The cast includes Aaron Franks, David Hullett, Benjamin Ruland, Alyssa Saunders, Chad Kennedy, Elizabeth Taraba of Pittsburg; Francisco Arroyo and Alyson Cortez of Mount Pleasant; Nathan Johnson of Mount Vernon; Hannah Dove of Atlanta; Chris Smith of Daingerfield; Alex Plunkett of Gilmer; and Celina Singer of Immensee, Switzerland.
