Seeking (all roles are available):

Alan:

30. The voice (and stand-in) for the author, working through a painful, troubled and confusing time from his childhood. Plays himself at age 30 and himself at age 17, when the main action of the play takes place. Thin and light (though does not have to be blond). Enthusiastic and pensive. Can speak very quickly. Often has a dark sense of humor. Sensitive.

Ronnie:

Woman, late 30s–40s. Alan’s stepmother and Douglas’s wife. Attractive. Possesses a good deal of taste and poise. Grounded and realistic. May at first appear as a vapid Californian, but we soon discover her to be the most centered person in the play

Penny:

Seeking actress 18+ to play 17. Ward of the state, living with Douglas and Ronnie. “Slow and dull moving and almost heartbreakingly unattractive.” Innocent. A good girl who wants the American Dream. Vulnerable.

Carol:

Seeking actress 18+ to play 17. Ward of the state, living with Douglas and Ronnie. “Tall, very thin, and smashingly attractive and quite a wreck.” Wry sense of humor. Worldly for her years. Secretive. Hell-raiser/drug addict trying to toe the line. Self-destructive. Huge flirt who usually gets the man she wants.

Jerry:

Boy, 12-14. Ronnie and Douglas’s son. Smart and precocious. Acts like a little adult. Asthmatic. Has his father’s smarts.

Jack:

Boy, 8-12. Ronnie and Douglas’s son. Blond, energetic, beautiful. Attaches himself quickly and deeply to people.

Douglas:

Update, posted 7/13/11: Role previously listed as available is now CAST. Auditioning performers will be considered as possible (emergency) replacements, should any become necessary. Man, 45. Alan’s estranged father. Strong. Oddly romantic. Childish and dogmatic, with great energy. A magnetic presence that can turn ugly when faced with the unexpected. Traditional, masculine and rigid. Working class.
