OFFICE WOMAN – female, any ethnicity, mid 30’s to mid 40′s. As the office cheerleader, she leads her fellow employees in the office ‘gift exchange’. This woman has a great unique voice – bubbly, vivacious, fun and possibly quirky.

SUZANNE – female, any ethnicity, late 40’s to mid 50’s. A great character face. Comes off as a bit frumpy and sullen at the office, until the perfect gift brings out her playful side.

COOKIE WOMAN – female, any ethnicity, late 20′s to early 30′s. She’s a mid-level office professional. Polite and friendly with an expressive face. She gets stuck on the phone with a client while everyone else is enjoying the holiday cookies she’s been looking forward to having all year. Will she get off the phone in time?

MALE CO-WORKER – male, any ethnicity, mid 30′s to mid 40′s. Quirky and interesting looking guy. Whether he ate the last cookie or ate more than his fair share, he’s guilty and he knows it. Actor must be willing and physically able to eat cookies, and have a great “guilty” look.
