Echo is a visual novel created by the Echo Project, My friend and I are simply just fans who wish to see this presented in a musical theatre format.
"You're only moving in circles."
The story centers around Chase Hunter, as he returns to his hometown of Echo to complete a school project surrounding the town's history. He is joined by five of his childhood friends, who take advantage of the opportunity to have a reunion. Things are not like they were, however, as time drives a wedge between old friends. Events soon spiral out of control, and Chase's reunion is plagued by rising tensions and disturbing occurrences as past tragedies loom large. Haunted by forces both internal and external, Chase and his friends are forced to confront both the secrets of the town, and their own past.
We're currently seeking out roles in batches (Starting with the friend group.), Ive already casted Chase and Flynn, but everyone else is open.

Hey! Chase... I've missed you. (He's nervous and excited.)
Yeah, I still work at my dads repair shop and all that. But they live in payton in a house twice as big as the one here. We tried to sell it but once people see the name of the town “Echo” they change their mind.
I never asked you to drop anything, I want to know if you’re gonna come back. Why can’t you plan ahead farther than a week? Fuck, I swear it’s always like this with you. Is Echo so bad that you don’t be here even if you have friends around?
Jenna is a compassionate yet sly young women. Jenna grew up in a broken household and has trauma from her father. She is sorta the group leader (besides Leo.)

I mean what he did say about me… about my family… it was pathetic of him. He has no right to tell me that I'm wrong for leaving that crack house.
Alright! Chase, Leo has something to say to you. And yes, it's about whatever you're thinking. Now I’m going to head back to the room to make sure Carl doesn't light up in the bathroom.
I'm still an undergrad but I'm probably not going to be a counselor, that would just make me sad. But what’s on your mind though, Leo?
Carl is a anxious young man who finds relaxation in "lighting up". He is a comedic relief character but he occasionally has some sadder moments.
Additional Information:
Tenor

That was a little too far... I can take whatever weak and pathetic hits you throw at me but don’t say that stuff about "Cheo" like that. He had a good reason to dump him.
Yeah and he’d go out too far and you cry like a little girl!
I’m still kinda shooken up from what just happened… I need to be alone with my thoughts for a second.
TJ is a sensitive yet charming soul. He is always smiling or just being happy, but occasionally he has breakdowns and such. He blames himself for a traumatic incident that happened to everyone in the friend and can't let go of the fact that he could've caused harm to someone.

Don't worry, I'm not really on instagram or like any social media all that much. I'm so hungry tho, do you know when Leo and them are going to be here?
He was doing it on purpose! He knows I don't like water.
You heard what Flynn said! I watched it happen and I didn't do anything about it. Why aren't you mad at me?
