Seeking (all roles are available):
Ben:
35-40. Married to Mary. Raised in the United States, somewhere inland: Kansas City, maybe Denver. Worked at one bank for five years and another bank for six years. Recently laid off from his job. Easygoing. Dependable. A clean-haircut kind of guy.
Mary:
35-40. Married to Ben. Raised in the United States, somewhere inland: Kansas City, maybe Denver. Met Ben after college, when they were both working, at a happy hour. Paralegal at a small-to-mid-sized law firm. High-strung. Wants to be more adventurous than she is.
Kenny:
30-40. Raised in several cities in California until he was 12 or 13 and his parents finally split up and he moved to Omaha with his mom. Now works as a warehouse manager. Fresh out of major substance abuse rehab. Mischievous. Always the party-starter. Charismatic, but hiding it at the top of the play because he's trying to fit in. Trying to be hopeful.
Sharon:
27 - early 30s. Raised in Tucson, AZ until she was 9; then she and her mother moved to Columbus, OH for two years and then to Indianapolis, where she went to high school. In her junior year, her mother moved back to Arizona with her boyfriend, and Sharon lived with her best friend to finish school. Now, Sharon works at a phone bank, answering customer-service calls. Fresh out of major substance abuse rehab. Easygoing. A conversation-starter. An honest communicator. Genuinely hopeful. Somehow always smells trouble and is drawn, almost naïvely, to it.
Frank:
70s - early 80s. An “old timer” who once lived in the neighborhood. But he’s spry, the kind of man who’s been fixing his roof and rewiring the electricity on his house and taking care of his impeccable lawn for many years. Sweet yet stern. He’s seen a lot in his time.
