Character Breakdown​​​​​​​

NEEDED
3 Men & 3 Women aged 18-60+ All actors must be “master memorizers” as the play’s overlapping dialog is very reminiscent of our production of COCK by Mike Bartlett. All of the “younger characters” also do some pretty awesome (or awesomeless) disco dancing.

CHARACTERS

BRAD (male 20-35): Handsome and athletic, but a little worse-for-wear, Brad has been drifting since he returned home from Vietnam. He needs a place to stay and can pretend to be gay if it means living with these two nice girls. Now he has to figure out if he’s really pretending. (Actors may be asked to appear briefly in their underwear or swimsuit at auditions or callbacks). THIS ROLE REQUIRES NUDITY.

LINDA (female 20-35): Neurotic, desperate and “definitely does not hate men in a lesbian sort of way.” She’s pretty unsure if this living arrangement will work... but what choice does she have? NOTE: This character has a VERY intimate scene akin to the “chicken leg” scene in ‘Killer Joe’. Although she is dressed, this actor needs to be VERY comfortable with onstage sexuality that has fairly “rapey” implications.

CONNIE (female 20-35): Free-spirited and pretty. Has trouble saying no to men. Fairly desperate for a date, and also desperate to pay the rent. (Actors may be asked to appear briefly in their underwear or swimsuit at auditions or callbacks). APPEARS IN A BIKINI.

MR. WICKER (male 50-60): “Mr. Roper” he’s not. He’s “OK” with a gay guy living in his complex with 2 girls, as long as the gay guy doesn’t get all gay with him. He’ll say anything if it’s politically incorrect, and he won’t fix the sink. NOTE: This character has a fairly creepy scene with Linda, which will require quite a bit of “comfortabilty” and respect to pull off appropriately.

MRS. WICKER (female 50-60+): Too much make-up, too many caftans, too many pills. Think “Mrs. Roper” if she were played by Agnes Moorehead... or Liza.

TERRY (male 20-35): Brad’s icky, leisure-suit-wearing, too-many-chicks-banging, definitely-not-gay friend. Who lives upstairs. Definitely not gay.+
