Seeking (all roles are available (i.e. not yet offered and accepted)):

Melody:

Mid 20s. Young wife. Vivacious, naïve, a bit doe-eyed but not stupid, just sheltered. Prone to bouts of youthful petulance/selfishness, but with a big heart that she's just learning how to use.

Craig:

Late 20s – early 30s. Melody’s slightly older husband. Has a responsible, adult job in business. Genuinely good guy. Lovable, simple, stable. Very honest. Very organized.

Brad:

Mid - late 20s. Craig’s friend and co-worker. Attractive (maybe even hot), magnetic. His deep capacity for compassion sometimes leads him to get caught up in the drama of his (not insincere) feelings.

Hope:

Mid 50s. Craig’s well-put-together single mother, a window since ‘82. A bit stoic; not necessarily cold, but fairly rigid. Doesn't like it when rules/protocol aren't followed. Proper, deeply damaged, in need of solace.
