WHEN HARRY MET REHAB
HARRY (45-55) White, male presenting. A life-long Chicagoan, a former comic turned sports radio host and a serious alcoholic. Harry is married, has two children and is expert at dodging responsibility and hard truths.
VINCE (45-55) Any ethnicity, male presenting. Vince is a divorced dad with two children he adores. He has a girlfriend who is loyal and constantly checking in. Vince is warm and wise. He has a huge heart which has taken a beating once too often. This is his second time at rehab.
BARB (55-70) Any ethnicity, female presenting. Barb is the therapist. She is a recovering alcoholic and heroin addict with 25 years of sobriety and a strong and vibrant life. She is tough, with a wry sense of humor and doesn’t tolerate bullshit. She has seen every kind of avoidance, recognizes all of the excuses but believes no person is a lost cause.
ANDREA (late 30s - mid 40s) Any ethnicity, female presenting. Andrea has been to rehab multiple times, she’s also been married four or five times. Her parents divorced when she was young, her mother is an active alcoholic. Childless by choice, Andrea has a dry wit, deep wounds, a self deprecating sense of humor and courage.
ISAIAH (30s) Any ethnicity, male presenting. Isaiah is whip smart and not very tolerant. A pharmacist by trade and because it makes feeding his oxy addiction easier, he is smooth and calculating. He doesn’t work to impress.
GEORGE (early 20s) Any ethnicity, male presenting. George is not in rehab by choice. From a middle class family, his father and older brother both died too early in his life and too much responsibility landed on his shoulders too soon. Now estranged from his mother and very much alone, he is goofy and lovable - if he were willing to let anyone close enough to care for him.
MALE PRESENTING UNDERSTUDY (40s – 50s) White Male. To understudy the roles of Harry and Vince.
MALE PRESENTING UNDERSTUDY (30s). Any ethnicity. To understudy the roles of Isaiah and George.
