5 roles
The eldest Lafayette sibling. A divorced single parent. Incisive, fiercely funny, and emotionally volatile. Toni has spent a lifetime feeling unseen and underestimated, and she is unwilling to let either her family or her father’s memory be defined without her. She carries old hurts close to the surface and meets nearly every challenge head-on. Grew up in Washington, D.C., summers in Arkansas.
The middle Lafayette sibling and eldest son. Charming, confident, and deeply invested in the life he has built in New York. Bo considers himself the practical, reasonable member of the family, though beneath his affability lies entitlement, arrogance, and a carefully curated relationship to his past. Grew up in Washington, D.C., spending summers in Arkansas.
Bo’s wife, mother of two. Born and raised in the northeast. Intelligent, perceptive, warm, and wry. Rachael has learned to navigate the Lafayette family’s complexities with grace and patience while never losing her own perspective. She belongs to the family, but she also sees it more clearly than those who were born into it.
The youngest Lafayette sibling. Charismatic, mercurial, hopeful, and emotionally complicated. Estranged from the family for years, Franz longs for connection and believes reconciliation is still possible. His openness and optimism exist alongside deep shame, vulnerability, and unpredictability. Grew up in Washington, D.C and Arkansas.
Franz’s much younger fiancée. From Portland and a committed vegan. Earnest, hyper-liberal, outspoken, and eager to demonstrate her maturity and moral awareness. River’s empathy is genuine, but sometimes she can be as problematic as the people she judges.
