CLAUDIA: Precocious, sensitive girl. Able to move gracefully between the innocence of youth and the wisdom of the narrator who has lived through it all. Dexterity with direct address.
FRIEDA/DARLENE: Claudia’s older sister. Somewhat more practical than Claudia. Possibly more stern, slightly less personable.
PECOLA: A shy, quiet, resigned and somewhat pained presence. She should be completely innocent. We must love her and want to take care of her, but not pity her. Perhaps there is a certain quiet pride that won’t let us tip over into pity. She has very dark brown skin.
MAMA: She possesses an imposing presence. She loves her children and this should be evident despite her stern manner.
MRS. BREEDLOVE: An older version of Pecola, also dark brown. Painfully shy and insecure, and still very adept at addressing the audience.
DADDY/SOAPHEAD CHURCH: Charismatic, odd, charming, mature.
CHOLLY: Mrs. Breedlove’s age, the shell of a man who may have been physically impressive at one time, dark brown complexion.
MAUREEN PEAL/WHITE GIRL: Light skinned, very pretty. More complicated than merely “snotty.” She is a real person, as complicated as the other characters.
Note: The children are played by adults. Women 1, 2 and 3 can be played by any of the women available.
