Reh: 7/1. Runs:
7/17 – 7/27/13
KEN (40s – 50s) A well-to-do lawyer. Wealthy,
but by no means pretentious. Takes charge of the situation.
Married to Chris. Halfway through the show, a gunshot causes his
temporary deafness.
CHRIS (40s – 50s) Another lawyer, married to
Ken. Beautiful, easily flustered. Frantically tries to maintain
normalcy at the party. Has recently quit smoking, which drives
her to drink a bit more.
LEN (40s – 50s) A wealthy accountant, married
to Claire. Distraught over the recent destruction over his new
car. Starts the show with an extreme case of whiplash.
Intolerant of the gossipy-lifestyle that he is often involved
in.
CLAIRE (40s – 50s) Len’s wife. Very concerned
with appearances (hers and others’). Starts the play with a
swollen lip. Likes to gossip.
ERNIE (40s – 50s) A psychiatrist, married to
Cookie. Affable, smokes a pipe. Loves his wife very much. Tries
to be as helpful as possible cooking the evening’s dinner.

Suffers from extreme back spasms. Loves her husband Ernie very
much. Absent-minded at times.

State Senate. Worried about his own reputation. Struggles with
placating his wife Cassie, who is convinced he is having an
affair(which he may or may not be).
CASSIE (30s) Glenn’s beautiful wife. Obsesses
over her husbands’ relationships with other women. Quick to
anger. Must rub her quartz crystal to calm herself down.
OFFICER WELCH (Male, 30s-50s) A city police
officer having a rough night. Does not tolerate lying. Sees
through the “classy” façade that these high-society types put
up.

1st
Reh: 7/18.
Runs: 7/31 – 7/10/13
BLUE GIRL – A
blue-blooded fashion model with a high soprano belt – low b flat
to high C. Blue is
sophisticated, poised, cool and aloof.
GREEN GIRL – Mezzo with Shirley Bassey-like belt.
She is a good-time girl.
Blousy, middle-class, and zany, she is a bit frayed at
the edges, and hopelessly single.
ORANGE GIRL – Soprano with belt – low B flat to high B flat.
The mother of the group, Orange is domestic and maternal.
Wise, soulful, and mature, she is slowly asserting her new-found
independence.
RED GIRL – Soprano with belt – low B flat to high C.
The baby of the group, Red is quirky, enthusiastic and
naïve. A hopeless
romantic.
YELLOW GIRL – Alto with big rock diva belt – F below mid C to
belt E flat. Yellow
is an uninhibited and brash.
She is a ray of sunshine with a surprising vulnerability.
