Character Breakdown

JEANNIE GARSTECKI – 35-45 years old. Jeannie has lived in a trailer at Armadillo Acres for 20 years with her husband and high school sweetheart, Norbert. A faded beauty, she was 17 when she married, 18 when her son was born and 23 when he got kidnapped. That, coupled with a really bad perm, has turned her into an agoraphobic. She hasn’t left her trailer in all these years, and the man she loves is drifting further and further away and she’s determined to get him back… that is, if she could manage to get out of the trailer to do it.

NORBERT GARSTECKI – 35-45 years old. Jeannie’s husband Norbert collects tolls for a living and tries to be as good a husband as one can be to an agoraphobic. A former high school football star, he has rugged good looks marred by fatigue and the stress of his difficult marriage. He is a simple man who desperately wishes his wife could get out of the trailer, but he’s not equipped with the emotional or intellectual tools to help her do it. He has never loved or slept with a woman other than Jeannie. That is until he meets Pippi.

PIPPI – 28-35 years old. Pippi is a striking beauty with a great body and a taste for clothing that shows it off. Up to this point, Pippi’s life has been about surviving. She is a professional stripper who has gotten by on her looks and talents for dancing and petty theft. She means no harm and is ready to stop making bad choices and start making changes, but first she has to get lost in a hick-town trailer park in North Florida so she won’t be found by her last bad choice.

DUKE – 24-28 years old. Duke is Pippi’s obsessive, possessive and excessive Magic Marker-sniffing boyfriend – “ex”-boyfriend, according to Pippi. Not so, according to Duke. Not the brightest guy south of the Mason-Dixon Line, Duke leaves a trail of disaster in his wake wherever he goes. His road trip to Starke is no exception and his arrival at the trailer park is full of surprises – even for a group of people who have had their share of excitement.

BETTY – 38-50-something. Betty attended high school with Norbert and Jeannie Garstecki and has lived at Armadillo Acres for just as long. She now runs the leasing office and makes it her business to know everything about everybody who passes through the trailer park. Though a self-proclaimed “bad-ass,” Betty is really a mother hen to the denizens of the trailer park. Of all “The Girls,” Betty is the most grounded, earthy and dry.

LINOLEUM “LIN” – 30s. So named because her mother gave birth to her on the kitchen floor, Linoleum has a husband on death row at the Florida State Prison. His fate is an electric chair that doesn’t work properly unless most of the town’s electricity is turned off. So Lin watches everyone’s lights and appliances very closely in the hopes that she can keep the chair on the fritz. Sometimes self-absorbed and sometimes just a smart-ass, she hints at a wild, rock-and-roll past and is the fieriest of “The Girls.”

Audition Materials

Please prepare at least 2 of these sides for your audition. You may be asked to read more than for your audition or callbacks. These do not need to be memorized for the audition, but please be familiar with your chosen sides.

The “Muses” refer to Betty, Lin, and Pickles as a group. They are storytellers who travel as a pack. The Duke/Pickles side can be used as an audition for any of the Muses.

Salary

$50 per performance show pay plus tips during performance pooled with cast and Director.

Notes

Costuming for this production will be collaborative with drag performers, cast, and creative team.
