Performers Needed for "37 Postcards" Play

Avery is likable, intelligent, and a bit shy. He is easily overwhelmed by his outrageous family. He has been on a journey to try and discover who he is and where he belongs in the world. He and Gillian are engaged to be married and he is madly in love with her. But now he must introduce her to his family.

Gillian is Avery’s fiancé. She is somewhat pretentious, theatrical, and easily wooed by extravagance. In the script, she is aptly described as “a rhinestone desperate to be a diamond.” They were engaged after just two months. You get the picture.

Married to Stanford, Evelyn is a sensible, outgoing, attractive woman with a lovely disposition and a terrible memory. She can be infuriatingly positive and tends to avoid all negativity. In fact, she seems unwilling to confront any sort of reality that isn’t pleasant and appealing.

Stanford is an attractive middle-aged man. He is vibrant and extremely likable. An avid golfer, he is in remarkably good shape for his age and bounds through life with gleeful abandon. Alas, there is a dark cloud hanging above him: he is dying of leukemia. He has decided to forego aggressive treatment and enjoy his last days on his own terms.

Aunt Ester is a lovely, generous woman who shares the house with Stanford and Evelyn. She has accidentally found her way into the phone sex trade, where she enthusiastically gives her customers exactly what they pay her for. Ester is perhaps the most grounded of the folk who occupy the Sutton house.

Nana should present as quite old. She uses a walker or cane. She is hard of hearing and visually impaired. She is, however, a remarkable sight, always exquisitely dressed in every luxurious item she can get her hands on. She is dour and unpleasant and swears like a trucker.
