DOC COLEMAN - CAST

DELIA COLEMAN - CAST

MELANIE COLEMAN - CAST

RYAN

Early thirties. A charming and annoying bohemian narcissist. His attention span is short but focused. Aspires to a writer's triumphs and pain more than to just being a writer. Witty, passionate and clueless he tries to grapple with eternal ideas and usually ends up with notions. Likes everyone he meets, especially Courtney's family.
 

COURTNEY COLEMAN

Late 20's early 30's. A gifted writer who's attractive, talented, committed and highly competitive (mostly with herself). Having recently fled a life of bohemian struggle with Ryan in New York she's currently deluded by the fantasy of a storybook marriage to Harper in affluent, suburban Ohio.
 

P.B. COLEMAN

Adult actress to play 16 year old, The youngest  daughter of Doc and Delia Coleman. Precocious and smart she's unable to escape the emotional chaos of her eccentric, off-center family while struggling to organize the vagaries of post-puberty. She's an idealistic young Republican who believes in orderliness and loud rock n' roll. Likes to dance.

HARPER

A former mid-western preppie now in his thirties. A good-looking, well spoken wasp he is a princely catch among the country club set. He's making a career out of graduate school and is delighted at the prospect of having a wife with one or two of her own ideas. His personality is predictable yet quirky.
