Main characters: Puppet Characters Puppet Characters ages are an indication of the puppet age in the show. Not necessarily the age of the actual puppeteer.
Princeton (early 20’s) One rod puppet. A fresh-faced kid just out of college. He is looking for his “purpose” in life and is pursuing a career, love and life satisfaction. He is a little naïve to the realities of life, as most people are at that age. Bb2 – G4 Tenor.
Kate Monster (mid 20’s) One rod puppet. A kindergarten teaching assistant, a bit older than Princeton. She is kind, considerate but can have a feisty side. “She’s not weak and she's definitely not a generic ingenue who gets all swoony and dizzy when it comes to matters of the heart.” F#3 – F5 Soprano (Mezzo)
Nicky (20’s) Live hands puppet. A bit of a slacker, who lives with Rod. They are best friends but have a fiery relationship and can often be found arguing. B2-B4
Rod (20’s/30’s) Two rod puppet. A Republican investment banker with a secret... he is struggling with coming to terms with his homosexuality. He comes out over the course of the show. “Rod carries a huge amount of the heart of the show. The actor playing him can have a ball even with the responsibility with keeping him true.” A2-G4 Tenor
Trekkie Monster (20’s/30’s) Live hands puppet. Reclusive creature obsessed by the internet. Although he appears abrupt and rude, a sensitive side is revealed during the show. He has a “Cookie Monster” growl to his voice which would need to be maintained. Bb2-F#4 Baritone.
Lucy (20’s/30’s) Two rod puppet. A vixenish vamp with a dangerous edge. She has starred in “Girls Gone Wild: Parts 2,5 and 7”. During the show she seduces Princeton which causes a showdown with Kate. F3-D5. Alto (BELT)
The Bad Idea Bears (1 x Male, 1 x Female) Two rod puppets. Two Snuggly, cute teddy-bear types who convince people to do bad things!! “The bears always work better when they&rsdquo;re cute cute cute and positive. Diabetes inducing sweet.” Male – Baritone, Female-Mezzo.
Mrs T. (Ancient) Live hands puppet. Kate’s boss. She is cranky and bossy.
Human Characters Brian (early 30’s) A laid back guy married to Christmas Eve. Unemployed but dreams of becoming a famous “smutty” comedian. “Calling a character ‘ordinary’ is never helpful for any actor… but Brian does live in a relaxed, easy-come, easy-go world.” B2–F#4. Baritone
Christmas Eve (20’s/30’s/40’s) A therapist who has moved here from Japan. Wears the trousers in her relationship with Brian. “She’s super smart. If you go for the easy stereotype the audience won’t find her funny after about eight minutes.” B3-F#5. Soprano.
Gary Coleman Yes, that Gary Coleman. He lives on the Avenue, too! He’s the superintendent. He is a washed up Z-list celebrity who has had a public personal life. The part can be played by a black male / female. D2-Bb4/D3 – Bb5* Tenor/Alto (Belt) *Main range alto, top Bb appears once as part of a riff
