OTHER DESERT CITIES
SYNOPSIS: Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after six-years to celebrate Christmas with her parents, her brother, and her aunt (Conservative Suburban Jewish Family). Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history—a wound they don’t want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it.
Brooke Wyeth (Caucasian, 30-40s) A writer. Anxious and eager to seek out the truth. She returns home after six years to visit her family in Palm Springs for Christmas.
Polly Wyeth (Caucasian, 60-70s) ROLE IS CAST. Polly is Brooke's mother. She is elegant, forthright, and whip-smart. She was a former screenwriter who worked with her sister Silda until they split up. After Hollywood, she supported her husband Lyman during his time as a politician. She is conservative, brash, and a no-nonsense type of person that will do anything to uphold her family’s image.
Lyman Wyeth (Caucasian, 60-70s) Lyman is the patriarch of the Wyeth family, an oak-like father. A Hollywood Celebrity turned conservative politician. Like his wife, he too is steadfast to upholding the family image. A master at keeping secrets. A man that seems like he has it all together, but underneath his put together demeanor, is a boiling pot that is simmering waiting for its top to burst.
Silda Grauman (Caucasian, 60-70s) She is the type of person that wears muumuus, carries a pill case marked with the days of the week and takes some pills as she talks. Struggles with alcoholism and is currently staying with Polly and her family for the Holidays. A nuisance to her sister Polly, but Silda is supportive to her niece and nephew.
Trip Wyeth (Caucasian, late 20s-30s) Brooke’s brother. He is a bright and funny man, and possibly a decade her junior. Not so much into the family’s clout or image. He has an Ivy League Degree and chooses to work as a Hollywood TV producer. While his family may think less of him because of this, his perspective about his family shows that he is wiser than he leads on.
