This play is designed to be very flexible. There are many possibilities for double or triple casting (or more!). You may have each Employee or Manager played by a different actor, or you can have them played by the same actors from Scene 1, with Alex being the Employee in each scene.
Note: It would be best for Employee interacting with Steve/Stevie to be the same Employee in all three scenes. Additional Customers and Employees can be added to the background of any scene, including characters from previous scenes.
