Note: Auditions are being held early in order to cast all actors, so some read-throughs can be held before full rehearsals begin on Jan. 2, 2013. Actors will be required to know the script by the time rehearsals begin.

List of characters:

Beverly Weston

The father and patriarch of the Weston family, aged 69. An alcoholic and former poet, his mysterious disappearance prompts his family's reunion.

 
Violet Weston

The mother and matriarch of the Weston family, aged 65. Suffering from cancer of the mouth, she is addicted to several prescription drugs, mostly depressants and narcotics. 

 

Barbara Fordham

The oldest daughter of the Weston Family, age 46. Mother of Jean and wife of Bill, though they are currently separated. She is a college professor in Boulder, Colorado. She wants to save her marriage, but has the intense need to control everything around her as it falls apart. 


Ivy Weston

The middle daughter of the Weston family, age 44. The only daughter to stay in Oklahoma, she teaches at the local college, and her calm and patient exterior hides a passionate woman who is gradually growing cynical. 


Karen Weston

The youngest daughter in the Weston family, age 40. She is newly engaged to Steve, whom she considers the "perfect man", and lives with him in Florida. Her perfect life is all a lie.

 

Bill Fordham

Barbara's estranged husband and Jean's father, age 49. A college professor, he has left his wife for a younger woman named Cindy, one of his students, but wants to be there for his family.

 

Jean Fordham

Bill and Barbara's smart-tongued 14-year-old daughter. She smokes pot and cigarettes, is a vegetarian, loves old movies, and is bitter about her parents' split. 


Steve Heidebrecht

Karen's fiancé, age 50. A businessman in Florida, (whose business, it is hinted, centers around the Middle East and may be less than legitimate) and not the "perfect man" that Karen considers him.  


Mattie Fae Aiken

Violet's sister, Charlie's wife and Little Charles' mother, age 57. Just as jaded as her sister, Mattie Fae constantly belittles her son and antagonizes her husband. 


Charlie Aiken

Husband of Mattie Fae and the presumed father of Little Charles, age 60. Charlie, a genial man, was a lifelong friend of Beverly. 


"Little" Charles Aiken

Son of Mattie Fae and Beverly, 37 years old. Unemployed and clumsy, his mother calls him a "screw-up", which may be a self-fulfilling prophecy. 


Johnna Monevata

A Cheyenne Indian woman, age 26, whom Beverly hires as a live-in housekeeper shortly before he disappears. Violet is prejudiced against her, but she wins over the other family members with her cooking skills, hard work, and empathy. 


Sheriff Deon Gilbeau

A high-school classmate and former boyfriend of Barbara's, age 47.
