All characters can be played by actors of any race/ethnicity and by cis and transgender actors. The main cast of Sams and Alexes can be played by actors in their mid-20s to early 30s. The Busker should be played by an actor in their early 20s (someone college-aged) and can be played by an actor of any gender, with character pronouns in the script to match. It would also be nice if the Busker can play guitar.
