The Fiona Five: A High School Comedy (Original RadioPlay)
animeflames for Kelsey Greenberg
KELSEY GREENBERG (Female; 16 years old; wearing purple) - The plain Jane, and the poor unglamorous one of the group, who is introduced and groomed to be The fifth member of The Fiona Five. Her father has a blue-collar job and she lives in an apartment. Kelsey is sweet and modest, thinking she will never be anything more than an ugly poor girl. But her chance to become a Fiona Five member and enjoy the good life is like a dream come true. Naturally she is nervous but willing to take up the challenge. There is much about herself she doesn't know, but a friendship with Ayla Zhen may change all that. In the end, she may go too far and begin to act like a stuck-up princess.
Voice: Modeled after Audrey Hepburn, Kelsey has a more plain voice, but should be able to carry herself with more poise when meeting Fiona and The Fiona Five. Her insecurity and enthusiasm should be balanced out.
- (Narration) "You don't see many people wearing long gloves much anymore do you? But if I was to be a member of The Fiona Five, the long awaited fifth member of the group, I had to wear these glamourous purple gloves. Here I stood by the east building waiting for my new friends. I was nervous, practically hugging my arms with my gloves. People were definitely staring, but some nodded to me thinking I might have been a Fiona Five sister. It felt good actually. I've always wanted to be recognized as something more than just plain old poor Kelsey Greenberg. I checked my phone. Where were they? And suddenly they all came walking in a row, The Fiona Five."
- (Eating lunch with Ayla) "My friend Tom used to work here. One day he was on an acid trip and ran around yelling at everyone, 'The burgers are made of people.' So they threw him out."
- (Being interviewed by Fiona) "My favorite Marilyn Monroe movie? There's so many. I mean 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' is a classic. Actually I have kind of a personal affiliation with 'Some like it Hot'. It was my grandma's favorite movie. It would be fun to study film. I love the classic looks, the old fashion, the authenticity of it all. I guess it's something we've kind of lost in this modern era."
