MARTIN VANDERHOFMale60-75 y.o.All ethnicities

Also known as Grandpa. Grandpa is the heart of the home, and all the warmth and quirkiness of the other family members comes from him. He is relaxed above all else, joyful, and warm. Grandpa is clever, generous, and wanted for tax evasion, Martin is patriarch of the extended Sycamore brood. He is the definition of non-traditional and provides a welcome home to the artistic and slightly odd. "You Can't Take It With You "

PennyFemale40-50 y.o.All ethnicities

Penny is the definition of “whimsical” in that she only thinks in “whims.” She fancies herself a playwright and painter. The mother of Alice and Essie and the daughter of Martin, Penelope is hardworking, brilliantly creative, and frank. She writes multiple plays at a time, often concerned with less than savory subjects. "You Can't Take It With You "

PAUL SYCAMOREMale40-50 y.o.All ethnicities

Paul is quirky, focused, and full of joy. Husband to Penelope and father to Alice and Essie, Paul spends most of his time in the basement creating new and explosive fireworks. Paul possesses a childlike wonder, and although he loves his family dearly, he is often singularly focused on his projects. "You Can't Take It With You "

ALICE SYCAMOREFemale20-25 y.o.All ethnicities

In a family of distracted artists and erratic geniuses, Alice is remarkably “normal”. She is deeply in love with Tony, but fears that he won’t understand her non-traditional family. Although she loves her off-beat clan, Alice tries to pass them off as normal for the sake of the Kirby’s. The actress playing Alice must be able to remain grounded in the chaos of her family, and still cherish them even as they deeply embarrass her. "You Can't Take It With You "

ESSIE CARMICHAELFemale20-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Ballet Dancer and Confectioner. Essie is soft, distracted, and ALWAYS dancing. She is often found in the kitchen experimenting on new candies. This role requires extensive dancing, and basic pointe skills are preferred. "You Can't Take It With You "

ED CARMICHAELMale20-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Xylophonist and Printer. Ed’s airy, innocent personality is perfectly suited to his wife, Essie. He provides much of the music that Essie dances to, and likes to block print random phrases he picks up throughout the day. Ed is one of the few members of the Sycamore family who regularly leaves the house, acting as a delivery boy for Essie’s candies. Xylophone skills are a plus. Ed should be nerdy, bizarre, and sweet. "You Can't Take It With You "

RHEBAMale20-40 y.o.All ethnicities

Housekeeper. Although Rheba’s official job is that of a housekeeper, her culinary and cleaning skills are somewhat lackluster. Rather she functions as a champion of the various artistic pursuits occurring in the Vanderhof household. Rheba is bubbly, quick witted, and flirtatious, the favorite of both Donald and Kolenkhov. Rheba is a big personality and very very much one of the family. "You Can't Take It With You "

Tony is young, open-minded, and deeply in love with Alice. He is vice president to his father’s Wall Street company, but finds the artistic life of the Sycamores to be much more appealing.
