Seeking, for possible future onstage and understudy replacements in the currently running Broadway production:

Brooke Wyeth:

Woman, 40s. Once-promising novelist. Attractive, intelligent, dry, fiercely independent. Returns after an absence of six years to her parents’ Palm Springs, CA home for a Christmas visit. The years subsequent to her initial success have been marred by hardships: a failed marriage, writer’s block and a nervous breakdown. Now that she is restored to good health and on a seemingly even keel, the ulterior motive for her visit is revealed when Brooke announces to her parents that her second book is about to be published.

Polly Wyeth:

Woman, 60s. Old-guard California Republican. Elegant, stylish, smart. Speaks frankly, and intimidates those who show any form of weakness or resistance to her way of doing things. Brilliant, with a sharp tongue; she can be very cutting. Fiercely committed to her beliefs, she greatly values the standing and reputation she and her husband have achieved politically and socially.

Lyman Wyeth:

Man, late 60s. Polly’s husband and Brooke and Trip’s father. Old-guard California Republican, and political protégé of Ronald Reagan. A former actor turned politician, he’s a warm and charming man, attractive, smooth and self-confident, who holds true to his beliefs. Likes to see the good in people. Loves his family deeply, and has always been fiercely devoted to keeping them together.

Silda Grauman:

Woman, 60s. Polly’s sister and former screenwriting partner. Recovering alcoholic; comes to terms with her disease using charm, sarcasm and a sharp sense of humor. She too speaks her mind, but is not as concerned as her sister is with making a good impression. After being released from her most recent stint in rehab, she comes to stay with Polly and Lyman until she’s able to get back on her feet.

Trip Wyeth:

Man, early 30s. Lyman and Polly's youngest child, a successful television producer. Attractive, playful, with a good sense of humor. Projects a sense of optimism and a desire to lead an emotionally uncomplicated life. A generation younger than Brooke, his childhood with his parents was easier than hers.
