Seeking:
Dean Wreen, née Cindy:
40s-50s. Academic soft-butch: loafers, pleated pants, blazer. She has spent her career at the same small college in New England. Once a scholar, she has chosen a certain comfort, moving into administration and fundraising. Great facility with language and rhetoric: she becomes radiant with the pleasure of complaint. She has known Greer for 20 years and lived with her for 15; her new girlfriend is Andromeda, a former student.
Greer, née Gail:
40s – 50s. Intellectual femme meets LL Bean practical. A professor of philosophy, she exudes a steady, cynical calm. She has been fighting cancer; it recently came back. While undergoing treatment, she has moved back in with her ex-girlfriend, Dean Wreen.
Andromeda, née Andrea:
20s. Any ethnicity. Dean Wreen’s former student and now her girlfriend. She studied anthro and women’s and gender studies and is now a yogini. Friendly, open, sincere, spiritual, and physical, it’s hard not to fall in love with her.
Early Man 1:
Male, Early 20s. Any ethnicity. At first glance, a Neanderthal in a small-town museum diorama, but there is something funny about him: he’s sort of Paleolithic and sort of contemporary at the same time—an early hominid from a suburban rec room. When he speaks, it is in the easy, contemporary voice of various young college students. Early 20s. MUST BE ABLE TO CREATE SEVERAL CHARACTERS USING ONLY HIS VOICE AS HE WILL BE HOLDING A POSE THROUGHOUT HIS SCENES.
Early Man 2:
Female, Early 20s. Any ethnicity. At first glance, a Neanderthal in a small-town museum diorama, but there is something funny about her: she’s sort of Paleolithic and sort of contemporary at the same time—an early hominid from a suburban rec room. When she speaks, it is in the easy, contemporary voice of various young college students. MUST BE ABLE TO CREATE SEVERAL CHARACTERS USING ONLY HER VOICE AS SHE WILL BE HOLDING A POSE THROUGHOUT HER SCENES.
Caretaker:
60s – 70s. Any ethnicity. The guardian and long-time custodian of a small college’s small natural history museum. He has had his job forever, making his appointed rounds and never missing a day of work. He does crossword puzzles and carries a flask. Though his routine is what one would expect, when he speaks he channels the voice of the local newspaper, which is a somewhat 'other-worldly' event in the play. Very dry.
