* World premieres
Outdoor Summer Season:
HELL'S BELGIANS*
LEO DEWARZEGER – A big-bellied Belgian farmer, more fond of beer, cheese curds, and talking than working on the farm.
ROGER DEWARZEGER - A hardworking, tightly-wound Belgian farmer and Leo’s brother. HENRY - The Dewarzegers’ handyman, possesses a simple, yet powerful, childlike innocence.
ANGELIQUE (SMIRCH)- An awkward, low-level angel who aspires to more, forgets her identity and plays the role of an imp for a while. Speaks in a light, comic French accent.
FARMAGEDDON - The demon in charge of Agricultural Hell.
MILDRED - A baby chick/chicken of dark and mysterious origin. Other actors interact with Mildred in “space” while she is voiced by a visible actor on a microphone sitting at a table to one side. This actor will also handle sound effects, as well as tossing various props into the action, opening door for Mildred, etc.
VARIOUS OTHERWORLDLY VOICES - Unseen characters in Heaven and Hell, voiced by actor who plays Mildred. This actor also voices “Kenny”.

Josephine Delvaux - a neighbor of the Dewarzegers whom Roger fancies

GIRLS ON SAND*
present day
GRACE - Energetic and frantic, she can never quite get settled. Often stuck in a loop of negativity. She's in desperate need of her beach day. A writer in search of her worth through everyone but herself.
ZOEY - The mindful Zen friend, full of gratitudes, seemingly in control of everything. She loves a good groaner joke. In denial that she needs to face her greatest fear.
DEBBIE - If wisdom was a person, it'd be bottled up in her unique personality. She's older than Zoey and Grace. You're friendly neighborhood extravert.
Fall Season:
REALITY TRIP*
present day
Olivia – (30s) An eternal optimist eager to reconnect with her best college pals on vacation.
Holly – (30s) A frazzled married mom who runs her own craft business, she is overwhelmed by the constant demands of her hectic life.
