SYNOPSIS: Set in 1973, this play is a wild and tender comedy that focuses on the cash strapped O’Shea family and especially their 19-year-old daughter Linda, whose gift for storytelling turns into a crisis of biblical proportions!
Linda O’Shea (Female, 19 years old) Linda is highly intelligent, caring, and curious. She alternates between thinking that she knows everything and thinking that she knows nothing. Responsible, practical, and rarely impetuous.
Josephine ‘Jo’ O’Shea (Female, late 40s early 50s) Jo juggles more plates than Cirque du Soleil. A great mom who defines multi-tasking. She is also a little more emotional and prone to outbursts than usual for a variety of reasons.
Theresa ‘Terri’ Carmichael (Female, late 50s) Terri is definitely going through a rough patch, but she is not a depressive. She is funny, sarcastic, and hides her feelings with her quick wit.
Becky O’Shea (Female, 13 years old) Becky is an unusual child. Bright and verbal – full of energy and a huge imagination. She speaks quickly, like the characters in the black and white movies that she loves, like “His Girl Friday”.
Mike O’Shea (50s)/Father Lovett (50s)/Betty Heckenbach (50s)
Mike O’Shea: Mike is loud, loyal, and single task oriented. His definition of father is: Breadwinner and disciplinarian. Lousy listener.
Father Lovett: an old school Catholic priest. Egotistical, imperious, and pampered. Unused to any kind of pushback from parishioners or anyone else for that matter.
Betty Heckenbach: a homely, judgmental, middle-aged woman who is always sticking her nose into other people’s business.
