Directed by Jessica Robblee
1st Rehearsal: August 11, 2025
Performances: September 11-28, 2025 (Denver) and October 2-26, 2025 (Boulder)
Hilda: a woman in her 30s-40s, a quiet observer by habit – having been told she tends to share too much, an ordinary mouse whose depths can sneak up on you, a seeker longing to know what’s true, her memories are visceral and her perceptiveness exceptional, she has an aptitude for connecting extraordinarily with forces others do not perceive.
Linda: a woman in her 40s-60s, a working-class Brit who lives in America because her work as a psychic doesn’t pass muster with employment authorities back home, charismatic and intuitive, salt-of-the-earth armchair entertainer who does what’s necessary to get by.
Jerry: a man in his 40s-50s, Linda’s younger cousin who runs in political circles and travels the world, a raconteur whose stories try to hold the room’s attention but don’t always, bucks popular points of view.
Sylvia: a well-heeled woman in her 40s-60s, a good friend of Linda’s though their relationship can get tempestuous, a liberal, questioning socialite, when in crisis, she has leaned on Linda for paranormal input.
Directed by Jessica Robblee
1st Rehearsal: November 3, 2025
Shows: December 4-28, 2025 (Boulder)
Narrator: They carry this show with a great deal of scripted text and a readiness to improvise in response to audience members’ reactions during the show. This person is honest, present, funny, vulnerable, excellent at crowd work (direct address, playing with audience members as scene partners and collaborators on the fly, helping audience members be at ease, riffing off of in-the-moment circumstances as they arise, being the guide for the audience as they make their way through the show). The Narrator can be played by a woman or a man of any age or ethnicity.
Directed by Allison Watrous
1st Rehearsal: December 29, 2025
Performances: January 29-February 15, 2026 (Denver) and February 19-March 15, 2026 (Boulder)
Trish: a woman in her 40s or so, eldest of three sisters, nearing the end of her life due to late-stage cancer, in and out of lucidity, conversation by turns deals with the everyday and the gigantic, has held onto her sense of humor, a mother.
Suzie: a woman in her 40s, the middle sister, a force to be reckoned with, a decision-maker who can dominate a to-do list, mother of a six-year-old in need of a solution, because she too has a cancer diagnosis.
Fran: a woman in her 30s-40s, tough talking and outspoken, holds cynicism and great love, has a strong point of view but doubts herself, she loves her sisters deeply but is figuring out what that connection means, she would never claim to have her life together and yet she’s determined to craft the life she wants, a woman at a crossroads.
Owen: a man in his 40s-50s, owner of a Brooklyn laundry, life has thrown him some curveballs -- a broken engagement, injuries from a car accident, he’s relatively positive, outspoken and comes with some rough edges but he has a squishy center, wants love and is scared of being left.
