NOBERT GARSTECKIMale35-45 y.o.All ethnicities

DUKEMale20-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Rock tenor Duke is Pippi’s obsessive, possessive and excessive Magic Marker–sniffing boyfriend; “ex”-boyfriend according to Pippi. Not so, according to Duke.

His road trip to Starke is no exception and his arrival at the trailer park is full of surprises — even for a group of people who have had their share of excitement …

BETTYFemale38-50 y.o.All ethnicities

Something Alto Betty attended high school with Norbert and Jeannie Garstecki and has lived at Armadillo Acres for just as long. She now runs the leasing office and makes it her business to know everything about everybody who passes through the trailer park. Betty is really a mother hen to the denizens of the trailer park. Of all “The Girls,” Betty is the most grounded.

LINOLEUM “LIN”Male30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Mid-range belt So-named because her mother gave birth to her on the kitchen floor, Linoleum has a husband on death row at the Florida State Prison. His fate is an electric chair that doesn’t work properly unless most of the town’s electricity is turned off. So Lin watches everyone’s lights and appliances very closely in the hopes that she can keep the chair on the fritz.

DONNA “PICKLES”Female18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

Mezzo with mix A newlywed, Donna is called “Pickles” because she is perpetually hysterically pregnant — that is, she’s so convinced she should be pregnant she’s exhibiting symptoms. Her husband is a lot fancier than she is, as he is from the big city of Jacksonville. Pickles is desperate to give her husband a family of his own — even if she has to fake it. The dimmest of “The Girls,” Pickles is airy, sweet and blissfully ignorant.
