf visor is optional.
