SEEKING:
Mike:
20s. Extremely bright, energetic, and articulate physics student with a love for wordplay and an edgy sense of humor. He and Cootie are the in house clowns of the urban commune they share with six other students. In a solid, loving relationship with Ruth.
Cootie:
20s. Bright, spontaneous and honest. Mike's partner in comedic crime.
Ruth:
20s. A philosophy student and the house mother of sorts of the urban commune she inhabits with six other students. Sensible and straightforward and honest (with a twist). She can hold her own with the guys.
Bob:
20s. A musician and composer. He was once a lighthearted member of the Mike/Cootie comedy team, but he's is the midst of major emotional challenges as the play begins and has retreated inside himself.
Dick:
20s. Bright but cynical with a chip on both shoulders. Trying to bed Kathy even though she is in a long term relationship with one of his housemates.
Norman:
20s but a few years older than the others. In graduate school studying mathematics. On the surface he's serious, thoughtful, bookish, shy and more conservative than his housemates. Under the surface he is searching for something to be passionate about and finds it in Shelley and in the movement against the war in Vietnam. Still waters run deep.
Shelley:
20s. A college dropout who meets and falls for Norman at an antiwar rally. She wears her neurosis on her sleeve. She is naive and insecure, but determined.
Ralph/Effing:
20s. Ralph is from a straighter, more conventional world. He yearns for a different life and is a fish out of water inside this urban commune, but desperately wants to fit in. He is selling encyclopedias and going to law school both of which he hates. Effing is a rookie cop who is earnest and very determined to be good at his job.
