Character Gender/Age Range Description
BECKY FOSTER (45 – 55)
Charming, funny, attractive, she is caught in an exhaustive lifestyle,
struggling with work/life balance. A generally light-hearted character
with spirit and played with some cheekiness, she looks to escape her
current life. Becky is central to the ensemble and drives the show. She
has multiple interactive fourth wall-breaking monologues. The actress
playing Becky must be willing to begin to memorize lines on being cast,
and to begin rehearsals on her monologues prior to July 15.
(Note: If you are auditioning
for Becky, we strongly recommend you prepare the monologues in
advance.)
JOE FOSTER (45 – 55) Becky’s
husband. Strong, pragmatic, loves his wife and family and is
significantly smarter than he gives himself credit for.
WALTER FLOOD (45 – 65) A
wealthy businessman. Gentle, sweet, good-hearted, and not terribly
connected to the real world. Has been lost since his wife’s death.
CHRIS FOSTER (20’s) Joe and
Becky’s son. A grad school psychology major; intelligent and
self-possessed, but also a little goofy.
KENSINGTON (KENNI) FLOOD (20’s)
Rich, cynical, brilliant. Walter’s daughter, she is dating Chris.
STEVE (40 – 55) Becky’s
coworker. Still grieving the loss of his wife in a hiking accident.
Manic, overly emotional.
GINGER (40 – 50) Walter’s
neighbor, scion of a family that has just about gone through its
long-held family wealth. Sad, funny, and smart.
