Description:
Director: Adam. “Wait, Wait, Don’t Kill Me.”
A horror comedy set in Philadelphia about an unknown virus spreading in a poor neighborhood.

When the military is brought in to contain the situation, things potentially improve for the outside world, but not for the characters.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gilberto | Male | South American/Latino | 41-50 | Gilberto: A Hispanic garbage man in his mid-40s. An aspiring gourmet cook and a kind, protective man who is far more thoughtful than he first appears. Father of two, Iris and Chandra, married to Cheryl. |
| Cheryl | Female | African American | 41-50 | Cheryl: A black para-legal in her early 40s. She's fastidious, composed, and resourceful. Mother of two, Iris and Chandra, married to Gilberto. |
| Quenton | Male | Any Ethnicity | 25-30 | Quenton: A white, unemployed writer in his late 20s. He's biting and sarcastic, but oddly caring. Married to Gray. Lives one flight above Gilberto. |
| Gray | Male | Caucasian | 25-30 | Gray: A white school teacher at Iris and Chandra's public school. He's in his late 20s. He's level-headed but certainly not above cutting remarks. Lives with his husband Quenton, one flight above Gilberto. |
| Kate | Female | Caucasian | 25-30 | Kate: A white college student in her early 20s. She's a vegetarian, an aspiring feminist with a pixie haircut and ambiguous sexuality. Lives on the first floor, two flights below Gilberto |
| Bobby | Male | Japanese | 18-24 | Bobby: A Japanese grocery store worker in his early 20s. He's naive and idealistic, honorable and sweet. He works at the grocery store down the block from Gilberto, Quenton, etc. |
| Erin | Female | Asian | 25-30 | Erin: An Asian grad student in her mid-20s. She studies psychology, and is curt, impatient, and self-important, while feigning politeness. She lives on the first floor of Gilberto's building |
| Dennis | Male | Caucasian | 41-50 | Dennis: A white writer/marketer in his early-50s. He's a born-again Christian, former salesman, with a gun fetish and a half-hearted combover. He seems like a cliché but he's actually much more troubled and self-aware than that. |
| Serious Business | Male | Caucasian | Any Age | Serious Businessman: A white military bureaucrat of indeterminate age. He's sneaky, ambitious, and pragmatic. He's The General's direct subordinate. |
| Chandra | Female | Mixed | 11-14 | Chandra: A mixed-race 17 year-old high school student. She's the daughter of Gilberto and Cheryl. She's smart and funny and has a very mature relationship with her mom |
| Iris | Female | Mixed | 6-10 | Iris: A mixed-race 10 year-old student. She's the daughter of Gilberto and Cheryl. She's curious, intelligent, but she's a very young 10 year-old. |
| The General | Male | Caucasian | Any Age | The General: A white military bureaucrat about 15-20 years older than Serious Business. He's arrogant and dismissive, but quite media savvy. He's more worried about appearances than facts. |
