George Hay – (Male, 50s) A melodramatic, over-the-top actor. Must do strong physical comedy, including pratfalls, running, stage fencing, etc.

Ethel – (Female, 70s) Charlotte’s grumpy, trouble-making mother. She is hard of hearing, which leads to many comic misunderstandings. This actress must have a huge stage presence and strong comedic skills.

Eileen – (Female, early 20s) An eager-to-please aspiring actress who is having an fling with George.

Paul – (Male, late 20s-early 30s) A member of the troupe who used to be in love with Rosalind and wants her back. A dedicated actor, he did not leave the troupe when she did. Must be able to do strong physical comedy.

Richard – (Male, 50s) George and Charlotte’s attorney. He loves Charlotte and constantly tries to get her to leave George. He is wealthy and used to getting what he wants, and he is both amused and perplexed by the Hay family.
