-Tanya (30-50) A Russian ballet dancer (accent a must) who is as flamboyant as Charo and into scream therapy plays Harpo Marx at one point.
-Mrs. Caldwell (40-50+) Michael's mother from Dayton, OH; she knows how to lay on the guilt. May double as Edna.
-Edna (40-50+) Owner of Michael's apartment building; grouchy and cantankerous.
-Heather (20-30) Sweet, thin, model; an airhead. (The light is on but no one is home.)

The Show: What happens when a shy, aspiring writer from the Dayton, Ohio comes to the Big Apple to seek his fortune? For Michael Caldwell, life becomes a series of hilarious encounters with the zany residents of his ancient apartment house. Among them are Marshall Ryan, an actor who specializes in portraying vegetables; Tanya Romanov, a Russian ballerina on the lam from the KGB; and Philomena Della Vecchia, the woman of Michael's dreams - if he can just keep her quiet long enough to tell her. To retain his own sanity, Michael retreats to a fantasy world where his imagination is even more nerve-wracking than the reality surrounding him!
