Season's Greetings by Alan Ayckbourn. Dir: Nora Hussey with Shelley Bolman. 1st reh: 12/14/11. Runs 1/5 – 1/29/12.
Clive:
AVAILABLE ROLE. Man, late 20s. The visiting writer. Has a shy, pleasant manner.
The following roles are cast. Auditioning performers will be considered as possible (emergency) replacements, should any become necessary.
Neville:
CAST. 30s. Easygoing. Uses hobbies to avoid domestic entanglement.
Belinda:
CAST. Early 30s. Attractive. Does her best to be cheerful, even though life has lost its luster just a bit.
Phyllis:
CAST. Neville’s sister. Has a drinking problem, but insists on cooking the holiday dinner, which is a cause for alarm early in the proceedings.
Bernard:
CAST. A doctor. Phyllis’s long-suffering husband. His amateur puppetry is a trial at every holiday...but he carries on.
Harvey:
CAST. 60s. Neville and Phyllis’s uncle. A bit short-tempered. Believes guns and weapons are excellent toys for children. Has a military air.
Patty:
CAST. About 30. Seven months pregnant with her fourth child. Married to Eddie, who has realized that family life can and often does squeeze the will to live right out of a man.
Rachel:
CAST. Belinda’s older sister, and definitely more on the anxious side. She is bringing home the only unknown to this gathering, and it is stressful for her and others.

All roles have been cast. Auditioning performers will be considered as possible (emergency) replacements, should any become necessary.

Joyce:
CAST. 22. Younger flighty sister.
Peggy (Mam):
CAST. Mother of the family. Religious zealot, given to flights of fancy regarding religious statues.
George:
CAST. Piano-playing, irreverent father of the brood. Hides behind his own versions of events.
Eric:
CAST. Young 20s. Soldier. Not the brightest crayon in the box.
Norman:
CAST. Thoughtful, sensitive and often charming…unfortunately, he is hiding a secret from Helen for part of the play.
Andy:
CAST. Quirky, cat-loving eccentric. Finds his way through the family dynamics.
