DAPHNEY - is Ace’s eccentrically sassy and quick-witted best friend of 15 years. She’ll protect him at all costs. A proficient violinist, mandolin or piano player with great pop-soul vocals. Mid-late 20-30s. Any and every ethnicity encouraged.
POP POP BEAU - Ace’s grandfather and Raven’s father. He’s a gruff wise ass, full of intrusive questions and inappropriate jokes. Beau is very good at carrying secrets.

RAVEN - Ace’s single mother. She’s a force of a woman and doesn’t take sh*t from anyone. She doesn’t need a man, but wants one.

Any and every ethnicity encouraged.

NURSE/KARINA/LE-ANN - Nurse, is Beau’s nurse throughout the play. Karina is Ferris’s high-school girlfriend. She’s a bigoted mean-girl and Ace’s worst nightmare. Le-Ann is Beau’s wife.
