DOTTIE:
60s. Margaret’s landlady. Is generous to a point; ultimately, she expects to get paid. Watches Margaret’s daughter when Margaret works.
JEAN:
40-50. Margaret’s friend. Has a blunt, hard and comic edge, but is a loyal friend.
MIKE:
40-50. A childhood friend (and old flame) of Margaret. Got out of South Boston, and is now a happy, successful doctor. At first glance, seems to have it all- plus a secret, that Margaret threatens to disclose.

1st rehearsal: June 3, 2014
Runs June 20 – July 6.
Available:
EMIL:
50. A conservative, timid funeral director, experiencing both the excitement and terror of unspoken love. But it’s all bottled up, building up in his buttoned-up demeanor.
MAC:
30s. Somewhat of a drifter, surviving by stealing jewelry off corpses. Edgy, smart and funny, she returns home for her grandmother’s funeral, to get the ring promised her.
VIRGINIA:
50-60. The recently widowed suburban wife of a wheeler-dealer contractor, who has left her in debt to the banks, her family and the mob. She must figure a way out of the horrible situation her deceased husband has put her in, and call off the dogs.

UNNECESSARY FARCE
by Paul Slade Smith
Director: Brendan Burke
1st rehearsal: June 24, 2014
Runs July 11 - August 3
All Roles available:
ERIC:
30s. A bookish, even-keeled police officer. But VERY out of his element when asked to express his feelings to a woman, lie to his boss, act in disguise, or stand up to an armed mobster.
BILLIE DWYER:
Female, 20s-30s. Excitable and non-threatening police officer, who seemingly lacks every skill necessary for police work, but is as eager to succeed as she seems destined to fail.
KAREN BROWN:
Female, 30s. An accountant with a professional, business-like demeanor, until today, when she finds herself filled with a sexual hunger, unable to keep things in control.
MAYOR MEEKLY:
Male, 50s. And innocent, affable, gentle fellow. Not the brightest bulb, but a sweet, sweet soul.
AGENT FRANK:
Male, 30s-40s. Despite presenting as a confident, gruff Head of Security (or a cool noir detective), he is, in fact, often terrified by his own shadow.
TODD:
Male, 40-50. A professional hit man who speaks with a pronounced Scottish accent, which gets more and more pronounced (in fact, indecipherable) as his anger grows, betraying his otherwise cool demeanor.
MRS. MEEKLY:
Female, 50s. The Mayor’s wife. Small in stature and unfailingly sweet, she seems the perfect match for her husband.

PAULIE:
20-30s. Boyish, attractive. Born lucky; everything is fun to Paulie. He can’t help it that women just love him. High Tenor.
