Ezekial Foster: (mid 40s to late 50s) Male identifying. The ultimate taciturn New Englander who helps out at the inn and takes life at a very slow pace; definitely has a wry sense of humor. Baritone

Rita: Bob and Phil’s one of two star chorus girls. They are brash, sexy, and fun, although perhaps not the smartest.
Rhoda: Bob and Phil’s one of two star chorus girls. They are brash, sexy, and fun, although perhaps not the smartest.
