An innocent would-be musical theatre writer. Jack of all trades and master of none. He’s incredibly proud of the show he wrote with Bud, and thinks Bud, whom he adores, is a genius. "GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!"
An innocent would-be musical theatre writer. Too naive to be an egomaniac. Bud enjoys getting caught up in Doug’s passion and admires his friend’s Big Ideas. "GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!"

(Bari-tenor range C3-E4, occasionally up to G4) A bachelor ice fisherman. "GUYS ON ICE"
(Baritone range A2-E4) A moocher. The kind of guy who always says the wrong thing, maybe on purpose, maybe not. In other cultures he would be a coyote or trickster. Up here he’s just a pain in the butt. Ability to play any type of hand-held instrument that can sound goofy or sentimental a plus (harmonica, ukulele, trombone, accordion, etc) "GUYS ON ICE"
(19-year-old) Linda is highly intelligent, caring, and curious. She alternates between thinking she knows everything and thinking she knows nothing. Responsible and rarely impetuous. Narrates the story directly to the audience. "INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP"
Jo juggles more plates than Cirque de Soleil. A great mom who defines multi-tasking. She's also a little more emotional and prone to outbursts than usual because, well...you’ll see. "INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP"
Terri is definitely going through a rough patch, but she is not a depressive or phlegmatic. Think Thelma Ritter or Eve Arden, with a touch of Dorothy Parker. Fast talker. "INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP"
(18+ to play 13-year-old) Becky is an unusual child. Bright and verbal. Full of energy and a crazy-huge imagination. She speaks quickly, not unlike some of the characters in the movies she loves, like "His Girl Friday." "INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP"
MIKE is loud, loyal, and single-task oriented. His definition of a father is: Breadwinner and disciplinarian. FATHER LOVETT is an old school, Catholic priest. Egotistical, imperious, and pampered. Unused to any kind of pushback from parishioners or anyone else for that matter. BETTY HECKENBACH, There is a Betty Heckenbach in everyone's life. She's right up there with death and taxes—only less fun. Played absolutely straight—no winking or flamboyance. "INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP"
