PETER: (Male, Plays 30-40 yrs old) Susan's husband. The perfect husband and ex-husband. He is very liberal in his view of relationships. (Range: A2 – B4)

JOANNE AND LARRY – She pushes love away, he refuses to leave:
JOANNE: (Female, Plays 40-50 yrs old) Acerbic, demanding, and blunt. Too old to be part of the young crowd, but not old enough to be part of the older crowd. Sharp-tongued broad whose drunken scorn for others is matched only by her self-contempt, melts when she is alone with her husband. (Range: G3 – B5)
LARRY: (Male, Plays 45-55 yrs old) Joanne’s husband. He is stoic and centered, but has moments of goofiness. Indulges his wife’s behavior but knows when to put his foot down. (Range: B2 – A4)
