5 roles
The family matriarch. Strong-willed, devout, and often overbearing, Ruthie tries hard to control the world around her, especially her children. Deeply loving beneath her tough exterior.
The peacekeeping patriarch. Easygoing, kind, and devoted to his family. Supports his wife and kids through thick and thin, though he often lives in Ruthie’s shadow.
The eldest son. A former football hero and wannabe entrepreneur, always chasing the next big thing. Charismatic and stylish, but not always wise.
The middle child and only daughter. A struggling actress with a fierce spirit and a complicated relationship with her mother. Creative, independent, and emotionally honest.
The youngest son. A sincere, warm, and faith-driven man studying for the priesthood. Known as the “good son,” but his path—like everyone’s—takes unexpected turns.
