BREAKDOWN
Seeking:
Ethel Thayer - Ethel is Norman's wife and is several years younger than Norman. She is happy, outgoing, and content. Since they met, she has taken the rough edges off of Norman's personality. Intelligent and well grounded, she has been content to defer to Norman on many issues without losing her own identity.
Chelsea Thayer Wayne - Daughter of Norman and Ethel. Pretty, athletic and spunky, but with a nervous edginess to her. Divorced and now engaged to Billy Ray. Way down inside her, there is a young girl still seeking her father’s approval.
Charlie Martin - A big, round man with a weather-beaten face, smiling eyes and a strong Maine accent. A friend of the Thayer family that has harbored a crush on Chelsea all this time. In his rustic, simple, thoughtful way, he is quite charming.
Young Billy Ray - Thirteen years old, but precocious and worldly for his age. Billy is intelligent, but suspicious and guarded. At this point in his life, he has not spent a lot of time with his father, or any male role model. Billy recognizes that he has been passed back and forth between his parents out of necessity but has not really been raised by either of them.
Bill Ray - The dentist to whom Chelsea is engaged and father to Billy. He is becoming very satisfied with new-found changes in his life, both on personal and professional fronts.
Norman Thayer, Jr. - CAST. Norman is a retired college professor, who describes himself as being older than dirt. He is set in his ways, and hard to get along with. He has a dry wit, and he enjoys having fun at others' expense. He also uses his wit and intellect to mask his growing infirmities.
