CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
|
5 adult males, ages late 20’s - late 50’s
6 adult females, ages late 20’s - late 50’s VISITOR FROM NEW YORK Hannah Warren (female) - Workaholic reporter/writer; intelligent, sophisticated, opinionated, sarcastic, witty New Yorker. Loves to banter with her ex Billy but her banter now serves to mask her fear of losing her daughter. William (Billy) Warren (male) - Hannah’s ex-husband. Former New Yorker, now gone “Californian” all the way… fit, healthy, tanned, very laid back and mellow and tries not to let Hannah best him. VISITOR FROM PHILADELPHIA Marvin Michaels (male) - Conservative middle-aged businessman. An average Joe who finds himself in an awkward situation which causes him fits of anxiety, frantic behavior and attempted quick-thinking to cover up his “problem.” Somewhat physical role that requires him to pick up and drag Bunny around. Millie Michaels (female) - Marvin’s jet-lagged and unsuspecting wife. She loves her husband and is the kind of person for whom marriage is a lifelong commitment. Though not happy with the current situation, she is trying her best to be understanding, patient and forgiving. Bunny (female) - Marvin’s “problem.” A hooker/call girl passed out in Marvin’s bed from downing a large bottle of vodka last evening. Mostly comatose, has no dialogue but does moan and groan on occasion as well some limited arm movements. A physical role which requires her to be manipulated by Marvin. VISITORS FROM LONDON (FYI… both actors must use British accents.) Diana Nichols (female) - British actress nominated for an Oscar and prepping to attend ceremony with her husband Sidney. She is witty and a bit biting and very nervous about the awards and her mood fluctuates between hope, panic and despair. Sidney Nichols (male) - British antiques dealer and “closeted” bon vivant bisexual husband of Diana who’s recently becoming a little more open about his lifestyle. He’s mostly laid back , easy-going, and witty and tries his best to keep Diana calm before the big ceremony. VISITORS FROM CHICAGO (FYI… all roles in this “farce-like” scene are very physical.) Mort Hollender (male) - Married to Beth and on a disastrous vacation trip with best friends the Franklyn’s. Trying to tend to his wife’s injured ankle, he is usually casual and easy-going but doesn’t handle crises well and is extremely frustrated with his vacation companions. Beth Hollender (female) - Mort’s wife and experiencing extreme pain having just sprained her ankle playing tennis. Although mainly friendly, she is outrageously brassy, forward and highly opinionated. Stu Franklyn (male) - Colleague of Mort and married to Gert and on vacation with his best friends the Hollender’s. While he is trying to be helpful in assisting with Beth’s injury, he thinks very highly of himself and believes he has a superior intellect to Mort. Gert Franklyn (female) - Stu’s wife and also trying her best to assist Beth with her injury. A bit obsessed with her looks/grooming, sees herself as glamorous and wants others to see her that way as well. Perhaps a little ditzy and a bit “slow on the uptake.” Ends up injured as well after banging her head (offstage) on the bathroom medicine cabinet during the scene. |
We look forward to seeing you at auditions!
