In this production, the adult cast size will be reduced down to a 13-person cast with actors required to double roles. All roles will be played by talent 18-years-old and older.

Characters:

JILLIAN: (She/her, 30s) The youngest of the four Webb sisters. She is the one who stayed at home after the other girls grew up and moved away for various reasons. She's been the main caretaker for their mother, who's dying of cancer, and she carries a lot of emotional responsibility for their mother into that reunion. The most sensitive and hopeful of the sisters. She has taken on the burden of the youngest female child -- stayed home, took care of mom, didn’t marry, watched the town around her die.

PENNY: (She/her, 40s) Of Carribean heritage. Nurse, caring but practical. Doubles as BIDDY - (50s) Maid / North British accent.

MR. POTTS: (He/him, 50s) Piano Tuner. Doubles as LUTHER ST. JOHN - (40s) American. Talent manager, scout, and producer who claims to have his finger on the pulse of popular music and a roster of famous names. He takes advantage of his position when the opportunity arises.

RUBY: (She/her, 30s) She's the second youngest. She adores her older sister, Joan, who went off to America to cut a record and become a singer. She's completely mythologized it. She comes across as energetic and makes jokes but you learn as the play goes on, that costs her quite a lot and she can't hold it all in. The most practical of the sisters. She knows who she is, what she has, and what her lot in life is. She can’t bring herself to go into her dying mother’s room. Doubles as MRS. SMITH - (30) Guest at the Sea View, not her real name – a tryst with MR. SMITH.

TONY: (He/him, 14) Teenaged son of Gloria and Bill, in the midst of everything that teenage means – don’t call him Anthony. Also plays MR. SMITH - (40) Guest at the Sea View, not his real name – a tryst. Also plays MR. HALLIWELL - (40) A boarder at the Sea View who likes shortcuts.

BILL: (He/him, 40s) Working class, northern England family man: he is the down-trodden husband of Gloria and father of Tony and Patty. Also plays JOE FOGG (50s) Lodger / The alcoholic piano player who can’t seem to catch a break.

GLORIA: (She/her, 30s) The second eldest of the Webb girls. When we meet her, she is furious at having to be called back to her mother's deathbed — and furious that one of her sisters hasn't turned up. The embittered oldest of the daughters. GLORIA was hurt by her mother in her early teens and has never recovered, often taking out her hurt and anger on those around her.

DENNIS: (He/him, 40s) Working class, northern England family man: he is the husband of Ruby, rumpled, sun-burnt, indescribably dull, prone to argue when drunk. Also plays JACK LARKIN (30-40s) Fancies himself a performer and comedian and is well-loved by guests and residents of the Sea View, he is always short on money and three months behind on rent.

JOAN: (She/her, Late 30s) The only one of the sisters who went on to actually pursue that dream. The one daughter who gets away to America to find a career. She has been fully Americanized, including her accent, and is hesitant to return to her mother and her sisters. Able to sing and light piano skills a plus. Also plays

VERONICA (late 30s) Veronica in the 1950s. She is the mother of these four girls, and she has big dreams for them to [be] an all-singing, all-dancing, Andrews Sisters-style act that might hopefully take off to America someday, where they'll become big stars. Working class British, is the hardworking owner of the failing Sea View. She will do anything for her daughters to succeed as a musical act.

YOUNG JILL: (She/her, 12) Loves singing and dancing; there's not much seriousness. She's quite introverted when she's a child, and she grows up to be able to speak for herself. She loves a good crossword and loves her sisters.

YOUNG RUBY: (She/her, 13) A bundle of joy, full of love, full of life, and she exerts happiness wherever she goes. Doubles as PATTY - (13) Teenaged daughter of Gloria and Bill, she lives to torment her brother, restless, excited.

YOUNG GLORIA: (She/her, 14) She is very passionate and quite insecure. She gets changed a lot by what happens in the play, and she spends the play in pursuit of love from her mother and her family.

YOUNG JOAN: (She/her, 15) She is the cool, somewhat rebellious older sister of the group. She is confident and carefree and a leader among her sisters. Cares deeply about her family although it may not always seem that way. If Veronica were to have a favorite daughter, it would be Joan.
