SHEAR MADNESS
BARBARA: (Age range 23-39.) A wise-cracking, gum-snapping, nail polishing hairdresser. Very dishy and put together, though on the cheap side.
MIKEY: (Age range 23-30.) A preppy-looking, eager-beaver who’s a capable and earnest undercover cop. Gets his hair washed and blown dry at every performance. It may need to be cut by a professional to an appropriate length.
TONY: (Age range 25-40.) The irrepressible proprietor of the Shear Madness salon. He is fun, devilish, interesting, passionate and a real character. Not jaded in any way. His “shoot from the hip” comedy endears him to all. Able to do the physical comedy easily and with great flair. Loves “playing for an audience”. He loves creating and executing merriment, and mirth.
EDDIE: (Age range: 30-45). A well-dressed, nice-looking confidence man who covers a dangerous interior with a smooth, suave, and occasionally charming exterior.
TOM O’BRIEN (Age range: 30-40). A hardworking undercover cop requiring a bright, quick thinking, personable character who can also be an excellent straight man. Not intimidated by a boisterous audience. Good looking, masculine, with a solid voice and solid skills who can learn the dynamics that will keep the investigation on track.
MRS. SHUBERT (Age range: 45-70) An old-money Washington socialite of impeccable breeding and manner. She Speaks with natural— not artificial— cultured tones. She can really turn on the charm when needed. At her finest she’s a real class act.
