Christopher's mother, estranged from her husband Ed, a working class woman with a tough exterior, blames herself for her inability to copy with Christopher effectively.

Violet, 40+ (Alto) Any ethnicity. Strong, Ambitious. The company’s Head Secretary; she is smart and efficient, a single, working mom; she stands up for what she believes in. Hart’s right-hand woman. Frustrated but not bitter. Career-hopeful and quick witted.

Joe, 25-30 (High Baritone) Any ethnicity. A handsome young, office accountant, genuine & nice, smitten with Violet and won’t take no for an answer
