RICKY STAKONIS
Ricky is a good looking young man in his twenties who has left his small town home in Oklahoma
and moved to Nashville, Tennessee to get discovered as a talented songwriter at the world famous
One Kiss Cafe. He was raised by a struggling single mother and extended family
But what he lacked in stability he more than made up for with his good looks and charisma.
Success has always come easily for Ricky. He has a history of being
a ladies man and using his wild imagination in his songwriting. Ricky can play guitar.
SARA BAKER
Sara is from a small town in Ohio and has also moved to Nashville to pursue her songwriting dreams.
Although she has already been in Nashville for nine months and is working as a waitress at the One Kiss Cafe,
she is struggling in her music career and having a hard time being inspired to write new music.
She is in her twenties and is attractive in a girl next door way. She is the oldest daughter in a farming family,
active in every aspect of school music, theatre, and church activities as well.
The TRUTH is her golden chalice in both her personal life and her songwriting.
TOOTSIE MCCOY
Tootsie is a woman in her late forties to sixties and is the owner and bartender at the One Kiss Cafe.
She traveled many years with her husband who was a rodeo cowboy. When he passed
(may he rest in peace), she decided to pursue her second love, country music. She opened up this little music venue
16 years ago. Its success as a place for songwriters to get "discovered" has garnered it world-wide fame
in songwriting circles. She is humorous, wise, charismatic, and is very much a surrogate mother-figure
to both Ricky and Sara.
CARL MIDAS BRADFORD
Midas is a man in his late thirties to forties. He is an Armani suit-wearing, smooth-talking city slicker
from Los Angeles. He is the president of the Song Syndicate, the most successful music publisher in Nashville.
He is motivated by greed and has little regard for country music or the songwriters who create it.
His m/o is to sign as many talented songwriters as possible to staff writing deals in a numbers game.
His theory is that if you crank out enough songs a few of them will make it big.
