SEEKING:

George Hay - (Male, 50s) very dramatic, a slapstick type, over-the-top, strong physical comedy, including pratfalls, running, stage combat, (fencing), etc.

Charlotte Hay - (Female, 50s) She helps to run the acting troupe and plays all the leads even those for which she is a bit too old. Sometimes has upper-class British accent.

Ethel - (Female, 70s) Charlotte's mother. Grumpy, trouble-maker, hard of hearing, leading to comic misunderstandings. Has huge stage presence and strong comedic skills.

Rosalind “Roz” Hay - (Female, 20-30 years old) George and Charlotte's daughter, used to be an actress and a member of their acting troupe, but she decided that she wanted a real career, so she left - determined never to act again - or be like her parents. Able to do an upper-class British accent.

Eileen - (early 20s) is an aspiring actress, eager to please. She has a crush on George and has been having a fling with him.

Howard - (late 20s-early 30s) a weatherman and Rosalind's fiancé. He comes across as a wimp, a little annoying, nervous, and very excitable. Able to do strong physical comedy.

Paul - (late 20s-early 30s) is a member of the acting troupe, who used to be with Rosalind and still loves her and wants her back; but he is an actor first and foremost, so he wouldn't leave the troupe to be with her. Able to do strong physical comedy

Richard - (50s) He is George and Charlotte's attorney, but he is in love with Charlotte. Always trying to get her to leave George. He is wealthy and used to getting what he wants, and he is both amused and perplexed by the Hay family.
