Breakdown

SEEKING:

HOLLY GOLD:

LENNY GOLD:
Holly’s father—must be able to play late 70's/early 80’s. A scientist who owns a quality control chemical laboratory. He is hard of hearing, stubborn, easily angered/explosive, and somewhat bi-polar. Funny without meaning to be.

BLOSSOM GOLD:
Holly’s mother—must be able to play late 70's/early 80’s. A retired town manager who has a memory problem and a clothing fetish. Bird-like quality, nervous, lovable.

FERN GOLD-DUMAS:
Holly’s older sister, early 50’s. An attorney who out of self-preservation emotionally bolted from the family years ago. Type A personality, dry sense of humor, ability to change.

SUSAN ANDERSON:
A social worker from a local senior citizen agency. 30s – early 40s. Sweet demeanor, eager to please, yet goes by the book.
