TONY (played by Christopher Livsey) is an acting student, cheeky and confident, who will try anything once. Tony is most comfortable when bantering with his best friend Jackie. He is energetic and playful, and clearly takes an even greater joy in performing than Jill does.

JILL (played by Roxanne Doyle) - Seth’s girlfriend, and an acting student. Her natural allure can make her charming company, but she is something of a daddy’s girl. Insecure, she tends to rely on others to do things for her, and provide the attention she craves. Her mood swings are extreme, and when she is distressed, she finds relief only through lashing outSeth is usually the direct or indirect object of these attacks,and she knows exactly how to push his buttons. Jill can be very calculating, and often plays the damsel in distress to get her way. Sadly, ‘her way’ rarely leads to lasting satisfaction.

JACKIE (played by Alithea Hages) A fellow student, she is clever, funny and outrageous but has great sensitivity. Her flamboyant dress-sense is just one facet of her colorful personality.

She is not afraid to say exactly what she thinks and relishes being provocative, though she is perhaps less self-assured than Tony.

The SUBWAY KILLER (Played by Pete Ostella) is a mysterious presence lurking in the depths of the subway. He casts an ominous shadow over Manhattan’s commuters and is responsible for making a red bandana the new symbol for terror.

 

MR: CONELLI played by Robert Francis Perillo) An older man of refined manners and culture, possessed of a gentle charm and a calming presence. He freely gives Jill the attention she no longer gets from Seth, and his kind generosity soon makes him  her new best friend and mentor. Mr. Conelli has a conservative, rather vulnerable demeanor.
