Nico was a Fashion Model
Levittown teenagers, Luís and Jesse, will do anything to get into closing night of CBGB. But just when they realize their fake IDs are a bust, Luís meets his muse who becomes their ticket into the club. A series of events force Luís to examine his own identity and the character of those around him.
Cast Requirements
LUIS - 16, light skinned Latino that can pass for Caucasian,
skinny and androgynous, dresses in his “idea” of punk and
Rock & Roll
JESSE - 16, black, skinny, Luís’s best friend. Also dresses
in his “idea” of punk and Rock & Roll, although his dress is
a bit more of a sophisticated “idea.”
CHRISTA - 17, white, extremely fair, long blond straight
hair. She should quite shockingly resemble Nico from The
Velvet Underground.
