Casting Performers for "All Out For Christmas" Play

(b. 1898- 49 years old) A faded Broadway star visiting Argyle, IN from NYC to do this show as a favor to her friend Jack…an old paramour. She has a reputation for being difficult…a classic diva. But at heart, she cares about her craft, and her hometown, and the people she loves.

(b. 1895- 52) The owner of the radio station. If he doesn’t score a big hit with this Christmas show, he could lose the station. And Dorothy is his ticket to a successful show.

(b. 1922- 25) An ingenue from town. She is a high school teacher but has dreams of becoming a full-time performer. She has a lovely singing voice and is often featured in the broadcasts on Jack’s station. Unbeknownst to everyone, she is Dorothy Sullivan and Jack Edward’s biological daughter.

(b. 1889 – 58) Dorothy’s manager, and a producer/director of her shows on Broadway. He and she are in a relationship. He can be a bit cantankerous. Partially because he is sometimes reduced to being Dorothy’s wrangler. But he’s basically a good guy. Unfortunately, his days of hits seem to be behind him.

(b. 1919 – 28) The radio station’s young manager. He produces all the programming. Jack hasn’t told him about the station’s struggles, but he knows anyway. So, he’s works hard to help keep the station open. If KMIN closes, he doesn’t have another job to go to, and he doesn’t want to leave Argyle, which would mean leaving Millie behind. He has a slight limp from a wound he got fighting in WWII.

(b. 1912- 35) An actor turned writer. Regularly works with Henry and Dorothy to write shows for her to star in. The regular partner of Alvin “Alvie” Evans. She’s the song writer. A smart broad…in the best sense of the word.

(b. 1909- 38) A mystery novelist turned Broadway writer. Regularly works with Henry and Dorothy to write shows for her to star in. The regular partner of Lillian Parker. He writes the libretto and lyrics.
