5 role s
Age 52. Female-Presenting. The eldest Lafayette sibling: the family matriarch and executor of her deceased father’s estate. Assertive, headstrong, fierce, tenacious, controlling…and funny. On edge, wound up, with rough edges. She curses and is laceratingly forthright, which comes off as cruel. A snark queen. But, she has a HUGE heart, and loves, loves, loves. She is in much pain and suffers so, believing she’s led a wasted life worrying about and taking care of her family.
Age 50. Male-Presenting. The seemingly stable, rational middle Lafayette sibling. He’s struggling financially and is secretly about to lose his job. Burdened by having bankrolled his father’s convalescence over the past two years. Worried about money. Disbelieving of the horrid discoveries of the Lafayette family heritage. AUDITION ADVISORY: The actor playing Bo sobs mightily at play’s end (pgs 93-94).
Age 47. Female-Presenting. Bo’s wife and mother to Cassidy and Ainsley. Jewish; sensitive to any hint of antisemitism. A peacemaking mediator with bridge-building energy prone to wanting to help - until she snaps. A mama bear fiercely protective of her children. She’s got backbone.
Age 41. Male-Presenting. The youngest Lafayette brother of Toni and Bo, and the estranged, disfavored “black sheep” of the family. A former drug addict, alcoholic, and sex offender trying to clean up his past hellish life. He’s volatile with a hair-trigger temper and can volcanically flare up in an instant. A teasing jokester. He doesn’t sleep well. AUDITION ADVISORY: The actor playing Franz appears shirtless and soaking wet (bottom p. 79), and kisses his fiancé, River (p. 14)
Age 23, but looks younger. Female-Presenting. Franz’s fiancé. A sensitive, sage-smudging, Reiki certified, new age type mentored by a shaman. A part-time vegan restaurant chef in Portland, Oregon. She’s a medium who feels things in the spirit world. She believes in second chances, that people make mistakes and deserve to be forgiven when they ask for it, and that people can change. AUDITION ADVISORY: The actor playing River kisses her fiancé, Franz (p. 14).
