Seeking (note: two Equity Special Appearance contracts are available (AEA approval pending)):

Artie Shaughnessy:

45-50. Zookeeper and would-be songwriter. Obsessed by a need to be famous; fears that it may be too late for him. Looks to Bunny for the support Bananas is too sick to give, but still has a soft spot for his wife. Must be able to play piano and sing.

Billy Einhorn:

45-50. Artie's childhood best friend. Has also known Bananas for many years, and gave her that nickname. Now a famous Hollywood movie director, and involved in a romantic relationship with Corrinna.

Bunny Flingus:

40-45. Artie's girlfriend and downstairs neighbor. Bright and upbeat. Very supportive of Artie's musical ambitions. Tries to control Artie's life, and takes every opportunity to express her jealousy of Bananas. Yet at the first chance she gets—Billy's offer to move to Australia—she dumps Artie for a new, more exciting life.

Corrinna Stroller:

20-30. Glamorous actress. Involved with Billy. Now deaf because of an accident.

Ronnie Shaughnessy:

18. Artie’s sullen, recently drafted son, who has his own plans for becoming famous. Tall, thin. Has a scary intensity.

Three Nuns:

Various ages. Wacky and spunky. Very excited to see the Pope.

MP:

25-40. Big army policeman.
