Seeking (all roles are available):
Catherine:
37-41. Attractive, highly successful academic grappling with old yearnings and new regrets. Ever poised and competent, a new vulnerability is peeking through. Smart, subtly sexy, soft-spoken. This is a steady, successful overachiever finding herself unmoored at midlife by the prospects of love and loss.
Gwen:
37-41. Married to Don. Has adopted a can-do, bright and positive cheerleader personality to stave off darkness, fear, and the wish to drink (she’s been sober for 15 years). Pretty and winning stay-at-home mom with reserves of anger and frustration she struggles to suppress.
Don:
37-41. Married to Gwen. Super smart, charismatic and sexy underachiever. An academic who could have achieved so much more; a golden boy who just didn’t work hard enough. At 40, he’s cultivated a languid, mellow, “it’s all good” personality to mask frustration and disappointment.
Alice:
70s. Catherine’s mother. Sweet and gentle, Alice was a stay-at-home mother devoted to her daughter almost to the point of obsession. Dedicated homemaker who chose not to think too deeply and keep everything happy and nice. Now a widow facing her mortality, Alice is asking questions, examining her past for the first time and finding her discoveries exhilarating.
Avery:
Woman, 20. Cute, bright, energetic, and utterly confident, Avery has her future all figured out. On the brink of entering the adult world, she has the poise and vigor of one who hasn’t been disappointed yet. Aggressively striving to succeed and happy to argue down anyone who opposes her. A little bit of disappointment will soon soften her and reveal reserves of compassion underneath.
